About This Course

Even If You’re an Artist Type, Struggle To Get Started, Are Naturally Disorganized , or Have a Habit of Falling Short

To have fun and enjoy life, or settle down and get a lot done?

What if you could do both?

Between the 3 of us, we have written and published 23 books, spoken to thousands of people, and created dozens of workshops and training courses.

And we did it all while enjoying the heck out of life...travelling to over 100 countries...and having lots of time to spend with friends and family.

Join me in this course and learn how myself, Björn Ühss, and Esther Jacobs have been able to accomplish an incredible amount all while travelling, 'living the life', and having a ton of fun.

You'll learn how you can get 25-200% more accomplished all while having more free time to spend with your family, your friends, and your self.

Whether you're an ultra-organized and always working type like Björn...

An energetic creative who hates organization type like Esther....

Or an over-anxious ADHD entrepreneur like myself...

You'll Be Learning From 3 Experts From 3 Different Countries, so...

There is something in this course for you and your unique personality!

"This era needs people who think outside the box, cross borders and create new opportunities. Esther Jacobs is such person." -Herman Wijffels (Dutch captain of industry)


Why You’re Learning From 3 Experts From 3 Different Countries…

I boarded a one-way cruise from the Canary Islands to Salvador, Brazil.

This cruise was rather unique, in that it had us spending 9 days on the open ocean, from the coast of Africa to the tip of Brazil. And as such, it attracted a rather unique group of passengers, including over 100 entrepreneurs, digital nomads, and writers who used Facebook to spontaneously organize the trip together...because a vacation is only as good as the people you spend it with.

On route, I met Björn, and then Esther.

About a week later and we found ourselves all staying at the same hotel in Brazil, a few steps away from one of the best urban beaches in the world.

And it was here, while eating acai ice cream, drinking coconut water, and sipping caipirinhas, that we discussed our struggles and successes around productivity.

And it was here where we realized something special...despite all of us being naturally wired to have some serious struggles with productivity...each of us had managed to achieve a tremendous amount of output and success...and on our own terms.

We were able to do all this while living life on our own terms, including living in multiple countries and travelling the world.

I'm Ready To Get Shit Done! Now, Let Me In!

"A new perspective on our way of working. Esther always inspires our teams with her innovative ideas, drive, and energy." -Capgemini Europe

"This is a fun course that also taught me not to overthink, to just get started and let the words flow and trust the process. Would highly recommend it especially if getting started/procrastinating holds you back." -Bren.Hamilton (reviewing Dan's productivity course for writers)

In this course you’ll learn how to Get Shit Done! Clear your mind, have more time and energy for fun, family and friends, AND have one of your most productive years ever.



Is This Course For You?

● Week after week, do you feel like your days don’t have enough hours?

● Have you been “working on” a new project, book, course, or business for what seems like forever and yet you still haven’t got it done?

â—Ź Do you get caught up in your day to day work and struggle to find the time to complete the things you really want to do?

â—Ź Have you tried all kinds of different techniques and organization systems to "get things done", but nothing has seemed to stick for more than a few months? Hint: These other systems you've tried were never designed for creative or entrepreneurial types...that's why we created this course!

● Do you always feel like you’re catching up, and if you do get things done, it’s always last minute?

â—Ź Are phone addiction, social media, notifications, and constant noise draining your energy, or even making you physically ill?

● Does it feel like you used to be better able to focus and concentrate…but these days it seems you just can’t focus enough to get shit done?

● You know you need to stay motivated and focused but you just can’t get yourself do it.

â—Ź Has your boss or clients lost faith in your ability to deliver...and is this putting your financial future at risk?

Do you ever wonder, if you keep doing what you’re doing, and things keep going how they’re going, what will your life, health, family life, or finances look in 5, 10, and 20 years?

â—Ź Do you put others and their needs first, so you have no time or energy left for your own plans and projects?

â—Ź Do you often feel like you wasted the whole day doing nothing

â—Ź Do you find it difficult to say NO, overcommit to others, and never take care of yourself and your projects?

What if you learned to be more efficient and effective, so you could have more free time for the people and things you love, while getting more done?

Perhaps you’re already financially successful, but you can’t seem to stop working and it’s taking a toll on your health or family life...

● You reached most of your business goals but you aren’t actually enjoying life...

● You’re always working, unable to disconnect, distancing yourself from friends and hurting your family life...

● Your work habits are creating anxiety and eroding your once bulletproof confidence…taking a toll on your mental and physical health.

You’ve worked really hard to accomplish your goals and, by all means, are now “successful”. Yet, you wonder, is this all there is? Perhaps you feel trapped by your success and your obligations, like you lack the freedom to do what you enjoy. If you ask me, this is bullshit. You worked your ass off to get where you are. Don't you deserve to enjoy life now?

