Unknown (00:00):
The biggest killer to success is distraction. If
(00:03):
you're not in control of yourmind, you're not in control of
your results move from beingscattered, reactive and mentally
drained, to putting yourselfback in the driving seat in
under 30 minutes per day. Thisis the daily focus and flow
framework by the carnivoreentrepreneur, after a hectic
(00:29):
year of the beginning of 2021where COVID We were still in
lockdown to the massive influxof business that we had at the
tail end of or the second halfof 2021, when the floodgates
opened and the staycation boomhappened, our business tripled
(00:52):
in size over the over the COVIDperiod. Not only did it triple
in size in terms of the amountof properties that we had under
management in our portfolio. Butthen the business went from, you
know, COVID lockdown to justabsolutely going crazy 2021 was
the best year that we had interms of growth, and also the
(01:16):
best year that we had in termsof average revenue per property,
because that's how we look atthings in our main trading
companies, we look at things inaverage, average property in
terms of how well we're doing interms of finances. It really
felt like things were workingreally well. And I had more
(01:38):
money Kay and I had more moneythan we'd ever had before.
Coming out of that sort ofcrisis period of COVID, where we
were actually told as anindustry that we needed to shut
down. We took it as anopportunity to pivot to learn,
to get better at business, andit just so happened that it just
(01:58):
all fell in the right time. Andactually, I would say COVID is
what put us on the road tobecoming millionaires,
essentially to have a sevenfigure net worth. We moved from
not very busy in COVID to beingreally busy, but making lots of
money in the second half of 2021we didn't plan much. We just
(02:18):
took it as we came. We workedreally, really hard at the
beginning of 2022 my body and mymind had been massively
neglected because we wereenjoying our healthy bank
account, and the bank accountwas very healthy in 2021 and we
made a decision in 2021 to buyour dream home. You know, we're
(02:40):
living there at the moment. Thisis the house I'm in at the
moment. So we, we put a lot ofmoney into buying our dream
home, putting it through a bigrefurbishment, you know, we
gutted the place and made itinto what we wanted. So we were
certainly enjoying our new foundgrowth and newfound wealth. But
I didn't realize at the time,even though I was getting fatter
(03:02):
and I wasn't as organized and Iwasn't treating my mind with the
level of respect that it neededto be treated with. I didn't
realize that those things werebeing neglected. So looking
back, I didn't know somethingwas wrong, and it led to over
indulging, overspending, andthat lack of clarity and focus
(03:27):
meant that we probably spent alittle bit more than what we
should, and put things into ourbodies that we shouldn't. Me
more than anything else, I'msaying we but me. You know, I
put more things into my bodythat I shouldn't it had a
cyclical effect. So whatessentially happened 2021 went
really, really great, and itmeant that my bank account was
(03:48):
fantastic, but then everythingelse took a downturn and but I
didn't like I said, didn'trealize that that that was that
was happening at the time.
However, beginning of firstquarter of 2022 I was searching
for something. Wasn't sure whatit was, but I knew things
weren't exactly the way thatthey needed to be, like, it was
(04:09):
fun. Like, don't get me wrong,having a lot of money makes
things a lot easier. But I wasdefinitely still searching for
something. Something didn't feelright. I wasn't looking in the
mirror and thinking that I wasdisgusting, even though I was a
lot fatter and not anywhere nearas strong as I am now. But I
definitely was searching forsomething. I felt like something
(04:30):
was missing. I can't rememberexactly when it was in 2022 but
I watched a video from Jim Rohn.
And Jim Rohn, if you don't know,is Tony Robbins mentor. Tony
Robbins is the guy that you knowreally made me break free from
my comfort trap that I was inbefore, and started me on this
(04:54):
road to finding myself andfinding my purpose. But this is
a bit further down the line, andI found Jim Rohn. And he
mentioned about journaling he'she just went on about how he
used to write things in hisjournal, his goals, all the
things that he wanted to do, andall the things that he was
grateful for, anything that hewanted to brain dump and get out
(05:15):
of his mind, and just use thatjournal for reaffirming things
in his life, you know, makingthings the way that they needed
to be, putting focus and clarityon the things that he wanted to
put focus and clarity on, anddirection of where he wanted to
go. I then started doing thesame so I at the time, just got
(05:38):
a blank book and started writingthings down daily, and I knew it
was something that I needed todo, because Jim Rohn, very
successful guide, mentored TonyRobbins, and actually, I knew
that it was something that Ineeded to do, and I felt like
that was something that I wassearching for and something that
was going to help me get towhere I wanted to. So I started
(06:00):
this daily habit, and I haven'tstopped the daily habit since
I've just progressed the dailyhabit and learned the types of
things that you can do in adaily journal and fit it around
busy lifestyle. So the types ofthings that I learned I needed
to write in my journal that putmy mind in a real, real clear,
(06:24):
real clear focus. Is aroundgratitude. It's around goals,
it's around lessons. It's aroundaffirmations and just putting
the things down that gets yourhead into the right space, gets
your focus into the right place,and then continuing to search
(06:45):
for this wasn't again, searchingfor the answer of how I move
forward, how I progress, how Iget to the next level. And then
I came across a book calledstress, less, accomplish more.
