Why I Stopped Watching Television News
And Why the Future Will Be Far Better Than We’re Told
Along with more than 70 million of my fellow Americans, I watched the presidential debate Monday night. It’s hard to expect more from the context, but it was very negative.
It’s one of the reasons I almost never watch television news. You can make a good argument for viewing the debates. This is a historic election, and voters should stay informed. But in general watching TV news is a terrible way to do so.

What to Do with Difficult Clients [Podcast S08E13]
(And How to Attract Better Ones)
Welcome to Season 8, Episode 13 of the This Is Your Life podcast. In this episode, Michele Cushatt and I discuss what to do with difficult clients.
If you’ve ever been in a service-oriented business, you have likely dealt with the “high maintenance client.” This is the person who has unreasonable expectations and is often demanding, unrelenting, and never satisfied regardless of how hard you work to meet their expectations. In today’s podcast, I give you practical advice on how to handle these situations.

3 Forces That Shape Character
How Media, Habits, and People Hold us Back or Drive us Forward
Charisma may be useful in attracting a following, but it is largely useless when it comes to achieving a long-term, positive impact on the people and organizations we lead. For this, we need character.
In helping people build their platforms, I frequently meet people whose public image is better developed than their personal character. They are one person on stage and another when the spotlight is off.
It is this fundamental lack of integrity that undermines their effectiveness and, left unchecked, can destroy their legacy.

Why It Pays to Invest in Greater Productivity
How to Flip Your Tasks to Accomplish More of What Creates Wealth and Drives Revenue
We all have things we do really well. In our businesses, these are usually the tasks that drive revenue. But if you’re like most entrepreneurs and executives, you probably only spend 20 percent of your time on these tasks.
The rest goes to solving other people’s problems, wading through oceans of email, attending inefficient meetings, putting out countless fires, and addressing draining operational issues. Been there, done that.

True Confessions of a Productivity Geek
Why I Deconstructed My Process and What it Means for You
I’ve been a serious student of productivity for a couple decades now. As the primary income earner in a family of seven, I had to be.
When I first started in business, I lived in a constant state of feeling overwhelmed. Work took my best, and I struggled to find time for my family and my health.
I excelled at the office, but my pace was unsustainable. I was going to burn myself out or burn my family up—probably both. I had to find a better way.

Are You Falling for One of the Top 13 Productivity Myths?
Watch My Free New Webinar and Find Out What to Do Instead
I once read that these are the seven most expensive words in business: “That’s the way we’ve always done it.” I can think of a few other costly phrases, but this is definitely a biggie.
Just because we do something a certain way for a while doesn’t mean it’s the best approach. When I first started with social media, I wanted to be sociable. I tried to respond to every comment and every post.
But it just didn’t scale.

Are Limiting Beliefs Keeping You Trapped at Work?
Why Some People Get Stuck—and How You Can Get Free
A year after the New York Times published a brutal exposé on Amazon’s 24/7, on-the-job culture, the retail giant announced it was experimenting with a thirty hour workweek for some of its employees.
As far as I’m concerned, this is great news. When I talk with entrepreneurs, executives, and other leaders, I regularly hear they’re working fifty, sixty, even seventy hours a week. This level of overwork imposes huge costs on personal productivity, health, and more.