I'm Ready To Get Shit Done! Now, Let Me In!

So that's a lot of bullet points! My overall point here is that there are two groups of people who will learn a lot from this course. If you have ambitions but are an underachiever, falling short of finishing books or launching projects, you'll gain a lot from this course that will help you actually get more accomplished.

Remember, accomplishment and productivity are not the same as being busy.

On the other hand, if you're pretty good and working 10 hour days and getting a lot done, building a financially successful life for yourself, but you feel overworked, under-appreciated, and stretched to your limits...well, then this course will be a breath of fresh air for you. Inside you'll find strategies...and permission...to take more time for yourself and add more joy back into your life...without necessarily sacrificing your success or finances.


Inside You’ll Discover:

â—Ź How to be productive and at the same time have balance and fun in your life!

● A new approach to taking action: Learn how you can take big risks without fear of failure, or feeling bad if things don’t work out.

â—Ź A bulletproof technique for beating procrastination.

● The weird psychological tricks that allowed Dan to publish 12 books and create 7 highly rated online courses in 2 years…all while living in multiple countries and travelling to 20 or so others.

● Bjorn’s methodology for validating your business or marketing idea quickly and getting started within weeks instead of months or years. Companies pay him handsomely for his consulting on this methodology.

● The mindset that allowed Esther to raise €16 million for charity, without an organization, network, or budget.

● Learn how to create the perfect “work” environment, unique for you, to maximize your productivity and happiness anywhere in the world.

â—Ź You will get a unique and diverse collection and toolbox of proven productivity hacks that have helped us make shit happen - pick the ones that work best for you!

So if you're tired of sloughing along in life, always feeling busy or stressed, but never really getting the important things done...I'd like to ask you to join us inside for a chance to finally change things and to start Getting Shit Done!

  • Get more done

  • Be productive and at the same time have balance and fun in your life!

  • Take big risks without fear of failure or feeling bad if things don’t work out

Some good tips included but it seemed a little unfocused. Just random tips, I guess.

This course had some really solid, actionable, and helpful tips for being more productive when you don't have a boss standing over your shoulder. I tried out the timer method in the midst of going through this course, and it will definitely become a go-to strategy of mine.
The fun, creative videos and variety of speakers added some unique value to the course, but I would have appreciated some exclusive downloadable content or something--more to make the course feel meatier. Also, I had trouble hearing a few of the recordings. But all in all, this was a helpful, easy-to-get-through course, and I'll definitely be revisiting the information in it.

Fantastic and Inspiring!

What a great course on productivity! It has lots of useful tips and information that are worth adopting into any kind of productivity system that you're using. I really liked how the instructors delivered the valuable info in a clear and energizing (I hope that's a word) way! It really helped keep my, normally, fragile attention. I'm going to try to use as many of the things I've learned in this course as I can! Doing so will, definitely, make a beast (in a genuinely good way)!
I highly recommend this course to anyone who is looking for great ways to be productive!

Thank you so much Dan, Esther and Björn for this amazing course!! I wish you all the best!!

While this course won't teach you how to be a copywriter or run a copywriting business (Dan Johnston has other courses for that), he and the other two instructors will give you tips, tools and techniques on how to manage your time to get work done while freelancing abroad. The lessons are shot on location in Salvador da Bahia in tropical northeastern Brazil.

Another reviewer had an issue with the profanity; having gone through the entire course myself, that's kept to a minimum.

Having taken other courses from Dan Johnston, he is very good about getting back to students and answering their questions in a timely manner.

His other course, 'Become a Digital Nomad', is excellent for how to move to another country and get your business started and running with the 5 Ms; IMHO this course is a continuation of 'Become a Digital Nomad' and shows you ways of being productive while freelancing abroad and being location independent.

Thanks a lot for this great course! I can totally find myself in the introductory description of a busy person in search for tricks and hacks to better focus on getting projects done (while having fun). This course gave me a lot a of new input and actionable tips from 3 experts with different backgrounds and experiences.

The little imperfections in the video-taping and the changes in scenery create an relaxed atmosphere for learning and support the authentic way of telling those little stories.

I really liked the part about black and white, the tips for blocking out distractions and chopping big projects in bite-sized-pieces (you can call them frogs). My only critic is that I want more of this!

It's a very easy and pleasant course to go through. The videos have the right length and are straight to the point. I like the DIY style and the scenery. It makes it very natural and you can easily relate to the 3 experts. The tips are all very helpful. For me it was especially useful to see how to eliminate distractions and deal with big projects.
