The speaker encourages listeners to share the podcast with others and invites them to subscribe for more strategies and success stories.

  • 00:00:00 In this section, the speakers discuss the importance of making time for your dreams instead of waiting for it to magically appear. The speaker, Lewis, shares his personal experience of starting a business while working and balancing family commitments. He emphasises the need to be intentional with time, comparing it to disposable cameras where each shot is valuable and limited. Before becoming an entrepreneur, Lewis would often spend evenings and weekends scrolling through social media and watching TV, but now he must be focused and productive with his time. He sets aside specific hours for work and prioritises the most important tasks to accomplish each day.

  • 00:05:00 In this section, the speaker shares his personal experience with managing time effectively to pursue entrepreneurial endeavors. He emphasises the importance of being intentional with time and focusing on high-leverage activities that align with one's mission. The speaker also addresses the common obstacle of not having enough time and suggests strategies such as batching tasks, delegating, and outsourcing to free up time. He encourages listeners to model successful entrepreneurs and follow their steps to build a business more efficiently.

  • 00:10:00 In this section, the speaker emphasises the importance of maintaining momentum towards one's dreams despite time constraints. They suggest delegating and automating tasks, batching activities, and reevaluating priorities to make the most of available time. The speaker shares their personal experience of batching meal preparation and cleaning tasks to save time. They also encourage listeners to question their use of the phrase "I don't have time" and instead consider whether they truly care enough about the task at hand. The speaker provides real-life examples of individuals who successfully started businesses alongside busy lives, such as Phil, who launched a dropshipping business and reached 103,000 in sales within four months, and Jarred, who shared his journey to 4 million in sales through high ticket dropshipping.

  • 00:15:00 In this section, the speaker shares inspiring stories of individuals who built successful businesses despite having no experience and being time-poor. One such individual, Phil, worked hard for the first four months to get his business up and running, but once it reached a certain level, he was able to outsource its day-to-day management, creating a semi-passive income stream. The speaker emphasises the importance of a sprint phase at the beginning and making it fun. He also shares his productivity technique, which he calls the "Pomodoro Technique," where one works intensely for 25 minutes and takes a five-minute break, repeating the cycle. The speaker suggests scheduling the day in these intervals and rewarding oneself after completing a task to increase productivity. Despite limited time, one can do more by focusing intensely.

  • 00:20:00 In this section, the speaker emphasises the importance of productivity and rewarding oneself after completing important tasks. He shares an example of his daily routine, which includes approving videos and reports, taking his son to the pool, and having downtime. The speaker suggests that having a reward system can help make productivity a habit. He also recommends planning the top three tasks for the next day at the end of each day and delegating or outsourcing less important tasks. The speaker uses the analogy of packing a suitcase to emphasise the importance of prioritisation and making room for what's essential. Overall, the speaker emphasizes the importance of having a strong why and prioritising tasks to make time for dreams.

  • 00:25:00 In this section, the speaker emphasises the importance of setting effective goals and keeping them in mind daily. Using the SMART goals acronym as a guide, he suggests setting specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound goals as milestones or checkpoints on your journey to success. Writing down your goals daily and focusing on them is also recommended, as it helps align your actions with the person you need to become to achieve those goals. The speaker encourages listeners to make their goals painful not to achieve and contrast that with the ease of taking small steps towards them. For those starting a business, the speaker advises using available time effectively and employing the techniques discussed in the episode.

  • 00:30:00 In this section, host Lewis discusses the question of how long it takes to start making sales with a high ticket drop shipping business. He emphasises that consistency is more important than the exact timeline, as once sales are being made, the proof of concept is established and the business can be scaled. The time it takes to make the first sale depends on the hours dedicated to the business each week. With their Masterclass program, Lewis sees members making their first sales within six to eight weeks. He encourages listeners not to get too hung up on the timeline and to focus on taking daily small actions to build on yesterday's results. The episode also features a motivational review from Halima and Maha, expressing their appreciation for the podcast.

  • 00:35:00 In this section, the speaker encourages listeners to share the podcast with others who may benefit from it. This simple act could potentially have a significant impact on someone's life. The speaker then thanks listeners for tuning in and encourages them to check out his book for ecommerce venture guidance. He also invites them to subscribe for more strategies and success stories, and asks for five-star reviews. The episode concludes with a promise of more insights in the next episode.