By Emily Fletcher. Now this is abook that taught me how to start
(07:09):
meditation, how to clear yourmind again, Stress Less,
accomplish more. The cleareryour mind is, the better
decisions you make, and thebetter the results that you get.
And that was the point of thisbook. So it taught me a way of
meditating that could be done in15 minutes. So since then, I've
(07:29):
practiced the journaling, themeditation on a daily basis. I
can quite comfortably say theclarity, the focus and the
development that I've had ineach area of my life, personally
and professionally, it hasleveled it up to a place that I
(07:53):
never thought it could get to. Igenuinely am excited to get up
every single day and write in myjournal, and I use meditation
daily to reset myself. Thejournal is used to set myself up
for the day and also closemyself down for the day, and
(08:15):
meditation is used to resetmyself during the day. Just
those two things, journaling andmeditation absolutely
transformed the meaning and theway that I approach life. And
that is a game changer for me,and it could be a game changer
for you as well, half over thelast two to three years, because
(08:39):
I've been doing this since 2022it's now 2025 as I've been
doing, I've developed them andmade them work for me. And I am
a busy entrepreneur that holds agroup company that has multiple
companies underneath it. Yes, wehave a main trading company,
(09:01):
which is the busiest of the lot.
I don't run that anymore. Mywife Kay has totally taken that
over and is doing a fantasticjob trying to take it to the
next level of optimumperformance. And I'm looking
after all the other sort ofsubsidiary companies and
investment companies that wehave underneath our group with
all the all the properties inthem and how they're trading,
(09:23):
developing this way of clearingyour mind, getting my focus and
my flow to the place that itneeds to be. I can do this in
under 30 minutes a day. And thatwas key to me, is every single
framework that I have needs tobe two things. It needs to be
(09:44):
simple and it needs to beefficient, because I'm a busy
entrepreneur, and I'm not justbusy on my businesses. I'm busy
in my personal life, and I'mbusy in my in my, you know,
making my. Body the way that itneeds to be, and I want to enjoy
every single day, and the focusand flow framework is
(10:05):
fundamental to me achievingthat, but I can do it in under
30 minutes a day. So what I wantto share with you now is the
carnivore entrepreneur, focusand flow framework, and there's
three parts to it. I'veexplained sort of two of them to
you, and the third one issomething that I've discovered
(10:27):
over the last year and a half,and hopefully that can help you
be more productive throughoutthe day as well. So over the
last two to three years, I havedeveloped these, and I've got to
a place now where really happywith them, and I'm not making
any significant changes to it.
(10:49):
Moving forward, this frameworkwill be in a PDF form as well
that you'll be able to downloadfrom the resources on the
website and the link in my bio,so feel free to click on there
and download the resources andthe templates for doing any of
the frameworks that I'm talkingabout in in the videos. The
(11:10):
first part is the journal, thethe carnivore, entrepreneur,
focus and flow journal. Now thisis just needs to be simple.
Okay, there's two parts to ittakes five minutes to do. You've
got about three minutes in themorning to set yourself up for
the day, and two minutes in theafternoon. So you can do this in
(11:31):
a blank in a blank workbook, ifyou want or feel free to print
off my PDF and fill that in.
That's not a problem as well.
