Does your schedule look like this?

Friend, If you were to pull up your calendar app right now, would your schedule look something like this? Adam posted this in our Focus Academy slack earlier this year. (Reminder: tomorrow is the LAST day to [enroll in our upcoming Focus Academy class!)]( 3 things immediately jump out about Adam’s calendar: - He says this is just his work schedule. Wow. Think about adding all of your personal responsibilities on top of this. Maybe you already know what that’s like. - There’s not a lot of white space (AKA margin) to be found. - Despite his jam-packed schedule, Adam still made time for Focus Academy. [I’ve said it before]( and I’ll say it again: The people who get the most out of Focus Academy tend to be those who are worried they DON’T have time for it. Despite what the stories of #hustle culture say, a schedule with little to no breathing room is not sustainable and will eventually burn you out. BUT! You can’t break free from it without setting aside some time and energy to do so. That’s why we designed Focus Academy with you in mind. If you can make a small weekly commitment for 4 weeks, you can not only restore breathing room to your calendar, but also start dedicating more time to the projects, people, and passions that matter most to you — even if you’re not clear on what those are right now! So, how much time does it require? I’m writing this email to tell you exactly that, along with answers to some of the other most common questions we’re getting as enrollment comes to a close. 1. How much time does Focus Academy really require? If you can give me 2 hours each week, you will walk away with the ability to open up at least that much margin (but likely much more) in your calendar every week going forward. The time you put into Focus Academy is an investment. It will multiply into even more time for the things that matter to you every day for the rest of your life. When you think about it that way, 2 hours per week for 4 weeks is pocket change. Two hours is plenty of time to watch the weekly training session + complete the implementation exercises in your workbook for the week. Beyond that, you can also choose to show up for our live Q&A call on Fridays with any questions, attend the bonus Pro workshops on Wednesdays, and meet with your small group mastermind if you’re in the Pro tier. These will help you get even more value out of the program, but the Monday session + weekly implementation tasks are the most essential. 2. What if I fall behind? One of the reasons I love the live format of Focus Academy is that, honestly, people rarely end up falling behind. There is something empowering about having everything pre-loaded into your calendar, so that all you have to do is show up when we tell you to. Completion rates of Focus Academy have been, on average, over 10x higher than the self-paced Focus Course. Getting the time on your calendar in advance is an excellent forcing function for staying committed and making it happen. Focus Academy is for those who: - Want to set aside a few hours per week so that they can ensure they actually go through the material (instead of having access to yet another course that collects digital dust) - Want to get direct coaching and input to help ensure you are doing it right - Want to have the accountability and motivation that comes from going through the same material with a small community of others for a short period of time If that sounds like you, I wouldn’t worry about falling behind. You’ve got this! 3. Will the workshops be recorded? Yes! While attending live is best (and allows for direct interaction), you’ll have quick access to all recordings so you can easily catch up if a non-negotiable conflict keeps you away. Even the Friday Q&A calls (which often contain some of the biggest insights from the community) are recorded, along with the Wednesday Pro workshops. 4. What makes Focus Academy different from The Focus Course? The Focus Course is the self-paced version. In Focus Academy, you get three big bonuses: - The real-time element brings motivation and accountability. - The Pro Workshops and Mastermind Small Groups. - Access to my team and I to personally coach you through in a community setting. You don’t have to worry about finding time in your calendar to actually go through the material. We tell you what to do and when to do it. You don’t have to worry about getting stuck or falling off track. You’ll have a team and community to hold you accountable. It’s the most effective format for getting results we’ve ever created. For example, check out what Hollie said about the difference between Academy and The Focus Course: 5. Is it really risk free? Yes! I want this to be an easy decision for you. Since it can be scary to commit to something without being positive of your end results, I’m glad to offer a full refund to anyone who doesn't get value during their Focus Academy experience. If you join Academy, watch the coaching sessions, and do the workbook...but you find that it wasn't worth your investment or you don't see the benefits and results you were looking for...then just let us know within 30 days from the end of Academy and we will give you a full refund. So that’s it. At this point, you should have everything you need to know if Focus Academy can unlock the margin, balance, and, most importantly, the results you’d like to achieve this year. If you think it can, then I look forward to sending your onboarding info over soon. Just make sure to enroll and save your spot before the deadline tomorrow.
