The Systems and Mindset That 10x Your Productivity with Barry Cryan, Founder of Do More Better | Ep 257

🎙I loved chatting with fellow systems and productivity coach Barry Cryan. When two industry experts independently come up with similar strategies to help people, you can be sure that they work in practice. Barry, who is the CEO and founder of Do More Better, shares his best insights.

Today, you will learn how to get more done without relying on quick-fix hacks that don´t take you far. Barry explains how real mindset shifts build the skills you need to achieve momentum and sustain it, regardless of the type of business you run.

Don’t miss his closing takeaway - it’s one of the best I’ve heard and something I stand by 100%.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

💡 Clarify Success and Work Backwards: Get specific about what you want—then reverse engineer the steps and systems to make it real.

💡 Use Systems to Beat Overwhelm: Don’t rely on willpower. Offload mental clutter and decision fatigue into trustworthy routines and external “second brains.”

💡Filter the Noise and Empower Others: When you stop being constantly available and put systems in place, your team or clients learn to solve more for themselves—fostering their growth while winning back your own time. Filter the noise from your life.

💡 Don’t Wait: Lasting success comes from acting like your 10.0 version today. Empower yourself and those around you to thrive, right now.