You're basically doing a numberof things. So the first thing
that you're going to do isyou're going to write down the
three things that you aregrateful for today. They don't
have to be massive things. Theycan be small things. They can be
(11:54):
you know, I'm grateful that I'vegot two legs and I can walk
around, or I'm grateful that I'malive today, because 250,000
people last yesterday died. Youknow, there's, there's so many
small things that you can begrateful for, great for a roof
over your head, food on thetable. Or it might be bigger
(12:14):
things. You might have hadsomething amazing happen in your
life that you just want to begrateful for, and it might be a
big thing, but basically threethings that you're grateful for,
and then three things that aregoing to make today great. The
three key things that you wantto say by the end of the day,
you have done, you've tippedoff, you've achieved. What are
those three things? What are thethree things that you need to
(12:36):
get done? It might be a big taskyou've got. Might be something
that you're finishing off. Itmight be something you just need
to tick off because it's been onyour plate for ages, and just
need to get it done. You know,it could be a big thing. It
could be small things, but threethings that you absolutely want
to get done today, and then youwant to write down your three
sort of big goals. What I meanby big goals is stuff that
(12:57):
you're going to achieve in thenext one to three years, some
big things that you just need toachieve and that you're aiming
for, and that everything thatyou're doing today ties in with
those things, three things thatyou're grateful for, three
things that you're going to getdone today, and the three big
goals that you're going to getdone in the next one to three
years. So big items, the thingsthat you say, if you got to the
(13:19):
end of the next three years, ortwo years or one year, and you
achieve you'd be really, reallyhappy. And then last but not
least, the last thing is justwrite your affirmation for the
day. One thing that I've beenwriting in my book every single
day, I write different thingsall the time. Usually switches
between a couple things, but Ione of the things that I write
is take the time to be amemorable person. So my
(13:41):
affirmation today is, take thetime to be someone that is worth
remembering. And how can Iexperience even more love and
joy right now? I sometimes do. Iam affirmation. So I am love, I
am truth. I am a leader. I am alion. Part of the logo I am
liberated. They're the types ofexamples of affirmation,
(14:04):
something that's gonna themeyour day, and that is gonna
ground you for the day,essentially to make you be the
best person that you possiblycan be. So just to recap, the
journal is gonna be three thingsthat you're grateful for, three
things that you wanna get donetoday, three things that you
want to achieve in the next oneto three years, and then your
affirmation for the day to makeyou have the best possible day
(14:27):
ever. So that is the carnivoreentrepreneur, focus and flow
journal, again, PDF will be ableto be downloaded. Number two is
the meditation. So the carnivoreentrepreneur, focus and flow
meditation. Now this is reallyeasy. Everyone thinks meditation
is home, and you've got toreally clear your mind, and you
(14:48):
can't think of anything, and ifyou think of something, you've
failed. It's not what thismeditation is all about. All
this is, is noticing thethoughts in your head. And it's
a very, very simple process.
I'll go through them with younow. So what you need to do is
either set a timer, find a quietspace. And actually, I've done
this in a noisy space as well,but it's better in a in a quiet
(15:12):
space, if you can find a quietspace. So find a quiet space,
get yourself a 20 minute timer,or even this is what I do. I
find myself a 20 minutemeditation piece of music. So
you can find them online. Justmake sure it's between 15 and 20
minutes. Got to be over 15minutes, but not any more than
20. So between 15 and 20minutes, the one I've got 19. So
(15:32):
you find, find those timer. Youset the time, but you don't want
to fall asleep. You don't wantto go over sometimes, if you are
pretty tired, you could fallasleep doing this. You don't
want to go over the 20 minutesand then sit down. Get yourself
comfortable. Don't lie down. Sosit up straight. You can either
sit up on your bed or sit in achair in a quiet area. Just make
sure that you're comfortablesitting up and then just close
(15:54):
your eyes, put your music on orset your timer. You've got to
notice all of your five senses.
I start off with the things thatI can hear, so listen around for
the things that you can hear,small things, big things,
whatever you can hear. Justnotice the things around you,
and then you're going to noticethe things that you can feel.
(16:14):
Five senses. First notice thethings that you can hear, then
notice the thing feel thingsthat you can hear, this, the
seat underneath you, or the bedunderneath you, your hands on
your legs, or whatever thatmight be, a throbbing. You might
have a pain somewhere. It's justabout noticing what you can
feel. It might be air on yourface, possibly so notice the
(16:37):
things that you can feel, thenyou notice the things that you
can smell. So breathe in throughyour nose. You might not be able
to smell much, but it's justbreathing in through your nose
and noticing anything that youcan smell. You know, you spend a
few seconds on each you don'tneed to spend a lot of time. So
notice things you can hear,notice the things you can feel,
notice the things you can smell,then probably guest. Notice the
(17:00):
things you can taste. Taste thethings that you're in your
mouth. You might have eatensomething before you do the
meditation. So you'd be tastingthe remnants and that you might
have had a mint. So you'retasting the leftover of the mint
that was there. So you know, youmight not taste much if you
haven't had the thing, butyou've got to notice the taste.
So what are you tasting? Andthen, last but not least, even
(17:22):
though your eyes are closed, younotice the things that you can
see. So I can't remember theword for it, but there is a
there's a description of whatthe color is when you've got
your eyes closed, but whatyou'll notice is, especially if
it's light out, you might noticeflickering. You might notice
certain spots in your eye, inyour eyelids, that that are, you
(17:44):
know, flashing around, orwhatever that might be. But
you've got to notice your sight,so your five senses see what you
can notice and notice themindividually. And then just
before you go into the propermeditation, and this shouldn't
take longer than a minute or so,right? When you go into the
proper meditation, just beforeyou bring all five senses
together, so what you can hear,smell, taste, see and feel all
(18:07):
at once. And you do that for afew seconds, and then you go
into the meditation. All themeditation is it's really,
really simple. So you've setyour timer, you've noticed your
senses, you've become present.
That's the idea. The only reasonyou're doing the senses thing is
to become present in the moment,and then all you do is you say a
word that's calming and onesyllable, one, that's the word
(18:31):
that I use. I use the word one.
