Flip This Wholesaler

Hola Folks!

It’s time for another Flip This Book Club review by my pal Shae Bynes….

This month’s book was HARD Goals by Mark Murphy. Hope you all enjoyed it!

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
I really wasn’t looking to read yet another goal setting book.  I’ve likely read about 10 books on this topic from some of the most respected personal development experts out there. However, my friend Julie Broad suggested that I pick up HARD Goals and check out Mark Murphy’s approach to goal setting and achievement because she found it to be unique and refreshing.

I must say that I’m glad that I read it because his perspective definitely provided clarity on why some of the goals I set for the past couple years just didn’t feel quite right…and now I know how to fix them.

Murphy believes that implementing a goal gets a lot easier when your goal is HARD.  Like me, you’re probably thinking that Murphy means HARD as in difficult….well, yes and no. It’s more than that.  HARD is actually an acronym:

H – Heartfelt - You need to have a deep emotional attachment to your goal

A – Animated – You need to have lively and robust images of your goals dancing through your mind

R – Required – You must feel lke your survival depends on achieving your goals…that you mist achieve them or your world will end

D – Difficult – Your goals must not be small and easy — they should require you to enter unchartered territory

Murphy argues that if you only feel ho-hum about your goals…or even if you subscribed to the theory of SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, time-limited) goals, all the daily rituals and discipline in the world won’t help you succeed and you’ll waste time trying to trick yourself into implementing mediocre goals.

Key Insights From HARD Goals

Below are some of my favorite insights from HARD Goals. I really encourage you to read the book if you haven’t already so that you can understand the science behind his methodology and learn all of the “how to” details to help develop your own HARD goals.

• You need to understand your Shoves and Tugs.  Shoves are those issues that demotivate you, drain your energy, and stop you from giving 100%.  Tugs are the issues that motivate and fulfill you, that you inherently love, that make you want to give 100% no matter what.   Once you understand these things, you can choose goals that are more suited to your intrinsic drives (Shoves).

• The biggest impediment to any goal is lack of visual stimulation. Don’t fall for the “illusion of specificity” — thinking that if you just pick a numerical goal, that’s all you will need.  If you don’t first start with a picture, your numbers will provide a false sense of specificity.  Here’s the real test of specificity: If a 6 year old child can draw a picture of your goal, it’s specific.

• When you’re truly starting at ground zero, when you have absolutely no idea how to do what you’re trying to do, a performance goal can backfire.  In these cases you will likely want to start with a learning goal.

• If you can breeze through a goal without learning, it’s just not difficult enough. You should have two to four major new learning experiences from each of your goals.  If it’s not going to generate that level of learning and growth, make it about 30% more difficult.

• Another “difficulty test” is to ask yourself to what extent is the goal within your comfort zone?

1. Totally within my comfort zone (”I can do this with my eyes closed.”)
2. Pretty much within my comfort zone (”I’m awake, but hardly in a state of excitement.”)
3. A little outside of my comfort zone (”I feel a little twinge of excitement or nervousness.”)
4. Outside my comfort zone (”I’m on pins and needles, totally bug-eyed alert.”)
5. So far outside of my comfort zone I’m too dumbfounded to even respond

This is a subjective test, but Murphy suggests that if your goal is sufficiently difficult, choice 4 is right on the money (1 and 2 are too easy, 3 is at least getting close, and 5 is way too hard).

Did any of you read HARD Goals?  If so, what were your takeaways from it?  If you haven’t checked it out, a highly recommend it if (1) you are yet to develop any goals or (2) you aren’t very enthusiastic and driven for one or more of the goals you’ve set for yourself.

Thanks for another great review, Shae!

Next month’s book will be The Success Principles, by Jack Canfield. We’ll meet back here in 30 days to discuss.

Have a great weekend, y’all!

Greetings everybody!

It’s time for another Flip This Book Club review by my pal Shae Bynes.  This month’s book was The Dip, by Seth Godin.  For those of you who read it, I hope you enjoyed it!

Take it away, Shae….

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

I’m convinced that everyone (whether you have a business or a job)
needs a little Seth Godin in his or her life. His style reminds me of a firecracker…it’s hard-hitting and powerful in a very short period of time (76 pages!). As with every other Godin book I’ve read, I really enjoyed and got a lot from this month’s Flip This Book Club selection,  The Dip – A Little Book That Teaches You When To Quit (And When To Stick).

