Re: Systems
Hey,
Marlon here
In the last 21 days I've changed the rest of my days on earth,
however many those are.
It's called "Systems Thinking." And it will show you how to
improve any aspect of your life -- and put it on "auto pilot."
My new friend Sam was only 5 days away from bankruptcy and it
saved his business. And his health.
=================================================
Courtesy Reminder: To get my meaty bonus report
on this, snag any product of mine valued at $50
or more by 4 p.m. today. This report shares my
own personal experiences of the past 21 days.
=================================================
It's about a MINDSET. A perspective on life where you see that
anything and everything is composed of systems that break down
into sub systems. And by making each individual sub system work
and by troubleshooting problems there, you fix the overall
system or improve it.
It's not so much a method, although there ARE methods. It's a
mindset. A way of thinking about your business, your life,
your relationships.
So let's take the example of your yard.
Your yard is a system composed of sub systems -- your process or
sequence of steps for enriching the soil, for watering, for
fertilizing, for de-weeding, for cutting and trimming.
If I were to create a system for my yard, here is how I'd break
down the sub systems:
1. Soil management
2. Watering procedure
3. Fertilizing steps and timetable
4. Weed control process
5. Guide to cutting and trimming
Each one of those sub systems would be broken down into a precise
step-by-step process.
For example, right now in my city we have a drought so we have to
hand water. We aren't allowed to use sprinklers.
Here is my system for WATERING:
1. Screw on water attachment to front yard after 8 p.m.
2. Pull hose to right side of yard
3. Spray my side of yard until all ground has been covered
4. Spray over the fence on that side
5. Be sure to water the foundation
6. Move hose to main yard area
7. Check to make sure hose is not caught on car tire
8. Spray foundation and shrubs
9. Spray tree area
10. Spray extra on the places that need it most
11. Do not get any water on sidewalk
12. Detach nozzle
13. Wipe feet on doormat
14. Proceed to backyard
15. Attach nozzle
16. Spray left side by fence and foundation
17. Adjust nozzle to wide spray
18. Spray area surrounding patio
I won't finish the whole watering procedure but you get the idea.
You'll also notice that life would be simpler if I had TWO
nozzles instead of one!
Now, you do the SAME procedures for the other systems.
This is what I've been doing to my BUSINESS and to my personal
life. But the STEPS aren't nearly as important as understanding
the mindset.
This is why I want to send you my newest report about this topic
and how I've applied it to my BUSINESS if you snag any of my
products over $50 by 4 p.m. CST today.
After that time, Tim will email all buyers the report.
In addition, Sam has a book at Barnes and Noble and Amazon called
"Work The System" by Sam Carpenter. If you only read one book
this year, that should be it.
Sam changed his HEALTH with Systems Thinking by breaking his
overall health down into sub systems.
I've started drinking decaf ice tea during the day instead of
caffeine because I had this systems insight.
We're making all kinds of positive changes in my business and
documenting all kinds of systems. We've always had systems and
always documented.
But now I'm doing it differently and even more potently.
Best wishes,
Marlon Sanders
PS: The deadline really is 4 p.m. CST because Tim has to
hand email the report to all buyers.
