Thanks for being here Reader. Let's get right into it.
A rut is just a grave with the ends kicked out.
When you're in a rut, it's like being in quicksand. You're stuck, and the harder you push, the more stuck you get.
I've been there. You probably have too. Maybe you're there right now.
Here are 5 ways I get out of a rut. One of them freaks people out every time I post it, and it involves your bed. 😬
Rut Breaker 1: Change your schedule.
Invert your day as much as you can. If you're early to bed and early to rise, flip the script. Work late and sleep in. We're going for a shock to the system here.
Rut Breaker 2: Change your venue.
Move your workspace. If you work from home, go to another room, the garage, the backyard shed, whatever.
When my sales team was in a rut, we moved our weekly meeting to the roof of our building. Same people, same agenda, but the conversation was completely different.
Rut Breakers 1 and 2 bust you out of your usual patterns, and your thinking follows.
Rut Breaker 3: Breakfast for dinner.
If you have kids, they'll love this one. Tell them it's backwards day and see how many things you can flip. Walk, bike, or run to work. Every time you hit something "normal," ask yourself how you could do it differently.
Rut Breaker 4: Connect with someone new.
Talk to somebody you don't know today. Tell the guy in the elevator you like his shoes. Chat up the person in line at the coffee shop.
New people shake loose our moist, robot brains.
This is the whole reason I started Reseller Mastermind. There are [3,300+] resellers in there. Some are on their first garage flip. Some are doing $30K a month. Nobody is an expert, including me. We share our wins and our screwups, and we push each other forward.
Rut Breaker 5: The one 99% of you won't do.
It's so simple, and it freaks people out every time.
Switch the side of the bed you sleep on.
That's it!
Waking up on the other side of the bed is a brain hack. It shocks your system and knocks you off autopilot. I've convinced my wife this is totally normal. We switch every few months to keep things fresh.
So here's my challenge. Can you do ANY of these? Or are you a Professional Rut Breaker who can tackle #5?
If #4 is the one you need, come meet some new people. It's $5 to try.
Cheers to your inevitable success!