There is a lot of insight right up front in the book where Godin says that Vince Lombardi’s quote “Quitters never win and winners never quit.” is bad advice and makes the point that

Winners quit all the time. They just quit the right stuff at the right time. Most people quit. They just don’t quit successfully. They quit when it’s painful and stick when they can’t be bothered to quit.

He goes on to explain how if you want to experience extraordinary benefits and be the best in the world, you need to quit the wrong stuff, stick with the right stuff, and have the guts to do one of the other.

As real estate entrepreneurs, there’s much to be gained from Godin’s insights. Some of you may be in the exciting early stages right now, learning how to wholesale real estate.  Others of you have done your first deal or two, but now are experiencing a lull in activity and feeling a little (or a lot) frustrated.  Perhaps some of you are very experienced with real estate wholesaling now and have had some success and now you’re just working on going from a good business to an extraordinary business. Regardless, pay close attention.

The Dip (When to Stick)

So this is The Dip that Seth Godin shows us:

He explains that almost everything in life worth doing is controlled by this curve called the Dip.  When you first start it, it’s fun and interesting and for several days and weeks you are highly engaged because you’re learning something new.  But then the Dip happens.

Godin defines The Dip as the long slog between starting and mastery, the long stretch between beginner’s luck and real accomplishment, the set of artificial screens set up to keep people like you out.

It’s the bureaucracy, the busywork, the longer hours, the need to learn new skills, the challenges. But while it’s a long slog, it’s actually still a shortcut because  it gets you to go faster than any other path.

It’s best to make a decision up front whether you’re going to be willing to go through the Dip.  If you’re not willing, it’s best to save your time, quit now, and do something else before the Dip hits.  On the other hand, if you are willing to go through the Dip because the rewards for sticking it out are worth it to you, then stick with it.  Considering that the majority of people quit during the Dip, sticking it out will lead to extraordinary benefits for you.

I loved this advice from Godin about going through the Dip:

Successful people don’t just ride out the Dip. They don’t just buckle down and survive it. No, they lean into the Dip. They push harder, changing the rules as they go. Just because you know you’re in the Dip doesn’t mean you have to life happily with it. Dips don’t last quite as long when you whittle at them.

Godin’s bottom line: If you can’t make it through The Dip, don’t start.

The Cul-de-Sac and The Cliff (When to Quit)

Godin described a couple other curves…the ones you should quit immediately.

The Cul-de-Sac (french for “Dead end”): This happens when you work and work and work and nothing changes (for the worse or for the better).  When you realize you’re in a dead end, time to get off. You’re wasting time when you could be doing something else.

The Cliff: This is a situation where the pain of quitting gets bigger and bigger over time and you can’t quit until you fall off and the entire thing falls apart.  Godin says this curve is rare, but certainly scary when it happens…he used smoking cigarettes as an example (it’s very pleasurable until you suffer from emphysema!)

He makes an important point that when you’re quitting, remember that it’s not as though you are quitting the bigger picture or vision….you’re simply quitting tactics that aren’t working.  A specific job is a tactic, a product feature is a tactic, a marketing method is a tactic. You can quit the tactics that are not working, spend time on another tactic that presents the Dip, get through that Dip, and achieve the larger picture.

But Before You Quit….

So in summary, when should you quit?

• If you’re on a dead-end path
• If you’re facing a Cliff
• If what you’re working on has a Dip that isn’t worth the reward at the end

Godin also gives us some pointers on what to ask ourselves before we quit.

• “Am I panicking?” It’s dangerous to quit when you’re in panic mode. Wait until you’re done panicking before you make such a critical decision.
• “Who am I trying to influence?” If you’re trying to influence just one person, and you haven’t made progress after the first few times, maybe it is time to quit and move on… If you’re trying to influence a market of people, understand that a few rejections shouldn’t necessarily stop the show.
• “What sort of measurable progress am I making?” There should always be some forward movement. The choice to stick with something in the absence of forward progress is a waste of time.

Godin urges all of us to use all of resources to get through the biggest possible Dip…to use our energy to assault the Dip  that matters and quit everything else that isn’t going to make a dent in this world.

