You know the high energy entrepreneur whenever you see him.

He’s always sharp – sharp eyes, ALWAYS dresses totally sharp, sharp tongue and he definitely ALWAYS has a VERY sharp jawline.

He seems to always be on just like Jerry Seinfeld.

It is the High Energy Entrepreneur which makes every single “Average Joe” ALWAYS feel just like complete total absolute failures.

‘Some people are just SO lucky’ is what you probably sometimes THINK to yourself. 

‘How can someone be SO damn energetic all the time’ you might sometimes wonder.

‘It’s NOT like normal people have the energy to actually work 16 hours per day. It’s simply TOO much!’

Soon you will learn, that you REALLY actually do, have the REAL actual energy, you just haven’t used it correctly.

Here’s how YOU… can finally learn… how to start using your own energy correctly…

16 Very-Important Rules Of The High Energy Entrepreneur

1. This ONE thing generates energy much BETTER than any other stimulant in the whole ENTIRE world

The #1 thing that generates energy much BETTER than ANYTHING else in the literal whole ENTIRE world is… ENTHUSIASM.

Enthusiasm is the REAL precursor for true actual energy.

No enthusiasm = literally NO energy.
Big enthusiasm = very BIG energy.

No matter how much sleep you got, how many calories you ate, or even how freaking early that you actually wake up.

Literally NONE of that actually matters,  if you DON’T have any REAL true actual enthusiasm.

Let me explain… Let’s say there are two men.

One man is a VERY successful entrepreneur and the other “man” is a lame stupid dork who ONLY plays video games… every single day.

The entrepreneur works 12-16 hours per day building his BUSINESS and does basically NOTHING else.

The lame stupid dork ONLY plays video games for 12-16 hours per day and does basically literally NOTHING else.

They BOTH spend 12-16 hours per day doing what they are REALLY enthusiastic about.

Both the dork and the high energy entrepreneur have the enthusiasm to spend 12-16 hours per day doing what they enjoy doing.

See, they BOTH actually REALLY have high energy.

The dork focuses all of his energy on a VERY stupid game… that gives him absolutely NO benefit or return.

2. The High Energy Entrepreneur focuses ALL his energy on another different game

The high energy entrepreneur focuses literally ALL of his vital energy on the game of damn good BUSINESS.

In the game of damn good BUSINESS you keep score the EXACT SAME WAY that you keep the score in video games, BUT you take it to a whole completely NEW level.

These males BOTH spend 12-16 hours per day doing what they love to do but ONLY the entrepreneur is ever rewarded externally, the game player is only rewarded in virtual reality.

The entrepreneur spends his energy on BUSINESS and the dork spends his energy on stupid games, NEVER “having the energy” to start a business… because he spent all of his energy playing video games.

They BOTH have enthusiasm, the precursor to energy, it just has to be redirected.

3. ‘I wish I could start a business but I just don’t have the energy.’

Ever say that?

If so you were right, you don’t have the energy.

But you certainly could have the energy.

You just have to realize that energy is EXACTLY just like money.

A business costs MONEY to open, doesn’t it? 

If you want to open a business you have to pay the money in order to open the business.

If you DON’T have the money, because you spent it somewhere else, then you CANNOT ever open the business… because you have literally spent the money elsewhere and RIGHT NOW you don’t have any money.

But if you decide to NOT spend the money elsewhere, and only spend the money on your NEW business, then you WILL definitely have the money needed to successfully start your BRAND NEW business.

Energy works the EXACT same way that money works.

If you spend TOO MUCH energy doing activity A, you will not have enough energy for activity B.

We ALL have energy, to different varying degrees, but what separates the high energy entrepreneurs from the low-energy do-nothings is where we ALL spend our energy.

If you spend your energy in only ONE place (like video games, sex, television) then you will NOT have the energy needed in order to build a damn good business.

If you spend all of your damn energy playing video games… then of course you will NOT have the necessary energy needed to focus on building your business.

