Do you want to get more done, reach more of your goals, and make a bigger difference? If so, the morning is when that can all begin! However you came to read these words, I’m confident you are interested in greater productivity, achievement and success. Perhaps you want that for yourself, or perhaps you want [...]
Everyone reading these words has a place where they work. And most of you have a place where you work best. The goal of this article is to help you make sure those places are the same. As a business owner, I have more degrees of freedom to consciously create a space that works for [...]
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, [...]

Several years ago my sister-in-law Kara stated this as being in maintenance mode. The description seemed [...]
The run-up, the hype, the media coverage has been almost unprecedented. People have been talking about it for months. The media is ready. Apparently, the viewers are ready.