Would love to hear your thoughts on The Dip! Also, I’ll look forward to reviewing and discussing our May Flip This Book Club selection, HARD Goals by Mark Murphy (thanks for the recommendation Julie!).

Thanks for another great review, Shae!  We’ll meet back here on May 19th to discuss next month’s book!

Hey Guys and Gals!

My Hometown: The Booming Metropolis of Hinckley, IL.

I’m writing this post from corn country, Illinois, where I’m having a great time on vacation (minus the fact that my cell phone doesn’t work here and also the weather sucks).  Other than that, though, I can’t complain.

I got to meet my 1 week old niece, Gracie a few days ago (and my brother almost burned his house down while I was there), and then on Saturday my Dad had a big shindig in my honor complete with a pig on a spit (not kidding), and lots of beer and good food and good times, and then for the next couple of days I’ll be hanging out with my Mom and probably drinking some wine and eating some of her famous guacamole and watching the Sopranos and having a good time.  I’ve gained about 10 pounds since I’ve been here, and am enjoying my new double chin.

I was planning on posting the new Success Story today that I talked about in my last post, but I am still not able to upload the call and spent about 2 hours on the phone with Host Gator trying to figure it out, and then found out I have to use an FTP (?) to upload the call and that turned out to be a big huge production and I finally got frustrated and gave up.

Technology never tires of mocking me.

Anywho, it’s time for my buddy Shae Bynes from GoodFaithInvesting.com to review this month’s Flip This Book Club Selection, which was The Power of Focus by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, and Les Hewiitt.

Take it away, Shae…..

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

This month’s Flip This Bookclub discussion is on The Power of Focus by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, and Les Hewitt.  I’ll tell you that of all the personal development books I’ve read in the past few years, this one is definitely in the top 3.  What I love most about it as that its very holistic in its approach to financial freedom and success by focusing on several areas of our lives and providing strategies and practical action steps.  If you actually take out a notebook and follow the action steps in the book, you can really look at the authors as personal coaches because they take you by the hand and force you to think through your life — where things are currently and where you desire to go.

The Power of Focus outlines 10 focusing strategies:

#1: Your Habits Will Determine Your Future: Successful people have successful habits.
If you keep on doing what you’ve always done, you’ll keep getting what you always got.

#2: It’s Not Hocus-Pocus, It’s All About Focus: Build on your strengths, not your weaknesses.
You must invest most of your time every week doing what you do best, and let others do what they do best. We are all blessed with a few God-given talents. A big part of your life is discovering what these are, then utilizing and applying them to the best of your ability.

#3: Do You See The Big Picture?: Designing your crystal-clear future.
If you make the effort to develop the habit of unusual clarity of your desired life, the payoff will be tremendous.

#4: Creating Optimum Balance: More money, more time off.
You need a clear blueprint for the day that enables you to stay focused on your most important activities, maximizes your energy and clarity with a little exercise and reflective thinking, and gives you time off for some fun.

#5: Building Excellent Relationships: Your entry into the big leagues.
You achieve victory by surrounding yourself with brilliant teams of people (e.g. mentors and mastermind groups). Assert yourself and seek out excellent people.

#6: The Confidence Factor: Eliminating fear and worry.
The road to confidence is paved with weekly victories – learn to applaud them. Confidence is the glue that holds everything together.

#7: Ask For What Your Want: A seven-point system to help you prosper.
How do you boost your business? Ask for information. Ask for business. Ask for written endorsements. Ask for top-quality referrals. Ask for more business. Ask to renegotiate. Ask for feedback.

#8: Consistent Persistence: Success if often just around the corner.
Remember that have-to’s put you in a position of pressure, whereas choose-to’s put you in a position of power. Choose wisely!

#9: Taking Decisive Action: Proven systems for creating wealth.
After awhile, sitting on the fence becomes very uncomfortable. If you’re not careful, you’ll stay stuck, unable to get off. Decisiveness is your greatest ally as you chart your path through life. Think. Ask (others with experience). Decide. Act.

#10: Living On Purpose: Making your life simple again.
Activate your own purpose by aligning your purpose with your natural ability, staying determined, and maintaining a humble attitude.