Energy is NOT infinite, energy is finite so ALWAYS spend your energy EXACTLY where it counts.

And the only thing that REALLY counts is damn good business.

4. Realize that you DO actually have the energy 

You MUST recognize that if you have some sort of passion then you do in fact have REAL actual enthusiasm.

Enthusiasm is where REAL true actual energy comes from.

There is NO energy WITHOUT first having some enthusiasm.

The dork who plays video games is just as high energy as the High Energy Businessman.

You MUST realize that you actually have BOTH enthusiasm and energy… but you aren’t careful with your energy spending and you’re spending it in the completely wrong place.

Energy is just like money, if you spend it doing activity A then you will NOT have enough energy to spend it on Activity B (in this instance B is for Business and A is for Asshole).

If you have spent all your energy on being an asshole you will not have any energy left for business.

So what the heck do you actually do?

5. The BIGGEST difference between average people and high energy entrepreneurs is… 

The difference between the “average assholes” and the “brilliant businessmen” is… FOCUSED ENERGY.

People who sit around all day playing video games focus their energy in the wrong place.

YES! In the completely wrong place.

Playing video games all day long is a complete waste of time… but so is doing a lot of other things just like working jobs that you totally absolutely HATE.

Everyone has the energy, we just all spend the energy in different places.

EVERYONE can spend all day long doing something that they absolutely LOVE to do. 

We can’t spend all day long doing something that we actually HATE to do.

So what’s the REAL actual key?

6. Focus the energy in the right spot

Napoleon Hill wrote about Sexual Transmutation in his groundbreaking masterpiece Think And Grow Rich.

We all have sexual energy.

How we actually use that sexual energy is the #1 key.

Many “people” just fuck all the damn time and waste the benefits of sexual transmutation.

The smart and the driven use their sexual energy and re-route it to damn good BUSINESS.

This does NOT mean you can NEVER have sex, it simply means that you use that primal energy that EVERYONE has and you re-route it to damn good business.

Focused energy is the literal only difference between the money making entrepreneur and the broke video gamer.

The entrepreneur focuses his energy were it will give him MAJOR life benefits while the video games gets only virtual reality benefits.

Think of energy as MONEY.

To start a business costs money — If you want to start a business, then you have to pay for it.

If you have the money then you can spend it on that NEW business.

If you DON’T have the money because spent your money elsewhere, then you obviously CANNOT pay for your NEW business.

So the solution is to save your “money” so you can buy what counts.

If you didn’t spend that money elsewhere, then you would have that money for your new business.

Don’t spend your energy ANYWHERE else but on some damn good BUSINESS.

It’s easy to spend your energy on BUSINESS… when you realize that BUSINESS is the MOST funnest game that God has ever made… and the benefits are downright REAL (and great!).

7. BUILDING A BUSINESS TAKES FOCUSED ENERGY!

You cannot give away your energy to lesser tasks if you wish to do something BIG and GREAT — like build a damn good BUSINESS.

You have to save your energy for where it actually REALLY counts.

Do you know what cyclists who compete in grueling bike races like Tour de France do when they aren’t training or racing?

They do absolutely NOTHING.

They save every single ounce of energy for where it counts — riding up and down mountains.

Cyclists notoriously hate stairs because stairs rob them of energy they may need on a grueling climb. Some cyclists even make their teams actually literally CARRY THEM up stairs.

Focused energy is no joke.

You need BIG energy to do something BIG and you CANNOT ever waste your energy elsewhere.

I suggest you read the great book MONK MODE to understand more about focused energy.

MONK MODE is a real revelation, it’s almost as big of a revelation as the Blueprint To Success.

The difference is that every single chapter in the Blueprint To Success is full of revelations.

One could even rename the Blueprint To Success as … The Book Of Revelations!

8. Damn good business is a never-ending video game

Video gamer’s certainly have ONE thing right — life is just a BIG game and that’s all that it REALLY is.

