An Invitation to Join My Productivity Focus Group
One of the most popular topics I write about is productivity. And I hear regularly that people are very interested in a course on how to cut distractions, save time, and get results. I have good news.
I’ve been hard at work developing my productivity approach over the years. I’ve intentionally refined it down to a simple but systematic framework that can be used by just about anyone looking to get more done without working more hours.
And I’m ready to get your feedback.<!- -more- ->
When Gail and I go out to eat someplace special, I love getting reservations from the chef’s table. It’s fun to see what’s going on in the kitchen and how our meal is being created.
But imagine being able to go inside the kitchen and have input on the courses as they’re being prepared.
An Invitation
I’m starting a private focus group to check my assumptions and get potential users like you involved in the creation of the course itself. If you’re a high achiever, I’d love your take on:
Product concept
Course content
Title and subtitle
Packaging direction
And more
Productivity is a core part of my leadership message. It’s a core part of who I am. This focus group represents a singular opportunity to help me shape one of my signature products.
I think of it as an invitation for you to not only come into my kitchen, but provide useful input on the menu itself.
The Opportunity
This group will be limited, but the benefits for joining are significant. Not only will you be able to inform how we build the course, you’ll also receive:
Early, discounted access to the beta version of the course
A 50 percent discount on the full course
The chance to be part of a group of like-minded productivity enthusiasts
An opportunity to interact directly with me on productivity: what works, doesn’t work, and why
What’s required? Only that you interact in our private Facebook group and provide honest, timely feedback on elements of the course.
So, how can you join?
Next Step
Follow the link below to a brief application. This will help us select the kind of user who will not only benefit the most from the course but provide us the maximum benefit in building it.
If you’re convinced you’d like to achieve more while still having time for what matters most in life, this could be a natural fit.

How to Nail Your Goals with This Simple Secret
4 Keys to Accomplish the Goals You Keep Missing
This is a guest post by Megan Hyatt Miller. Megan is the Chief Operations Officer of Michael Hyatt & Co. She is also Michael’s oldest daughter. Megan, her husband Joel, and their four children make their home in Franklin, Tennessee.Most of us start pursuing our goals with great focus and intensity, but roadblocks inevitably surface before we’re far down the road. We might be tempted to quit, or simply redouble our efforts in an effort to scale the obstacle, but the secret may be tossing our strategy out the window and trying an alternate approach.
I’ve been steadily working to reclaim my fitness, working out with a trainer consistently for several months, doing cardio on my off days, and dialing in my nutrition. In fact, it felt so good to feel strong again, that I pushed it a little harder than I should have.
Just as all my hard work started to pay off, I noticed a pain developing in my foot. I tried to ignore it for several weeks, but eventually I gave in and went to the doctor, only to discover I had a stress fracture in my fourth metatarsal. As I walked out of the doctor hobbling in my boot, I felt angry, defeated, and ready to quit. But I didn’t.