I find that very soothing, likeI am the one, I'm the only one,
and it's one syllable, and youcan just go one one, and I find
that very calming. So feel freeto use that word, but as long as
it's one syllable word, andyou're saying it over and over
again in your mind, not out loudthrough your mouth, but over and
(18:54):
over again in your mind, and theword is called a mantra, and
that mantra just resets you andkeeps your thoughts at a
minimum. But don't worry if yourthoughts drift. It is okay to
drift in thought. You just haveto notice the thoughts that are
(19:14):
there. And sometimes you'll bemore in a trance, sometimes, and
sometimes you'll be moreconscious of what's around you,
and that's not a problem. Itdoesn't matter. All it is is the
act. There isn't a right, a goodway or a bad way to do this. It
just is the way at that momentin time. Sometimes you got a lot
of things racing around in yourmind, and you've got to allow
(19:36):
those things to mix about and gofor it. Just say the word over
and over again. Use that word toreset yourself when your mind
drifts, when you get a load ofthoughts in. So you might start
off by saying, 1111, and thenyour mind starts thinking about
something else, and you're Oh, Istarted thinking about something
(19:57):
else, not that you've donesomething bad by thinking about
something. Else. You've justnoticed you started thinking
about something else, not the111, over and again. You go, oh,
I started thinking aboutsomething else. Oh, we go back
to the 1111,and you'll find yourself doing
that, and it will reset you. Iguarantee it. You will get a lot
from it. That's the process.
When the timer goes off or thesong finishes, that's the time
(20:18):
to stop. And you will notice itactually you find yourself
coming becoming more conscious.
If you do go into a trance, youactually do find yourself
becoming more conscious afterabout 12 to 15 minutes, and
you'll notice that, and then youcan gradually come back out, and
then ease yourself back out,open your eyes. I recommend
having a drink of water by thebed or by the chair or in the
room, wherever you are so thatwhen you're finished, you can
(20:40):
have a nice, big drink of water,and it just gets you back
hydrated and ready to go for therest of your day. The third
thing I did mention a thirdthing, and that third thing is
just how to break up your workso that you get maximum
productivity. What you need todo is you need to learn how much
you can do before you startlosing productivity. It's
(21:04):
difficult to judge this, but Idid an assessment by using a
timer. You can you've got onlinetimers apps, loads of stuff that
can track your time, but Istarted off with a timer. Now I
do a time tracking app. I usetoggle. There's other things
called clockify. So there'sloads and loads of things that
you can use. However, you couldjust start with a basic timer,
(21:24):
and just time when you feel likeyour productivity is dipping,
have a look and see how longthat is, and just test it on a
few tasks that you do, andyou'll get an average. My
average is one and a half to twohours. You know, I can't really
go above two hours and get goodproductivity. Sometimes it's
even as low as an hour or hourand 15 minutes. What I tend to
do is I set myself for each hourto an hour and a half for each
(21:47):
task, and then I make sure thatI stop working irrelevant of how
far I've got with the task. Imight have finished it, I might
not, but then I will take a 20to 30 minute break in between
each period of working, andactually, I found I'm more
productive working less. That'sreally, really important is that
(22:07):
you take your breaks throughoutthe day. So the third thing was
more of a tip to make sure thatyou break up your working day.
Because us as busyentrepreneurs, busy carnivore
entrepreneurs, we need to makesure that we take breaks and
that when we do work, we are atour highest capacity, making our
best decisions and doing ourhighest value work. If you
(22:30):
didn't know already, the mindpretty much unlocks.
Everything's unlocked from themind you become what you think
you are if you are clouded andconfused, you can't see who
you're supposed to be. Can't seeyour purpose. You can't see the
direction of travel that you'resupposed to go in because your
(22:51):
mind is confused. It's notclear. And this focus and flow
framework totally, totallyunlocks that and it and if it
doesn't straight away, it will,but what it does do straight
away is it make you feel a heckof a lot better. It'll put you
your mind at rest. It'll clearyou up, and it'll just make you
feel a lot better throughout theday, and make you enjoy life a
(23:12):
heck of a lot more, even if yourpurpose and your direction of
travel isn't clear straightaway, what you want is you want
less confusion, because lessconfusion is better, makes you
make better decisions. Lessstress gives you better
communication, because if you'renot stressed, then you will
communicate with yourselfbetter. You'll communicate with
(23:34):
other people better. And thenthe byproduct of having less
confusion and less stress is somuch more clarity in what you're
doing. And therefore, as what weall want as high performing
entrepreneurs is better results,and that is the aim of the game,
better results in your mind,better results in your body,
(23:59):
more importantly, better resultsin your bank account, so that
you can freely enjoy your lifehowever you want to, whenever
you want to, on your terms. Somy challenge to you is try this
for one day, doing exactly asI've explained, doing your three
minutes in the morning with thejournal during the day, doing
the meditation the evening,signing off at the end of the
(24:20):
day and let me know in thecomments how it made you feel.