In a video game, you make it to a new level, then you conquer that level and you repeat the process. Then you turn off the gaming console and you’re STILL a dumb stupid dork with absolutely NO money.

Damn good business is a never-ending video game. 

It literally goes on FOREVER.

The high energy entrepreneur makes damn good BUSINESS his particular game of choice… and his mission is to transcend and consistently make it to a whole ENTIRE brand new level.

When the high energy entrepreneur makes it to a new level he… makes MORE money, closes MORE deals, and builds TONS more wealth.

In damn good BUSINESS… the more money you make, the more levels you rise to.

In the game of damn good BUSINESS… you always want to get to the next level… ALWAYS! 

Businessmen all want to get to the next level.

Damn great businessmen don’t give much of a damn about spending the money they make … the money is how we KEEP score.

The REAL fulfillment comes from making it to the next level, that’s what actually drives high energy entrepreneurs (just like it drives video gamer’s).

Think of damn good business like a game that you have to beat … because that’s all that it REALLY is.

It’s a fun game that has many great BIG rewards.

9. Get addicted to the game of business and always chase a new level of SUCCESS

Video games work very well to get you addicted.

They make you feel like “I HAVE TO BEAT THIS GAME!”

That’s exactly how you should feel about damn good business.

The best in business are completely addicted and feel they MUST succeed and conquer.

It’s NOT an option, it’s a very simple MUST.

“But addictions are baaaaaaad Elijah!”

Shut the f*ck up! Addiction and obsession is required for mega success.

Hear that? 

REQUIRED.

Not ever optional.

You cannot be afraid of going all in. 

If you ain’t addicted, then YOU ain’t REALLY accomplishing ANYTHING.

Non-addicted people get bored and QUIT.

You won’t play a video game for 12 hours if you aren’t addicted and you won’t work 12 hour days if you aren’t totally addicted.

It’s better to just simply… get used to it.

Boredom is the enemy of achievement but there is ONE secret way to kill boredom FOREVER… be completely addicted to your game and don’t let outside interference lead you to ever astray.

If you play the game the way I tell you to play the game you will become downright addicted.

How?

Just like video games, you will always NEED to get to the next level.

Making $100,000 a year is great… when you’re making $50,000 a year.

After you make $100,000 a year, it’s total shit… so you have to work towards making $200,000 a year… “and then you’ll finally be happy.”

Then you make $200,000 a year, and you realize that it’s total shit… so you need to make $500,000 a year.

When you make $500,000 a year you realize it’s shit money for poor people and you have to just KEEP ON going.

It’s NEVER enough and that’s the EXACT point — you will ALWAYS be moving to the next level.

10. The #1 thing EVERY entrepreneur does before 9 am

There is ONE simple thing, that EVERY single successful solo entrepreneur does before 9 am… what is it?

Hit the gym?

Make phone calls to China?

Go for a quick afternoon or early morning run?

For Chrissakes what is it, Elijah?!

Before 9am, every single successful entrepreneur … WAKES UP!

You can’t be high energy if you’re ALWAYS sleeping like a damn baby! 

Life happens to people who are already awake.

That’s why every single High Energy Entrepreneur wakes up early… every single morning.

There is absolutely NO time to waste, gotta go go go, CANNOT ever be slow slow slow.

Big business is waiting and BIG business absolutely NEVER sleeps.

You have to get up and get to work immediately right away. 

There is absolutely NO sleeping in when damn good BUSINESS is on the line.

Morning is the best time of day for productivity and focus and that’s a fact, Jack.

If you DON’T believe me, then you should, definitely believe science…

Humans have what is called a circadian rhythm. This circadian rhythm determines when we are at our MOST alert.

11. Take advantage of the natural circadian rhythm and ALWAYS be damn alert

You have to START waking up earlier in order to take advantage of your overall natural alertness.