Each chapter in The Power of Focus has practical advice and activities to do that really help you take what you’ve learned and apply it in your life and business.  For those who didn’t read the book, I thought I’d share a few of my favorite ones:


Developing Mentor Relationships
1. What specific areas of expertise do you want to improve?  Check the most important:

• Expanding my business
• Sales and marketing
• Health and Fitness
• Hiring Excellent People
• Balanced Lifestyle
• Financial Strategies
• Communication Skills
• Developing Strategic Alliances
• Eliminating Debt
• New Technology
• Parenting
• Other: ________

2. List the top three areas of expertise you want to improve, and name two possible mentors for each.
3. From the list above, select the most important area you want to work on right away, and your #1 preferred mentor.
4. Create your script for your first contact. Practice with a friend if necessary.
5. Pick a time and date and make the call.  Keep calling until you connect because persistence really pays off.


The 4-D Solution to Help You Prioritize – You have four options to choose from. Make the decision quickly.

• Dump it -> learn to say “No, I choose not to do this.” Say no and be firm.
• Delegate it -> Tasks that need to be done, but are not high value tasks that you should be focused on. Hand them over to someone else without guilt or regrets
• Defer it -> Task you need to work on, but not right away. Save it for later but be sure to set a specific time and date to handle it.
• Do it -> Important projects…Do it now.  Move forward with no excuses and reward yourself for completing these projects.

Creating Optimum Balance with B-ALERT System
B-ALERT is a powerful formula that helps you create a well-balanced day.  Repeat the process 7 times and you’ll have a well-balanced week. Persevere for just four weeks and you’ll have a great month. make it a habit every month, and before you know it you’ll have a terrific year with a lot more time off and lot more money to go with it.


B – Blueprint: Make a strategic plan for the day the night before or early morning. Priorities, appointments, projects.
A – Action: Concentrate on the most important activities that will you towards accomplishing your sixty-day goals.
L – Learning: Expand your knowledge through reading, CDs, videos, mentors, courses.
E – Exercise: Re-energize for thirty minutes.
R – Relaxation: Eliminate daily stress. Nap, meditate, listen to music, family time.
T -  Think: Take time to reflect on the day. Review goals, visualize, develop new ideas, use a journal.

Can you tell I loved this book?  I’m still yet to do every activity in the book even though I’ve read it twice (and I suspect I’ll read it again next year too).  However, I did focus on a few of them and like anything else if you do it and then take action you’ll see results.

I can’t recommend this book highly enough. Don’t pick it up at the library. Buy it, highlight in it, take notes in it, take action on what you’ve learned. You won’t regret it!

For those who have read The Power of Focus, what did you take from it?

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

Thanks for another great review, Shae!

Hopefully the rest of you guys enjoyed the book as much as we did.  For those who read it, we’d love to hear your thoughts…

So, I’ve totally spent this entire week in bed all hopped up on pain pills.  Aleve, actually.  I think they make your stomach bleed or something like that if you take too many of them though, so I just started drinking wine instead to dull the pain.  Because there’s nothing better than drinking a glass of merlot at 1pm on a Wednesday afternoon. In bed. (I’m just kidding, Mom).

Anyway, the good news is that my back is finally feeling better, but the bad news is that I haven’t really gotten anything important accomplished this week, unless you consider surfing the net important. In which case, I got all kinds of important stuff done this week.

Anyhoodle, it’s time for another Flip This Book Club Review, brought to you by my dear friend Shae Bynes from GoodFaithInvesting.com.  This month’s book was Think and Grow Rich, by Napoleon Hill- I hope you guys enjoyed it!

Take it away, Shae….

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill is a best-selling business classic.  I’m sure many of you read this book months or even years ago, but this was actually my very first time reading it. For those who didn’t know, Think and Grow Rich was initially published in 1937 during the Great Depression and, according to Hill, is a result of 20 years of research and analysis of hundreds of well-known high achieving men who had accumulated vast fortunes using businessman Andrew Carnegie’s “secret for success.”

If you’ve already read numerous books on success and personal development, many (but likely not all) of the 13 Success Principles presented by Napoleon Hill will be familiar to you because Think and Grow Rich served as the inspiration and foundational text for many of those other books you’ve read and enjoyed!  Here are the 13 Success Principles along with some of the quotes that really stuck out to me from the respective chapter on the topic.