If you've got any challengeswith doing it, do you have 30
minutes a day that you candedicate to doing a bit of a
five minute journal and 15 to 20minutes worth of meditation? I
guarantee you you do. I'm sureyou can find it somewhere, and I
guarantee you as well. I am 100%confident that will make you
(24:42):
more productive and get youbetter results, which is what
we're all aiming for at the endof the day. Final thoughts, most
people let their mind run them.
You need to take back controltoday, and this is your
opportunity to do. So. Remember,make. Comment, like and
subscribe, and I'll speak also.
If this episode resonated withyou, share it with someone who
(25:05):
needs to hear it. You are acarnivore entrepreneur. Live
life how it was supposed to be,lived on your terms, with
strength, energy and purpose.
I'll see you on the nextepisode. Bye.
The biggest killer to success is distraction. If
(00:03):
you're not in control of yourmind, you're not in control of
your results move from beingscattered, reactive and mentally
drained, to putting yourselfback in the driving seat in
under 30 minutes per day. Thisis the daily focus and flow
framework by the carnivoreentrepreneur, after a hectic
(00:29):
year of the beginning of 2021where COVID We were still in
lockdown to the massive influxof business that we had at the
tail end of or the second halfof 2021, when the floodgates

Coming out of that sort ofcrisis period of COVID, where we

made a decision in 2021 to buyour dream home. You know, we're

moment. So we, we put a lot ofmoney into buying our dream

gutted the place and made itinto what we wanted. So we were
certainly enjoying our new foundgrowth and newfound wealth. But
I didn't realize at the time,even though I was getting fatter
(03:02):
and I wasn't as organized and Iwasn't treating my mind with the
level of respect that it neededto be treated with. I didn't
realize that those things werebeing neglected. So looking
back, I didn't know somethingwas wrong, and it led to over
indulging, overspending, andthat lack of clarity and focus
(03:27):
meant that we probably spent alittle bit more than what we
should, and put things into ourbodies that we shouldn't. Me
more than anything else, I'msaying we but me. You know, I
put more things into my bodythat I shouldn't it had a
cyclical effect. So whatessentially happened 2021 went
really, really great, and itmeant that my bank account was
(03:48):
fantastic, but then everythingelse took a downturn and but I
didn't like I said, didn'trealize that that that was that
was happening at the time.
However, beginning of firstquarter of 2022 I was searching
for something. Wasn't sure whatit was, but I knew things
weren't exactly the way thatthey needed to be, like, it was
(04:09):
fun. Like, don't get me wrong,having a lot of money makes
things a lot easier. But I wasdefinitely still searching for
something. Something didn't feelright. I wasn't looking in the
mirror and thinking that I wasdisgusting, even though I was a
lot fatter and not anywhere nearas strong as I am now. But I
definitely was searching forsomething. I felt like something
(04:30):
was missing. I can't rememberexactly when it was in 2022 but
I watched a video from Jim Rohn.
And Jim Rohn, if you don't know,is Tony Robbins mentor. Tony
Robbins is the guy that you knowreally made me break free from
my comfort trap that I was inbefore, and started me on this
(04:54):
road to finding myself andfinding my purpose. But this is
a bit further down the line, andI found Jim Rohn. And he
mentioned about journaling he'she just went on about how he
used to write things in hisjournal, his goals, all the
things that he wanted to do, andall the things that he was
grateful for, anything that hewanted to brain dump and get out
(05:15):
of his mind, and just use thatjournal for reaffirming things
in his life, you know, makingthings the way that they needed
to be, putting focus and clarityon the things that he wanted to
put focus and clarity on, anddirection of where he wanted to
go. I then started doing thesame so I at the time, just got
(05:38):
a blank book and started writingthings down daily, and I knew it
was something that I needed todo, because Jim Rohn, very
successful guide, mentored TonyRobbins, and actually, I knew
that it was something that Ineeded to do, and I felt like
that was something that I wassearching for and something that
was going to help me get towhere I wanted to. So I started
(06:00):
this daily habit, and I haven'tstopped the daily habit since
I've just progressed the dailyhabit and learned the types of
things that you can do in adaily journal and fit it around
busy lifestyle. So the types ofthings that I learned I needed
to write in my journal that putmy mind in a real, real clear,
(06:24):
real clear focus. Is aroundgratitude. It's around goals,
it's around lessons. It's aroundaffirmations and just putting
the things down that gets yourhead into the right space, gets
your focus into the right place,and then continuing to search
(06:45):
for this wasn't again, searchingfor the answer of how I move
forward, how I progress, how Iget to the next level. And then
I came across a book calledstress, less, accomplish more.
By Emily Fletcher. Now this is abook that taught me how to start
(07:09):
meditation, how to clear yourmind again, Stress Less,
accomplish more. The cleareryour mind is, the better
decisions you make, and thebetter the results that you get.