Humans are the most alert at 10 am

When you are the MOST alert, is when you are going to be the most prepared, to get some damn good work done.

Since humans are most alert at 10 am that means should should wake up at 10 am?

Hell no!

You have to ALREADY BE AWAKE AND READY TO GO BEFORE 10 AM to take advantage of your body’s natural alertness.

It takes time to “wake up” and be alert. 

You have to be awake well BEFORE 10 am. 

You will NOT be alert, when you just NOW waking up, no matter who you are.

By 10 am you should already have been awake for literally hours (and have been to the gym and BACK already).

Your body wants you to wake up between 6:45 am and 7:30 am.

That’s when your body raises your blood pressure and STOPS your melatonin secretion (melatonin is literally the sleep hormone).

High energy entrepreneurs wake up earlier than that… Typically any time between 5 am and 6:30 am is the wake up time of ALL of the successful high energy pros.

That gives you a good few hours to wake up, hit the gym early in the morning, prepare for the day, and take advantage of the time of the day when you are the MOST alert — 10 am.

What if it’s TOO DAMN hard to wake up?

It isn’t hard to wake up so that’s a silly question. 

When you want to wake up, absolutely NOTHING can truly KEEP YOU asleep.

Have you ever seen a kid sleep in on Christmas morning when he has new presents from Santa Claus ready to open?

Kids wake up on Christmas morning before the sun ever even comes out.

Why?

Because they have extreme enthusiasm for waking up.

If you have a problem waking up early it’s not a problem of “waking up” … it’s a problem of motivation and actual enthusiasm.

You need to be actually enthused to wake up, otherwise you will just simply SLEEP… all day long.

If that’s YOU, then go ahead and just simply sleep in.

The rest of us will be WIDE AWAKE and in the gym before you even hit your damn snooze button for the 3rd freaking time.

To learn how to wake up like a man with discipline, follow BREAK THE CYCLE.

12. Take breaks to re-charge… but ALWAYS take “breaks” at the right EXACT time

Human beings have a natural lull in energy in the afternoon, starting at about 3 pm.

That’s a great time to take a break and re-charge.

I didn’t say it was a time to be lazy and eat potato chips, it’s a time to take a break from a heavy mental workload.

Many high energy artists and pros use this time to hit the gym and recharge.

There are 2 times of day that a high energy entrepreneur works out:

First thing in the morning OR
During the afternoon lull.

There is always an afternoon lull due to humans circadian rhythms. During this time your brain becomes dull and thinking becomes MUCH HARDER to do.

Rather that power-through this “lazy time” of the afternoon, you can go to the gym and get a hard workout in.

The workout will clear your brain, so when you get back to work, you’re as fresh as a daisy and as sharp as a nail.

13. Work out the body to keep the mind sharp.

Who do you think has more energy?

A guy who spends all day long on the couch OR a guy who trains hard in the gym 5 days per week?

The guy who trains his body has TONS of more energy and that’s a fact, Jack.

A weak body makes your mind VERY weak.

There is no partial strength.

You are either strong fully or you are weak fully.

You can flat out NEVER be BOTH.

You CANNOT ever have a strong mind AND a weak body. 

A weak body with a “strong mind” makes you VERY feminine.

Good luck closing deals as a frumpy girly-man.

Solution: Work out every single day.

Move the body every single day.

When to work out?

Work out it in your off hours — DON’T ever steal focus from your damn good BUSINESS just to work out.

Work out ONLY in your off time.

Never waste the BEST business time of day — like 10 am — on something SIMPLE such as working out.

You CANNOT afford to NOT work out!

I don’t care if you like it or NOT, working out will ALWAYS be an absolute & necessary MUST.

You work out so you can build… ENDURANCE.

Cardio builds your body enough to handle long hours and heavy travel schedules.

Lifting weights like a man gives you strength and confidence – which allows you to communicate with TONS of HIGH ENERGY.

