Welcome to the Level Up Podcast.
I'm your host, Paul Alex.
I went from being a cop to an eight-figure entrepreneur
that helps average people like you and me
make money every single day.
I created this podcast to help you get motivated
and to crush your goals.
Let's win together.
Remember, I have your six.
Get ready to level up right now.
All right, guys, so today we're diving into a topic
that's close to my heart and pivotal to my success.
Forcing yourself to do things that you don't want to do.
Working harder than everyone else, it sounds intense, right?
That's because it is. Success isn't handed to us.
We need to reach out and grab it with both hands.
And sometimes that means pushing ourselves harder than we ever thought possible.
When I
transitioned from being a detective to an entrepreneur, I had to adopt a whole new level
of discipline. In law enforcement, especially on the tough streets of Oakland, the demands were
high. But in the world of business, I realized to stand out. I had to be willing to do what others
wouldn't. Work harder, work longer, and keep pushing when others took a break. Now, let's break this down how you can start to work harder than everyone else.
First, it begins with setting your day up for success.
Wake up early, guys.
I'm telling you.
And when you wake up early, you feel powerful.
I start my day out at 5 a.m. every single day, even Saturday and Sundays.
Those quiet morning hours, that's when I plan my day.
I set my goals,
and I get a head start while my competitors are still sleeping. Next, you need to prioritize
your task. Not all work is created equal. Focus on what will drive results, the needle movers.
When I was building my companies, I realized that not every task deserved my attention.
Learn to delegate the small stuff. Spend your energy in what truly makes you move the needle. Strategy, growth,
networking, and learning, guys. Another key aspect, outlast your competition. There was a time when I
worked 100 hours a week, not because I loved being at the office or working at the street,
but because every extra hour I spent working was an extra hour spent outpacing my competition.
Remember, when you're resting, someone else is working to take your crown.
But here's something crucial.
Working harder doesn't mean burning out.
It means working smarter.
It means being relentless in your pursuit, but also taking care of your mind and body.
Force yourself to take breaks when needed. Force yourself to recharge. It's about sustainable hard
work. That's the kind of effort that leads to long-term success. Now, I want to challenge every
single one of you that's listening right now. This week, pick one area where you can push yourself to work
harder. Maybe it's getting an hour up earlier. Maybe it's refining a skill that can elevate your
career or perhaps finally start that project that you've been postponing. Whatever it is,
commit to it. Force yourself to step out of your comfort zone. And remember, this journey isn't
just about hitting goals. It's about setting an example, about being the kind of person
who inspires others to strive for more.
That's the ultimate reward.
Time to level up.
Remember, I always have your six.