And that was the point of thisbook. So it taught me a way of
meditating that could be done in15 minutes. So since then, I've
(07:29):
practiced the journaling, themeditation on a daily basis. I
can quite comfortably say theclarity, the focus and the
development that I've had ineach area of my life, personally
and professionally, it hasleveled it up to a place that I
(07:53):
never thought it could get to. Igenuinely am excited to get up
every single day and write in myjournal, and I use meditation
daily to reset myself. Thejournal is used to set myself up
for the day and also closemyself down for the day, and
(08:15):
meditation is used to resetmyself during the day. Just
those two things, journaling andmeditation absolutely
transformed the meaning and theway that I approach life. And
that is a game changer for me,and it could be a game changer
for you as well, half over thelast two to three years, because
(08:39):
I've been doing this since 2022it's now 2025 as I've been
doing, I've developed them andmade them work for me. And I am
a busy entrepreneur that holds agroup company that has multiple
companies underneath it. Yes, wehave a main trading company,
(09:01):
which is the busiest of the lot.
I don't run that anymore. Mywife Kay has totally taken that
over and is doing a fantasticjob trying to take it to the
next level of optimumperformance. And I'm looking
after all the other sort ofsubsidiary companies and
investment companies that wehave underneath our group with
all the all the properties inthem and how they're trading,
(09:23):
developing this way of clearingyour mind, getting my focus and
my flow to the place that itneeds to be. I can do this in
under 30 minutes a day. And thatwas key to me, is every single
framework that I have needs tobe two things. It needs to be
(09:44):
simple and it needs to beefficient, because I'm a busy
entrepreneur, and I'm not justbusy on my businesses. I'm busy
in my personal life, and I'mbusy in my in my, you know,
making my. Body the way that itneeds to be, and I want to enjoy
every single day, and the focusand flow framework is
(10:05):
fundamental to me achievingthat, but I can do it in under
30 minutes a day. So what I wantto share with you now is the
carnivore entrepreneur, focusand flow framework, and there's
three parts to it. I'veexplained sort of two of them to
you, and the third one issomething that I've discovered
(10:27):
over the last year and a half,and hopefully that can help you
be more productive throughoutthe day as well. So over the
last two to three years, I havedeveloped these, and I've got to
a place now where really happywith them, and I'm not making
any significant changes to it.
(10:49):
Moving forward, this frameworkwill be in a PDF form as well
that you'll be able to downloadfrom the resources on the
website and the link in my bio,so feel free to click on there
and download the resources andthe templates for doing any of
the frameworks that I'm talkingabout in in the videos. The
(11:10):
first part is the journal, thethe carnivore, entrepreneur,
focus and flow journal. Now thisis just needs to be simple.
Okay, there's two parts to ittakes five minutes to do. You've
got about three minutes in themorning to set yourself up for
the day, and two minutes in theafternoon. So you can do this in
(11:31):
a blank in a blank workbook, ifyou want or feel free to print
off my PDF and fill that in.
That's not a problem as well.
You're basically doing a numberof things. So the first thing
that you're going to do isyou're going to write down the
three things that you aregrateful for today. They don't
have to be massive things. Theycan be small things. They can be
(11:54):
you know, I'm grateful that I'vegot two legs and I can walk
around, or I'm grateful that I'malive today, because 250,000
people last yesterday died. Youknow, there's, there's so many
small things that you can begrateful for, great for a roof
over your head, food on thetable. Or it might be bigger
(12:14):
things. You might have hadsomething amazing happen in your
life that you just want to begrateful for, and it might be a
big thing, but basically threethings that you're grateful for,
and then three things that aregoing to make today great. The
three key things that you wantto say by the end of the day,
you have done, you've tippedoff, you've achieved. What are
those three things? What are thethree things that you need to
(12:36):
get done? It might be a big taskyou've got. Might be something
that you're finishing off. Itmight be something you just need
to tick off because it's been onyour plate for ages, and just
need to get it done. You know,it could be a big thing. It
could be small things, but threethings that you absolutely want
to get done today, and then youwant to write down your three
sort of big goals. What I meanby big goals is stuff that
(12:57):
you're going to achieve in thenext one to three years, some
big things that you just need toachieve and that you're aiming
for, and that everything thatyou're doing today ties in with
those things, three things thatyou're grateful for, three
things that you're going to getdone today, and the three big
goals that you're going to getdone in the next one to three
years. So big items, the thingsthat you say, if you got to the
(13:19):
end of the next three years, ortwo years or one year, and you
achieve you'd be really, reallyhappy. And then last but not
least, the last thing is justwrite your affirmation for the
day. One thing that I've beenwriting in my book every single
day, I write different thingsall the time. Usually switches
between a couple things, but Ione of the things that I write
is take the time to be amemorable person. So my
(13:41):
affirmation today is, take thetime to be someone that is worth
remembering. And how can Iexperience even more love and
joy right now? I sometimes do. Iam affirmation. So I am love, I
am truth. I am a leader. I am alion. Part of the logo I am
liberated. They're the types ofexamples of affirmation,
(14:04):
something that's gonna themeyour day, and that is gonna
ground you for the day,essentially to make you be the
best person that you possiblycan be. So just to recap, the
journal is gonna be three thingsthat you're grateful for, three
things that you wanna get donetoday, three things that you
want to achieve in the next oneto three years, and then your
affirmation for the day to makeyou have the best possible day
(14:27):
ever. So that is the carnivoreentrepreneur, focus and flow
journal, again, PDF will be ableto be downloaded. Number two is
the meditation. So the carnivoreentrepreneur, focus and flow
meditation. Now this is reallyeasy. Everyone thinks meditation
is home, and you've got toreally clear your mind, and you
(14:48):
can't think of anything, and ifyou think of something, you've
failed. It's not what thismeditation is all about. All
this is, is noticing thethoughts in your head. And it's
a very, very simple process.
