Let’s Be Honest…
Most people don’t have workdays.
They have reaction days.
They wake up. Open their phone. Check messages. Scroll.
Then they get “busy.” Emails. Slack. To-do lists. Random ideas. More scrolling.
And by 6 PM? Nothing actually moved the needle.
No new income.
No new leverage.
No closer to freedom.
Meanwhile, the top 1% of online entrepreneurs are doing the exact opposite.
They have what I call the $10K Workday.
Not because they “grind” for 14 hours.
But because they’ve structured their time like a damn surgeon.
Focused. Precise. Ruthless with distractions.
And paid very well for their effort.
Let’s break it down.
What Is a $10K Workday?
A $10K Workday isn’t about literally earning ten grand in a day (though you can).
It’s about doing work that could lead to $10K+ returns over time.
Think of it as strategic leverage:
One video → brings leads for years
One funnel → prints money while you sleep
One hire → frees 20 hours a week
One product → becomes a six-figure cash cow
A $10K day is defined by what you build, not what you check off.
Let’s talk about how to actually set this up in your daily routine.
Step 1: Ruthlessly Eliminate Anything That Doesn’t Pay
Here’s the brutal truth:
Most of what you’re doing right now? It’s not worth your time.
- Checking email all morning? That’s admin work.
- Replying to every comment? That’s ego work.
- Making your Notion dashboard prettier? That’s fake productivity.
None of that builds equity or moves money.
A $10K Workday starts by cutting the fluff.
Here’s what I tell my private clients:
“If the task doesn’t directly lead to traffic, trust, or transactions — delete it.”
You need to become a mercenary for ROI.
Ask:
- Is this task helping me make money or build leverage?
- Can someone else do this?
- What would I earn if I focused on something better?
If it’s not income-producing or system-building, it goes.
Step 2: The Golden Hours Strategy (Use Your Mind When It’s Fresh)
The biggest mistake broke creators make?
They waste their best energy on junk.
You have a 2–4 hour window every day where your brain is at its peak.
That’s when you’re most creative, clear, and strategic.
For most people, it’s 8 AM to 12 PM.
That’s when you should do your $10K Work.
This includes:
- Writing copy that sells
- Building high-leverage content
- Creating new offers
- Optimizing funnels
- Training your team
- Solving strategic problems
If you use that time to answer emails or tweak Canva graphics…
You’re literally lighting your best potential on fire.
Use your Golden Hours to build money machines. Period.
Step 3: The 3-Part Daily Structure
Here’s a simple, repeatable daily structure for $10K workdays.
1. Creation (Morning)
Use your high-energy window to:
- Build content that attracts buyers
- Write sales pages, scripts, or VSLs
- Record videos that scale your message
- Map out new offers, systems, or lead magnets
Goal: Ship something that makes money.
2. Optimization (Afternoon)
Now shift from creating to improving:
- Review analytics
- Tweak offers or funnels
- Automate a piece of your system
- Batch schedule posts
- Optimize your website
Goal: Make what you already have more profitable or automated.
3. Communication (Late Afternoon)
Now you can respond to:
- DMs
- Comments
- Emails
- Team check-ins
Goal: Keep momentum without letting communication eat your brainpower.
Pro Tip: Use tools like Loom or voice notes. Don’t type when you can talk.
habits that drive consistent high-leverage performance
Step 4: Use the “$1,000 Per Hour Filter”
Whenever you’re stuck between tasks or wondering what to do next, ask:
“Would I pay someone $1,000/hour to do this?”
If the answer is no, then YOU shouldn’t be doing it either.
You should be focused on:
- Building systems
- Creating scalable assets
- Designing offers
- Generating traffic or sales
This filter saves you from busywork and keeps you in CEO mode.
Step 5: Make ONE Offer a Priority
You can’t build a $10K Workday by juggling 10 different ideas.
You need ONE clear offer that you focus on scaling.
Here’s how the rich do it:
- Build one irresistible offer
- Create one high-converting sales system for it
- Drive consistent traffic to that system
- Optimize, tweak, and scale
Most people have 17 half-finished projects.
That’s why their “workday” is all over the place.
Pick your cash cow and ride it hard.
Step 6: Use the “Revenue Task List” (Not a To-Do List)
Your to-do list is killing your income.
Instead of tracking tasks, track revenue-producing actions.
Examples:
- Write 1 thread that drives to your offer
- Record 1 short that links to your funnel
- Pitch 3 people in your DMs
- Optimize your checkout page
- Email your audience with a CTA
Every day should have 3–5 money moves.
No more. No less.
That’s how real business grows.
Step 7: Build Feedback Loops
Most creators operate in the dark.
They post, build, and launch without knowing what’s actually working.
$10K Workdays come from feedback:
- Check conversion rates daily
- Ask leads what confused them
- See where traffic drops off
- A/B test your headlines, CTAs, and angles
This lets you iterate with precision.
Feedback is fuel.
If you’re not measuring, you’re guessing. And guessing is expensive.
Create a “Results Dashboard”
This is simple but powerful.
Track just a few numbers:
- Sales made
- Leads captured
- Content published
- Time spent on $10K tasks
Why?
Because what gets measured gets improved.
And when you start seeing daily proof that your focused work = money…
You’ll double down.
You’ll work smarter.
And the game will change forever.
Work Like You’re Worth $10K a Day
Let me leave you with this:
You don’t get paid based on how hard you work.
You get paid based on how smart your work is positioned and structured.
The world’s top earners don’t have more hours.
They just use their hours differently.
So here’s your blueprint:
✅ Eliminate low-ROI tasks
✅ Use your brain during your Golden Hours
✅ Focus on one offer
✅ Make revenue moves daily
✅ Build systems that pay you back
That’s how you build a $10K Workday.
And once you do it once, you can do it again.
Over and over.
With less effort.
And a lot more freedom.
