Developing your breakthroughs through who, what, where, and why sounds great, but when? When are you going to have time for all that?!

Once you stop fighting the clock, there's actually no better tool to support your breakthrough.

The breakthrough formula is a four‐quadrant schedule that overlays your day so you can have, perform, and achieve at breakthrough levels, all at the same time. It doesn't require you to change anything about your schedule. You become a perpetual breakthrough machine!

It doesn't require you to reschedule anything. The tools and perspective pivots you'll practice each quarter can be done while you commute, take meetings, spend time with your friends and family, and accomplish everything you need to get done. All it requires up front is a commitment to shifting your overarching focus four times over the course of each day.

If you change absolutely nothing about your daily life besides reframing it into these quarters, the process will organically create breakthroughs. It couldn't be simpler: take the rough number of waking hours in your day, and divide by four. If you get eight hours of sleep each night, your breakthrough day is sixteen hours long. Each of your quarters will be four hours long. Say you wake up at six and start Q1; your Q2 will start at ten, Q3 at two, Q4 at six. Rotate through this schedule, complete the assigned tools each quarter, and engage your subconscious mind with that quarter's question while you do everything you would normally do, and you'll have an amazing day—regardless of what's on your calendar. You'll create an environment where your “how” can reveal itself, and it will be something that you can actually follow through on, something that you will enjoy and be stimulated by. The search for your answers becomes powerful and exciting, not stressed and miserable.

SENSE is a great warm‐up for your breakthrough—if you use it.

This blueprint is exactly as effective as you make it. Reading the book will teach you how to think differently, but until you put the system into action, it won't have any impact on your breakthrough results.

Don't wait until you understand every word perfectly—practice is essential to getting even proficient. Don't even wait until you're finished the book. Start here; start now. There's no “someday” on the calendar. You're warmed up—so get out there and play. Today should be your breakthrough day!
