Being More Intentional to Make Real Progress in Less Time With Less Struggle and More Fun!
David Meltzer walks through his five levels of intention (do, say, think, believe, feel) and five daily practices for coherence and prioritization. Best for LOs who feel they're doing the right things but not seeing results, and want a mindset/productivity framework to apply to their business.
Attaching emotion to outcomes slows your progress — focus attention and intention on the cause, not the result, to speed up time.
Takeaways you can run this week
- Audit all five levels of intention daily: ask yourself if your actions (do), words (say), thoughts (think), beliefs (believe), and feelings (feel) are aligned with what you want — any gap creates resistance and slows results.
- Start a 14-day gratitude practice as a coherence drill: the goal isn't just gratitude, it's training yourself to remember and execute a daily habit consistently — apply this same coherence habit to one business activity (e.g., sending one agent video message per day).
- Use Meltzer's sponsor/power-sponsor framework: list 10 people who either know someone who can help your business or can directly send you referrals, then identify one specific action to serve each of them this week.
- Apply the Eisenhower matrix to your weekly task list: categorize everything by importance vs. urgency so that when unexpected requests hit, you know exactly where they fit and don't derail your core priorities.

- Shift your goal-setting language from outcome to cause: instead of 'I need 5 agent referrals this month,' write 'I will teach one high-value class, follow up with every attendee within 24 hours, and deliver one piece of market intel to each agent weekly.'

- Level 1 – Do: Take the right actions consistently
- Level 2 – Say: Speak what you want out loud, align your words with your goals
- Level 3 – Think: Direct your thoughts toward what you want, not what you lack
- Level 4 – Believe: Hold a deep belief that what you want already exists for you
- Level 5 – Feel: Reach emotional alignment with the outcome — this clears interference and accelerates results
- Daily coherence check: identify what you want personally, experientially, giving/receiving, and in relation to mid/long-term goals
- Identify your 'who': who can you serve (sponsors/power sponsors) and who can serve you
- Prioritize using importance vs. urgency so unexpected events don't derail your plan
- Put attention and intention on the cause (daily actions), not the outcome, to speed up results
Worth quoting
“Happiness is the pursuit — not the destination.”
“Prioritization is the antidote to procrastination. It's the antidote to feeling overwhelmed.”
Best for
LOs who feel busy and well-intentioned but stuck — not seeing results proportional to their effort — and want a concrete daily framework to realign focus.