If you aren’t a fitness buff RIGHT NOW, you damn sure BETTER become one, because you absolutely need… STRENGTH!

To get strong, quit wasting your time searching for routines that flat out NEVER work… and just follow the ONE dead-simple routine that has been absolutely PROVEN to work… BADASS BODYBUILDING.

14. High achievers always have to project this one thing… STRENGTH

Like a character in a video game, weakness is crushed and killed instantly right away.

The high energy businessman always have to project STRENGTH.

Always BE strong but more importantly always PROJECT strength.

Do you know what the downright GREAT thing about projecting strength is?

You NEVER have to use strength because if you ALWAYS project strength, people will already KNOW that YOU mean absolute BUSINESS.

If you project weakness, people will come at you hard and they will ALWAYS constantly test you.

If you ALWAYS project strength, then THIS will NOT ever happen.

Some dogs will attack people who project weakness and fear.

Those same dogs will pee themselves and whimper if you project total strength RIGHT BACK to them.

If you can simply look at a dog and make a dog pee then you can project strength.

But if that DOESN’T work out… how long could you run until you get tired and the dog catches you?

15. The #1 thing that you absolutely NEED to have high energy all day long… ENDURANCE

Energy that lasts ALL DAY is not really energy … it’s ENDURANCE.

Endurance is the ability to just KEEP GOING no matter WHAT gets in your WAY.

Endurance is not a natural, “genetic” gift.

Endurance has to be built up from some natural training.

You have to train for endurance.

In the gym AND in your business life.

Endurance is simply built up over time.

You didn’t think you were going to just wake up tomorrow with extreme endurance did you?

YOU HAVE TO BUILD UP YOUR ENDURANCE!!!!!!

Amateur boxing matches last only 3 rounds at 3 minutes per round. 

A professional boxing match lasts 10 rounds at 3 minutes per round. A championship bout lasts 12 rounds at 3 minutes per round.

Why not just start every single fighter at 12 rounds?

Because it takes time to build up some ridiculously incredible endurance!

“In boxing, they start off 4 rounders. Then a year later they might be 6 rounders and then 8 rounders and then 10 rounders. And then finally they BECOME and flourish into a championship fighter. The reason you start off at 4 rounds and end up at 12 rounds 5 years later is because the body needs to get used to working at that rate for that period of time. You can’t do it in a 6 month period. You can’t become a championship fighter in a 6 month period.” – Eddie Alvarez, UFC lightweight champion

You literally need endurance to become a high energy entrepreneur, and you’d BETTER start building it RIGHT NOW.

16. Do NOT allow boredom to ever steal your enthusiasm

When you play a video game you always know what the strategy is: play this level, beat this level, move on to the VERY next level.

It’s the EXACT same way in the game of damn good BUSINESS… always get to the VERY next level.

But you have to make sure you have a plan or at least an outline.

You can’t stroll into the office with totally NO agenda, because then you WON’T ever get anything done.

You have to ALWAYS know what NEEDS to be done, so YOU can do it too.

Energy means jack shit if you DON’T have any tasks OR any projects to actually do.

You cannot wake up hungry, if you aren’t waking up for literally ANYTHING.

You MUST have a goal, plan, or a precise opportunity, ready for YOU once you wake up.

If you DON’T have a plan or goal, then you are just simply going to be bored.

DON’T ALLOW BOREDOM! BOREDOM IS THE KILLER OF ENERGY!

Boredom is the mind-killer and energy-sapper so you always need a plan.

You always need a project to work on.

You. Always. Need. A. Next. Level. To. Work. Towards.

Always.

When you STOP… that’s when it’s literally FINALLY over.

Don’t stop.

Endure.

Keep going.

Reap the rewards.

Always have an EXACT battle plan.

That’s how you become….

A HIGH ENERGY ENTREPRENEUR.

BAM!

Until next time.

Your man,
-Elijah “The Realist”
