As I travel around the world all year long, leaders and achievers — people just like you — tell me the same things over and over. “I’m so busy, my plate is so full.” “I can’t seem to get anything done.” “There is too much email and too many interruptions.” If you have said, thought, [...]

There are lots of reasons this is a great time of year. While no reason can top Christmas itself, I also like this time of year because, if even for just a few days, more people think like achievers. If even for a brief time, people are thinking about goal setting and how to achieve [...]

The “year in review” is a staple for the media this time of the year. Time Magazine will name its Person of the Year, Billboard will rank the top songs in every category, and every newspaper will list the top stories of the year.
