Late night, just got back from the grocery store, heading home, and I want to tell you about something cool that I think I’m doing that I want to recommend to you guys to do, I think. [laughs] I’m pretty sure I am. I’m kind of stressing out about it right now, but I think that after I get through the withdrawal symptoms, this process is going to be awesome. As some of you guys know, we just had our book launch, Click Funnels launch, a baby, we have our live event coming up. We just moved offices, and we’re about to move our house. All this change, and all these things, and it’s been insane keeping up with everything. On top of that, we have all the normal things that we have to do, right? And for me, as some of you guys know through our coaching program, I give our higher-end clients access to me through Vox, so I get Voxers all the time. There’s just all these things that are pressing on me, and it’s like it’s getting to the point where it’s hard to bear, all of it, and so I’ve been trying to think, “How do I structure things differently so that I can get out from under this pressure?” I remember Dan Gable, who, those of you guys who know wrestling, he’s like the Michael Jordan of wrestling. One time someone asked him about pressure, “How do you deal with all this pressure that’s on your life?”, or they asked him if he believed in pressure, and he said, “Well I believe in it. It’s there. I just don’t choose to put myself underneath it.” I was thinking about that. I feel like I’ve been putting myself under enormous pressure, [laughs] and I have this horrible problem where I just say “Yes” to everything. I want to do all these things, because it’s completely exciting to me. So I’ve been trying to weave things out and trying to simplify my life and everything. Anyway, over the last 24 hours or so, I’ve made some big jumps, like some crazy huge leaps, and I want to walk you through them, because again, I’m in the withdrawal process right now, and it’s stressing me out, but I think it’s going to be really good, long term. First off, the first step was email. I had to get control of my email. I have had the same email address for like 12 years. Everyone in the world has it. I’m on a million newsletters, a million different things, and right now, on average, I was trying to measure between that. I use a service called Sane Box, which takes all your junk and tries to filter it out and get rid of it before it gets to your inbox. But even with that, I get over a thousand emails a day hit my inbox, and between that and Sane Box, it’s about 3,500 emails a day. It’s insane. I don’t even know how…if you ever emailed me and I didn’t write back, that’s probably why I didn’t. It just gets so overwhelming, and every time I walk in, I’m just sick to my stomach. I don’t even know what to do, and it just never goes away. It just keeps growing and growing and growing.[laughs] I’ve been so scared to not have it, like, “What happens if I miss an email? What if I don’t see something?”, and so because I’m checking my phone a million times a day because email’s c
