quiet minutes
The foundation for clearer thinking
Improve what you think about and how you think.
Marc opens this lesson with a principle that has shaped his life and business decisions.
Action, strategies, mindsets, and perspectives all matter. However, the quality of your choices is also shaped by what receives your attention in the first place.
Marc says this exercise helped him think better and choose more effective things to think about.
Improve the way you process it.
Clearer thinking makes it easier to recognise the best decision available right now.
The personal story behind the practice
Marc reached a point where logic alone was not helping.
He could see three possible ways forward.
He could avoid the feelings or tolerate the situation.
He could quit everything he was doing.
He could ask another person for help.
Marc realised this was not primarily a business or logic problem. It was an alignment problem that involved his heart and gut, not only his head.
The three sources of internal input
Your Head, Heart, and Gut each contribute something useful.
The model stays simple because its job is to help you listen, integrate, and decide.
The Head uses thinking and logic.
It helps you examine facts, options, plans, and likely consequences.
The Heart carries your emotions.
It brings your feelings and emotional experience into the decision.
The Gut integrates both sources.
Marc describes it as the intersection of Head and Heart that helps you recognise the best decision available.

Marc decided to ask for help
A mentor introduced a practice that Marc kept using.
Marc found a business mentor who specialised in alignment and received one-to-one help. Of everything he learned, this 10-minute exercise remained one of the practices he continued to use.
Three warm and important scope notes
Use this practice as personal support, not a promise of certainty.
Marc is not presenting himself as an expert. He is sharing a personal practice that he uses.
Doing the practice does not mean that every decision you make will be correct.
Doing the practice does not mean you will experience zero stress for the rest of your life.
The intended outcome is simpler. The practice may help you make the best decision available at that point in time.
Follow the exact ten-minute routine
Give one question your full attention.
Do not rush to capture or judge what comes through while the timer is running.
Set a 10-minute alarm.
Use your phone, computer, or tablet to protect the full ten minutes.
Close your eyes completely.
Keep them closed until the timer ends, even when you want to write something down.
Take deep breaths and ground yourself.
Let the first part of the practice help some of the mental noise settle.
Ask one clear opening question.
Marc begins with the same simple question whenever he wants to hear his internal input.
"What is my intuition telling me?"
Allow whatever thoughts come through.
You do not need to force an answer, edit your thoughts, or decide what they mean immediately.
Wait until the timer ends before writing.
Keep your eyes closed during the practice. Write down the thoughts that came through after the ten minutes finish.
Marc's reason for using this practice
You may already know more than the noise lets you hear.
Marc believes that people often know the best answer for themselves, but mental noise gets in the way.
Before the ten quiet minutes
- Several thoughts compete for attention.
- Logic tries to solve everything alone.
- The important question stays buried.
During the ten quiet minutes
- Your eyes remain closed until the timer ends.
- Your breathing becomes the focus.
- One clear question creates space.
Closing your eyes, setting the alarm, breathing deeply, and asking one clear question may allow an answer to come through more naturally.
This is Marc's personal explanation for the practice. It is not a scientific or medical claim.
Use every practical implementation tip
Give the practice enough space to work without forcing an answer.
Set up the environment and protect the timer.
- Choose a quiet environment, preferably somewhere you can be alone.
- Keep your eyes closed for the full ten minutes.
- Do not open your eyes to write while the timer is running.
- Write down your thoughts only after the timer ends.
- Accept that you may not know the answer immediately.
Ask a more specific question when it would help.
- "What is my intuition telling me?"
- "What is my next challenge?"
- "What's the next campaign for cash?"
The first question remains your main opening question. The others are follow-up questions Marc shared in the recording.
A useful response does not always mean immediate action.
You may recognise that you need to act, wait and see, collect more information, or ask someone for help.
Choose the next action now
Wait until more becomes clear
Collect the missing information first
Ask the right person for help
Marc says the exercise becomes more effective as you learn to trust yourself. In this context, trust means believing you can access the best decision available to you at that point in time.
Recap the complete practice before moving on
Set the timer, listen fully, and write afterwards.
Set a 10-minute alarm on the device you prefer.
Close your eyes and take deep breaths to ground yourself.
Ask what your intuition is telling you right now.
Allow thoughts to come through without writing during the timer.
Write down what came through after the ten minutes finish.
16
calls in less than one month
One result from Marc's experience
Marc credits the practice with supporting several decisions he considers great.
One example was deciding to run a beta offer campaign that generated 16 calls in less than one month.
Marc also says the practice influenced personal-life decisions he did not expect to make.
These are Marc's experiences, not guaranteed outcomes from using the routine.
Your completed implementation should remain simple
Leave with one routine, one decision note, and one real next action.
This example shows what a useful finished output can look like after the timer ends.
Your personal routine is ready.
Place: Choose a quiet space where you can be alone.
Timer: Protect ten uninterrupted minutes.
Question: Ask what your intuition is telling you.
Your short decision note is clear.
Situation: Decide whether to start the next campaign.
Input: Begin with a smaller beta version.
Unclear: Which invitation will resonate most?
Your next action is observable.
Draft one invitation and ask one trusted person for specific feedback before choosing the launch date.
Intuition gives you input for the decision.
It is not permission to avoid an uncomfortable action. Treat what comes through as useful information, then choose the best real next action available now.
Keep these ideas close when you practise
The routine works best when it leads back to action.
- 1
Improve both what you think about and how you think about it.
- 2
Let your Head, Heart, and Gut contribute to the decision.
- 3
Protect ten quiet minutes without writing during the timer.
