But it's the systems that create the winners, not the size of the goal you wrote down on the paper.

It's almost gotten to the point where I just make it hard on myself to fail.

For example, when I was writing my book, Buy Back Your Time, I said to myself, I will sit down and I will write every day.

And I sat there and I wrote every day.

I think I made it to like 22 days.

And then I realized I hated it and I didn't wanna do it.

And then I missed one day and one day turned into three days and then I wrote a little bit and then I didn't touch it for weeks.

That was not a winning system.

What I then changed was that I hired somebody, his name is Ron, and I said, you be the book CEO.

You hold me accountable.

You're the expert.

I will work for you.

So I created a system with Ron where we actually co-created this project called Buy Back Your Time, this beautiful blue book that's helped millions of people.

I had to create a system that I couldn't fail at by making it other people's dreams and goals for me to support.

Because I learned a long time ago, and I don't know if this is true for you, I will do way more for somebody else than I will ever do for myself.

I mean, it's a challenge as you have more success in life to keep the hunger going when you don't need anything.

And the way I do it is I make commitments to other people and that cheat code has gotten me incredibly productive.

Systems, it's a fun acronym.

It stands for save yourself time, energy, money, and stress.

So here are a few strategies that you can use today to build systems that literally buy back your time.
