This episode is a little different from the norm – it’s a LIVE reading (complete with some stumbles) of a few chapters from John Lamerton’s latest book on habits and routines – Routine Machine.

 

Why did John write a morning routine book?

Last August John was on holiday in sunny Corfu with his family, whilst there he started plotting out some notes, he did this with a view to writing a potential second book, a follow up to the successful Big Ideas… for Small Businesses.  

John famously said he was never writing again, he was NEVER doing a second book, but four or five pages of notes later it became apparent that he was in fact going to be writing a second book. This podcast takes a look at his new book, Routine Machine, which is available from the 11th July 2019. 

The power of routine, not just a morning routine but successful strategies and daily habits to make you more successful. It is written primarily for small business owners – if Big Ideas… for Small Businesses was about focus, doing the right thing, choosing the right thing to focus on, then Routine Machine is about doing the right thing consistently, every time, habitually….. ROUTINELY!

 

How many days does it take to form a habit?

John earned £13.51 in his first nine months in business.

 

Nine months later, he quit his job. Nine months after that, he was earning over £100k a year. 

 

Warren Buffett bought his first stock in 1941, he was a millionaire by 1960 and surpassed the $1 billion mark in 1986. 

 

$19 billion of his $86 billion-dollar fortune has been made in the last 2 years. 

 

It’s going to be a while before you see any feedback or results from any changes you make now.

 

When John replaced his go-to lunch of beans on toast with a healthy green juice, he saw absolutely no effect on the first day, or the second, or the third, but 30 days later he could see a difference. A year later and he looked like a different person. There is always a delay between the routine change and the feedback, that is perfectly normal and to be expected. 

 

John and Jason discuss why expecting instant rewards just doesn’t work.

 

There is always a delay between the action and the result. That concept can also work on a negative point too – one KFC now and then isn’t going to make a huge difference, but a KFC a few times a week might, and a KFC every day almost certainly will.

 

Routine Quotes from John

“Remember, you are the compound effect of every decision you have ever made and every action you have ever taken. The little habits and routines that on their own seem so small and insignificant, when rolled down the hill of time, yield massive snowballs”. 

‘If you want new results, you need new routines, but they’ve got to work for you. copying someone else just isn’t going to help in the slightest. The routine doesn’t matter what matters is that you have a routine’.  

“When I replaced my go to lunch of beans on toast with a healthy green juice, I saw absolutely no effect on the first day, or the second, or third. But 30 days later, I could see.a difference, a year later I looked like a different person. There is always a delay between the routine change and the feedback, that is perfectly normal and to be expected”.

 

Should I just copy the morning routines of successful people?

When John was just starting out in business, he used to read the profile of a successful business man or woman in the Sunday papers each week. 

 

The format was the same every week –  a day in the life of whoever.

 

Every week on just about every profile the day would start in a very similar way – get up at 5am, hit the gym, healthy breakfast, and be the first person in the office ready to GSD from 6am.

 

If you want new results, you need new routines, BUT they have to work for you. Copying someone else’s just isn’t going to help in the slightest. The routine doesn’t matter, what matters is that you have a routine. 

 

If you follow a routine that doesn’t work for you, you’re not going to stick to it. 

 

John attempted to copy someone else’s morning routine once. He got up at 5am, did some meditation, blended a super healthy smoothie and so on –  but all he actually achieved was “waking the entire house up, feeling absolutely shattered and being back in bed by 11am”. 

 

Trying to copy this morning routine with kids just didn’t work for him. 

 

John read those Sunday business profiles again, the endless accounts that all started the same – up at 5am, in the office by 6am and wondered if he was cut out for this. 

 

But then he discovered that Winston Churchill woke at 11am most days, and often didn’t even get out of bed, staying in bed writing. 

 

People think that because Sir Richard Branson gets up at 5.45am every morning, they need to do the same – “if I want a successful business like Sir Richard’s, the alarm needs to be set for 5.45am.” No it doesn’t, because everyone is wired differently – and there’s some science behind this.

 

At last – a morning routine for late risers?

John says – “The morning routine doesn’t matter, I’ve got my own routine, it’s personal to me and it works for me. You may well hate trying to copy my routine to your schedule and your life. Your routine doesn’t have to start at 7.24am or 6am.  You choose – ideally based on your circadian rhythm. The important thing is having a routine when you do wake up. ”

 

There are three types of people: 

• Early birds – The aforementioned “get up with the sun at 5am, and hit the gym” brigade.
• Inbetweeners – The bulk of the human race – rising between 7am and 9am. This is the group that John identifies himself as.
• Night owls – Rarely seen before midday, this group love to burn the midnight oil, but hate mornings. 

Lee, the sound technician for the ALB podcast is a night owl –  he does his best routine work from 7pm onwards, whilst for John its mid-morning and for Richard Branson its first thing.

 

Knowing the science begin the circadian rhythm, how can you have a one size fits all routine for everyone?

 

Its simple – you can’t. 

 

It’s all about playing to your strengths. 

 

The marginal gains theory

In this podcast, John tells us how Sir Dave Brailsford turned around the fortunes of British Cycling, Team GB, and won the Tour de France for Team Sky, using a method called “marginal gains”.

 

When Brailsford first took over at British Cycling, the team was regarded as a bit of a joke – a bunch of also-rans. They never won anything.

 

But within a year of becoming performance director, Team GB won four cycling medals at the Athens Olympics, including gold medals for Bradley Wiggens and Chris Hoy – Team GB’s best performance for 96 years.

 

The marginal gains theory was thus – to break down every component into it’s individual elements, to improve each element by 1%, and then put all the elements back together again. It turns out that 1% + 1% + 1% adds up to a whole lot more than 3% – each tiny gain builds on the last – and everything compounds.

 

Brailsford went hunting for marginal gains – improving the bikes, suits, helmets to make them more aerodynamic; personalising the mattress and pillow for each team member to improve their sleep; getting surgeons to train the mechanics on how to wash their hands (to reduce infections); and painting the floor of the truck pristine white to spot dust particles.

 

The marginal gains theory says that when you stitch these 1% gains back together again, they’ll add up to more than the sum of their parts.

 

What they’ve added up to so far (for British Cycling, at the time of this podcast) is six Tour de France wins in the last seven years, and 42 cycling medals in the last four Olympic games.

DON’T YOU WISH GROWING YOUR BUSINESS COULD BE LESS STRESSFUL?

Could you improve your business by just 1% this week? Note: I said “improve”, NOT “grow” your business – growth might not be what you need.

More customers, more leads, more staff, more stress might be the last thing you need.

You might actually need more profit. more margin. more leverage.

You might need more time, less stress, and a business that relies less on you as the “font of all knowledge and the god-like genius through which everything must flow”.

You might need a smaller team, fewer customers, and less products.

The One Percent Club won’t help you grow your business. It’ll help you IMPROVE it – 1% at a time. Baby steps. Steady, predictable improvement – towards the kind of business you wanted when you first started – one that delivers a fantastic lifestyle, and serves you rather than you serving it.
