Hey, I'm Craig Ballantyne. I went from broke, struggling, introverted, socially anxious personal

trainer to the coach of many multi-millionaire entrepreneurs. And I wrote the perfect week formula to help

you live your dream life and one of the passionate for you. This was one of the best interviews I've

ever done. And I told three stories that it's going to put goosebumps on your arms. Now, listen,

if you stay at the very end, Omar asked me about a formula that's going to help you build the

perfect week for your business and your life. I hope you enjoy. Hey, guys, welcome to this episode

of The Passionate View. Today we have round two with none other than the world's most disciplined

man and the author of many books that have helped entrepreneurs and people all over the world take their life and their business to the next level and he's launching his new book called The Perfect Week Formula, none other than my good friend Craig Ballantyne. Thanks so much for being on the show today, Craig. This is going to be a blast. It is, man. The first time we did this interview, we talked a lot about discipline, mindset, rituals, things that can really help people day to day. But now we've sort of expanded that scope and we're talking about the perfect week formula. So talk to me a little about why you wrote the book The Perfect Week formula and what you hope people really get out of the book. Well, when you write a book, people tell you what you did wrong. And so I wrote the perfect day formula. And of course,

like, hey, dummy, there's seven days in a week. There's so many questions. What do I do on the weekend?

What if I have three kids? What if I have four point one kids and two point seven dogs, right? And so from all

the reviews on Amazon, all the questions that came in, all the seminars and events that I did,

I heard every question. And so I started teaching this little idea of the perfect week formula,

how to, as I say, build your business around your life and not your life around your business.

At so many events, and I did the presentation 75 times, and I realized we've got everything

here.

And it was just something for CEOs to, you know, single moms with three kids.

Anybody can get something out of this to make more time for what matters, which is really what I'm super passionate about for everybody in life.

Dude, I love that.

And you started this journey of the perfect day formula,

which expanded to the perfect week by experimenting on yourself. Oh, absolutely. So I had severe anxiety

attacks back in 2006. I was waking up too late. I was already feeling anxious in the morning.

And I remember the day I was lying in bed in 2007. And I woke up at 7.30 a.m., which, you know, to somebody who loves the morning, that's already late.