• Desire:  Wishing will not bring riches but desiring riches with a state of mind that becomes an obsession, then planning definite ways and means to acquire riches, and backing those plans with persistence which does not recognize failure, will bring riches.  No one is ready for a thing until he believes it.
• Faith: Faith is the head chemist of the mind. It is the “eternal elixir” which gives life, power, and action to the impulse of thought. Faith is the only antidote for failure!
• Auto-Suggestion: Remember when reading aloud the statement of your desire, that the mere reading of the words is of no consequence – unless you mix emotion, or feeling with your words.
• Specialized Knowledge: Specialized knowledge does not necessarily have to be in possession of the man who accumulates the fortune. Knowledge has no value except that which can be gained from its application toward some worthy end.
• Imagination: First you give life and action and guidance to ideas, then they take on power of their own and sweep aside all opposition.
• Organized Planning: Temporary defeat should mean only one thing, the certain knowledge that there is something wrong with your plan. We see men who have accumulated great fortunes, but we often recognize only their triumph, overlooking the temporary defeats which they had to surmount before “arriving.” (Side note: I loved the list of 31 major causes of failure in this chapter)
• Decision: Analysis of several hundred millionaires disclosed the fact that every one of them had the habit of reaching decisions promptly, and of changing these decisions slowly, if, and when they were changed.
• Persistence: Persistence is a state of mind, therefore it can be cultivated. Persistence is the direct result of habit.  Organized plans, even though they may be weak and entirely impractical, encourage persistence.
• Master Mind: No individual has sufficient experience, education, native ability, and knowledge to insure the accumulation of a great fortune, without the cooperation of other people.
• Sex Transmutation: Take inventory of those whom you know to be men of great achievement, and see if you can find one among them who is not highly sexed.  Man’s greatest motivating force is his desire to please woman! (Hey, these are Napoleon’s words…not mine! LOL! Gentleman, do you even agree with this? Just curious.)
• Subconscious Mind: Thoughts of fear and poverty and all negative thoughts serve as a stimuli to your subconscious mind,  unless you master these impulses and give it more desirable food upon which it may feed. The subconscious mind will not remain idle! If you fail to plant desires in your subconscious mind, it will feed upon the thoughts which reach it as the result of your neglect.
• The Brain: Every human brain is both a broadcasting and receiving station for the vibration of thought. The subconscious mind is the “sending station” of the brain [and] the creative imagination is the “receiving set” through which the energies of thought are picked up.
• The Sixth Sense: The starting point of all achievement is desire. The finishing point is that brand of knowledge which leads to understanding – understanding of self, understanding of others, understanding of the laws of nature, recognition and understanding of happiness…this comes in its fullness only through familiarity with, and use of the principle of the sixth sense.

At the risk of catching flack for this comment, I’ll share that I personally resonated much more with some of the more contemporary professional development experts and books such as Jim Rohn’s The Five Major Pieces of the Life Puzzle, Brian Tracy’s Maximum Achievement, and Mark Victor Hansen, Jack Canfield, and Les Hewitt’s The Power of Focus.  Also, depending on your world view and spiritual beliefs (or even the lack thereof), some of the language and concepts presented in Think and Grow Rich may be a little uncomfortable or simply not jive with you at all. Nevertheless, there is so much wisdom within the pages of this book and, for many people, this is the very book that opened up a world of new possibilities.

So that’s my nickel. What’s yours?

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Thanks for another outstanding review, Shae!

Next month’s book choice is The Power of Focus, by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, and Les Hewitt. Both Shae and I have already read this one, but it’s definitely worthy of a second time through! We’ll meet here on Monday September 20th-ish at 8pm to discuss!

Later Alligators!

P.S.
Shae is having a contest on Facebook to see who can come up with the tastiest coffee drink recipe. If you win, you get some of her delicious magical mushroom coffee (or tea), which also cures diseases and makes you look 20 years younger. You can learn more about the contest here.

P.P.S.
Sorry if the font is really small in the middle of the book review. I tried to fix it, but as I’ve mentioned before, WordPress is a dirty, dirty, hooker and wouldn’t let me.

P.P.P.S.
Shae just brought to my attention (in the comments below) that the word “Napoleon” is highlighted several times in this post.  I have no clue how that happened, and no idea how to fix it.  Apparently WordPress is mocking me.

