[@grasshopperweb]

"I know what I need to do to make more money, and I just need to do that." Absolute gold I've only just begun to understand recently. Not only does it prevent nonsense meetings and nonsense projects in the name of humoring someone, it also makes me consume less learning material online once I've got my game plan in place.

[@StevenLutz]

I've never heard such a solid understanding of how makers need to work and how scheduling is tricky. Especially being customer facing and a maker in a small business.

[@Happydale-ds5yp]

I spent the first 7 years of my business as a manager but I'm a maker. I have 1 day a week in store now. My productivity has skyrocketed in the last 6 months since realising I am a maker, I need time. I have two other 'makers' and two 'managers' in my main staff. Only recently started using the managers to take over my responsibilities so I could make and builds my business relationships more. With over 120 suppliers and 2000 customers a month as well as seven staff, I couldn't breath anymore. Now I'm productive as fvck, happy as fvck and still do 12 to 15 hours a day quite happily but it's mostly maker time now. ❤🎉

This is just gold. As a head teacher I fought for this without knowing these terms. My goal was to put all the meeting on one day and let the team do their job uninterrupted for the rest of the week. Unfortunately, our VP thought that the moment she stops looking over someone's shoulder they stop working.

Hey @alex I have to say this is one of the best pieces of content you’ve ever produced. I know it seems so simple but I never realized that I am a maker and my wife is a manager. I’ve always told her when she calls me while I’m in makers mode and has a random discussion about the kids or something. That’s not very important that destroys my day or at least the next hour of my day to get focused. this goes so much farther than business but also in relationships. Thank you so much for this. It’s been a great share from my wife and my other team members. 🎉😊

Alex you’ve spoken about “knowing how to work” in your short form content and how you know how to work better now than you did when you started. it’d be dope to get a youtube video on that.

Manager vs Maker vs Organization time… Ouuu!!! So good! I’ll apply this right away & upgrade my schedule. I love the tips on how to respectfully accept meetings when I’m not feeling like making/creating and to decline meeting invites when I’m in my creative beast mode. I’ll also use the “can we not have this meeting again” or “can someone else be in this meeting” or “what process can we have in place so don’t have this meeting again”. Thanks Alex!

1. Understand maker manager modes 2. Have quiet, empty calendar days for maker mode 3. Try to crank up on non-maker stuff when on manager mode(aka attending meetings) 4. Stick to deadlines and complete the work when on maker mode to build trust of managers 5. When you have less means, work the job you go to make money and work extra shifts to get out of the job you are in 6. You cant have absolute freedom and control while being a entrepreneur, either one of it will get sacrificed Thank you, Alex for this video!

My kids taught me this.. I have to prioritize “mom schedule” as an entrepreneur/single mom. It is always intense compartmentalizing of my time and learning when my productivity serves the bigger picture and when the bigger picture serves my productivity. The balance doesn’t just happen but the feedback if I dropped the ball would set off a chain reaction that I learned I couldn’t afford. Knowing oneself and applying consistant self disciplined pays in dividends ❤

[@brokie2bugatti]

I literally left a quarter million a year job few days ago over this exact thing. I tried explaining to them that talking about my work 6 hours a week was preventing me from working on the work that you want to talk about. I explained to him that you're sacrificing me accomplishing my work so that you can feel productive each day. Yet your increased productivity isn't accomplishing anything but is having the exact opposite effect. After months of having to work my off days just to be the only one in the building so that I could accomplish my tasks without interruption. After awhile I became increasingly frustrated and had enough because to me it was so obvious but the way you explain everything it just seems like it's a blind spot for them.

Fantastic video, I saw a TikTok on this same concept a year ago. From a more foundational maker’s perspective. You’re not lazy you’re a maker to do big things someone coming into your space and “unsequestering” you for any reason can ruin your whole day/week. You gotta feel the verve or stay disciplined enough to make. A lot of things can happen to stop that, and that can happen for YEARS, you either have to be consciously/subconsciously aware of this and preemptively prepare for it, or avoid it entirely. BEWARE

Thank you for these videos. In the aviation world there's a thing called the FOD Walk. We used to have almost every member of the whole company line up and walk the tarmac 3 times a week. It would take maybe 30 minutes from start to finish at the very beginning of the day. I ran the numbers and realized it cost us about $8,000 (in billed time) to do this 3 times a week. I was walking next to the CEO one day and mentioned it. He said, "It's worth the cost to get us all together and we can talk outside of the office about things that matter more than the office." P.S. We eventually hired an outside contractor for about $2,000 per week that reduced our 3x per week to 1x per week.