I'll go through them with younow. So what you need to do is
either set a timer, find a quietspace. And actually, I've done
this in a noisy space as well,but it's better in a in a quiet
(15:12):
space, if you can find a quietspace. So find a quiet space,
get yourself a 20 minute timer,or even this is what I do. I
find myself a 20 minutemeditation piece of music. So
you can find them online. Justmake sure it's between 15 and 20
minutes. Got to be over 15minutes, but not any more than
20. So between 15 and 20minutes, the one I've got 19. So
(15:32):
you find, find those timer. Youset the time, but you don't want
to fall asleep. You don't wantto go over sometimes, if you are
pretty tired, you could fallasleep doing this. You don't
want to go over the 20 minutesand then sit down. Get yourself
comfortable. Don't lie down. Sosit up straight. You can either
sit up on your bed or sit in achair in a quiet area. Just make
sure that you're comfortablesitting up and then just close
(15:54):
your eyes, put your music on orset your timer. You've got to
notice all of your five senses.
I start off with the things thatI can hear, so listen around for
the things that you can hear,small things, big things,
whatever you can hear. Justnotice the things around you,
and then you're going to noticethe things that you can feel.
(16:14):
Five senses. First notice thethings that you can hear, then
notice the thing feel thingsthat you can hear, this, the
seat underneath you, or the bedunderneath you, your hands on
your legs, or whatever thatmight be, a throbbing. You might
have a pain somewhere. It's justabout noticing what you can
feel. It might be air on yourface, possibly so notice the
(16:37):
things that you can feel, thenyou notice the things that you
can smell. So breathe in throughyour nose. You might not be able
to smell much, but it's justbreathing in through your nose
and noticing anything that youcan smell. You know, you spend a
few seconds on each you don'tneed to spend a lot of time. So
notice things you can hear,notice the things you can feel,
notice the things you can smell,then probably guest. Notice the
(17:00):
things you can taste. Taste thethings that you're in your
mouth. You might have eatensomething before you do the
meditation. So you'd be tastingthe remnants and that you might
have had a mint. So you'retasting the leftover of the mint
that was there. So you know, youmight not taste much if you
haven't had the thing, butyou've got to notice the taste.
So what are you tasting? Andthen, last but not least, even
(17:22):
though your eyes are closed, younotice the things that you can
see. So I can't remember theword for it, but there is a
there's a description of whatthe color is when you've got
your eyes closed, but whatyou'll notice is, especially if
it's light out, you might noticeflickering. You might notice
certain spots in your eye, inyour eyelids, that that are, you
(17:44):
know, flashing around, orwhatever that might be. But
you've got to notice your sight,so your five senses see what you
can notice and notice themindividually. And then just
before you go into the propermeditation, and this shouldn't
take longer than a minute or so,right? When you go into the
proper meditation, just beforeyou bring all five senses
together, so what you can hear,smell, taste, see and feel all
(18:07):
at once. And you do that for afew seconds, and then you go
into the meditation. All themeditation is it's really,
really simple. So you've setyour timer, you've noticed your
senses, you've become present.
That's the idea. The only reasonyou're doing the senses thing is
to become present in the moment,and then all you do is you say a
word that's calming and onesyllable, one, that's the word
(18:31):
that I use. I use the word one.
I find that very soothing, likeI am the one, I'm the only one,
and it's one syllable, and youcan just go one one, and I find
that very calming. So feel freeto use that word, but as long as
it's one syllable word, andyou're saying it over and over
again in your mind, not out loudthrough your mouth, but over and
(18:54):
over again in your mind, and theword is called a mantra, and
that mantra just resets you andkeeps your thoughts at a
minimum. But don't worry if yourthoughts drift. It is okay to
drift in thought. You just haveto notice the thoughts that are
(19:14):
there. And sometimes you'll bemore in a trance, sometimes, and
sometimes you'll be moreconscious of what's around you,
and that's not a problem. Itdoesn't matter. All it is is the
act. There isn't a right, a goodway or a bad way to do this. It
just is the way at that momentin time. Sometimes you got a lot
of things racing around in yourmind, and you've got to allow
(19:36):
those things to mix about and gofor it. Just say the word over
and over again. Use that word toreset yourself when your mind
drifts, when you get a load ofthoughts in. So you might start
off by saying, 1111, and thenyour mind starts thinking about
something else, and you're Oh, Istarted thinking about something
(19:57):
else, not that you've donesomething bad by thinking about
something. Else. You've justnoticed you started thinking
about something else, not the111, over and again. You go, oh,
I started thinking aboutsomething else. Oh, we go back
to the 1111,and you'll find yourself doing
that, and it will reset you. Iguarantee it. You will get a lot
from it. That's the process.