Greetings!

It’s time once again for another fantastic book review by Mrs. Shae Bynes from GoodFaithInvesting.com!

Sorry I’m a little late getting it to you this month, but better late than never, eh?

This month, Shae will be reviewing No BS Time Management for Entrepreneurs, by Dan Kennedy. (Side note: Could entrepreneur be any harder to spell? Geeze.)

For those who read the book- I hope you liked it!  I thought it was an excellent read, and considering the fact that my time management skills are in need of a major overhaul (thanks Facebook!), this was also a timely book choice for me.

Anywho, here’s what Shae had to say about it…..

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

This month’s Flip This Book Club selection, No B.S. Time Management for Entrepreneurs, was the first book I’ve read from successful entrepreneur and author Dan Kennedy. It’s clear why he brands his books “No B.S.” — the dude pulls no punches! There is quite a bit of no-nonsense practical advice in this book (along with the occasional rant), but I have to admit that I’m still scratching my head at how Kennedy has practically eliminated the use of cell phones and emails from his business life as methods of communication (he opts for faxes because he says people put more thought into the content of them).

Nevertheless, I want to first point out that there were several great nuggets of wisdom about time management and success in this book….words worth typing up and posting on your wall or somewhere else where you can see them and remind yourself regularly. Here are some of my favorites:

- Self-discipline is the magic power that makes you virtually unstoppable.
– Delegate or stagnate.
– No one who is good at making excuses is also good at making money. The skills are mutually exclusive.
– The more decisions you make and the faster you make them, the more productive you are.
– Good enough is good enough.

Kennedy talked about a technique he uses to focus and avoid majoring in minor matters: Identify and write down the three most important, most significant, most productive, most valuable things you can do to foster success in your particular enterprise. Then translate them into three actions you can take each and every day. He noted that even though some people may find writing down lists to be confining, he’s never known or met a successful entrepreneur who wasn’t a list maker.

To illustrate the importance and benefits of taking massive action, he shared a story about how a dentist with a struggling practice made a list of 300 things he needed to implement to turn things around. He simply did 10 items from the list each and every week for 30 weeks and without increasing marketing or advertising expenses he managed to QUADRUPLE his business! Pretty powerful.

We all know that sometimes we fail to hit our goals. When we do fail, some people will reset the same goal with a new deadline and others may create less aggressive goals, but Kennedy handles these situations a bit differently by creating a similar but bigger and more exciting goal with a new deadline. This way he’s able to stay motivated and focused rather than lower the bar or waste time with disappointment.

For the benefit of those who didn’t read the book, I thought I’d end with Kennedy’s excellent definition of productivity and 4 of the many time management techniques discussed in the book. I suspect you’ve heard some or all of these before but never hurts to remind yourself because we can all do better with our time management!

Definition of productivity: Productivity is the deliberate, strategic investment of your time, talent, intelligence, energy, resources, and opportunities in a manner calculated to move you measurably closer to meaningful goals.

4 Time Management Techniques Really Worth Using

• 1. Tame the phone: Take few if any incoming calls. Return calls at your convenience. This is the #1 source of interruption and distraction for most people.

• 2. Block your time: Make inviolate appointments with yourself. Block out time to handle specific reoccurring aspects of your business. If you block time for important, high-value functions you perform, you prevent demands of others from moving these activities from number one to number ten on your list over and over again. This one technique has enabled Kennedy to write at least one book per year publish two monthly newsletters for 8 consecutive years.

• 3. Practice absolute punctuality: Being punctual gives you the right — the positioning — to expect and demand that others treat your time with respect. Kennedy feels so strongly about this one that as a general rule of thumb, he will use a person’s punctuality (or lack thereof) to determine whether he wants to do business with them.

• 4. Profit from “Odd-Lot” time: Turn driving time and waiting time into educational times to learn a foreign language, improve your memory, or essentially learn about any and every topic from experts. Take advantage of audiobooks and podcasts.

For those who read No B.S. Time Management for Entrepreneurs, what were some of your favorite tips or techniques? Have you mastered any time management techniques that have substantially increased your productivity?

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

Thanks, Shae, for another outstanding review!

Looking forward to hearing what the rest of you guys thought about the book….