When the timer goes off or thesong finishes, that's the time
(20:18):
to stop. And you will notice itactually you find yourself
coming becoming more conscious.
If you do go into a trance, youactually do find yourself
becoming more conscious afterabout 12 to 15 minutes, and
you'll notice that, and then youcan gradually come back out, and
then ease yourself back out,open your eyes. I recommend
having a drink of water by thebed or by the chair or in the
room, wherever you are so thatwhen you're finished, you can
(20:40):
have a nice, big drink of water,and it just gets you back
hydrated and ready to go for therest of your day. The third
thing I did mention a thirdthing, and that third thing is
just how to break up your workso that you get maximum
productivity. What you need todo is you need to learn how much
you can do before you startlosing productivity. It's
(21:04):
difficult to judge this, but Idid an assessment by using a
timer. You can you've got onlinetimers apps, loads of stuff that
can track your time, but Istarted off with a timer. Now I
do a time tracking app. I usetoggle. There's other things
called clockify. So there'sloads and loads of things that
you can use. However, you couldjust start with a basic timer,
(21:24):
and just time when you feel likeyour productivity is dipping,
have a look and see how longthat is, and just test it on a
few tasks that you do, andyou'll get an average. My
average is one and a half to twohours. You know, I can't really
go above two hours and get goodproductivity. Sometimes it's
even as low as an hour or hourand 15 minutes. What I tend to
do is I set myself for each hourto an hour and a half for each
(21:47):
task, and then I make sure thatI stop working irrelevant of how
far I've got with the task. Imight have finished it, I might
not, but then I will take a 20to 30 minute break in between
each period of working, andactually, I found I'm more
productive working less. That'sreally, really important is that
(22:07):
you take your breaks throughoutthe day. So the third thing was
more of a tip to make sure thatyou break up your working day.
Because us as busyentrepreneurs, busy carnivore
entrepreneurs, we need to makesure that we take breaks and
that when we do work, we are atour highest capacity, making our
best decisions and doing ourhighest value work. If you
(22:30):
didn't know already, the mindpretty much unlocks.
Everything's unlocked from themind you become what you think
you are if you are clouded andconfused, you can't see who
you're supposed to be. Can't seeyour purpose. You can't see the
direction of travel that you'resupposed to go in because your
(22:51):
mind is confused. It's notclear. And this focus and flow
framework totally, totallyunlocks that and it and if it
doesn't straight away, it will,but what it does do straight
away is it make you feel a heckof a lot better. It'll put you
your mind at rest. It'll clearyou up, and it'll just make you
feel a lot better throughout theday, and make you enjoy life a
(23:12):
heck of a lot more, even if yourpurpose and your direction of
travel isn't clear straightaway, what you want is you want
less confusion, because lessconfusion is better, makes you
make better decisions. Lessstress gives you better
communication, because if you'renot stressed, then you will
communicate with yourselfbetter. You'll communicate with
(23:34):
other people better. And thenthe byproduct of having less
confusion and less stress is somuch more clarity in what you're
doing. And therefore, as what weall want as high performing
entrepreneurs is better results,and that is the aim of the game,
better results in your mind,better results in your body,
(23:59):
more importantly, better resultsin your bank account, so that
you can freely enjoy your lifehowever you want to, whenever
you want to, on your terms. Somy challenge to you is try this
for one day, doing exactly asI've explained, doing your three
minutes in the morning with thejournal during the day, doing
the meditation the evening,signing off at the end of the
(24:20):
day and let me know in thecomments how it made you feel.
If you've got any challengeswith doing it, do you have 30
minutes a day that you candedicate to doing a bit of a
five minute journal and 15 to 20minutes worth of meditation? I
guarantee you you do. I'm sureyou can find it somewhere, and I
guarantee you as well. I am 100%confident that will make you
(24:42):
more productive and get youbetter results, which is what
we're all aiming for at the endof the day. Final thoughts, most
people let their mind run them.
You need to take back controltoday, and this is your
opportunity to do. So. Remember,make. Comment, like and
subscribe, and I'll speak also.
If this episode resonated withyou, share it with someone who
(25:05):
needs to hear it. You are acarnivore entrepreneur. Live
life how it was supposed to be,lived on your terms, with
strength, energy and purpose.
I'll see you on the nextepisode. Bye.
