If you want to inspire people to work with you make sure that when they leave they feel like the most interesting person in the room. If they leave saying that…
Want Succes – Build A Routine
by
Routine is crucial and for most people that are struggling with getting work done the fact is that they don’t have it. They start their day in some random way that just happened to them after a few years in the business. Unfortunately for almost everyone, it starts with email. A scattered place where you…
Hours are stupid and clients don’t care about them
by
Measuring time is literally the easiest way to assess someone’s dedication and productivity, but it’s also very unreliable. – Rest Your clients don’t care if you put in 8 hours. They want value out of you. They want the value you provide. Selling them hours is a lame way of making pricing easier. It saves…
Don’t let little things derail you
by
What do you let break your focus? How much does that thing really matter in the grand scheme of things? Today I’m going to talk about a few weeks ago running where I let something with my watch affect my mindset. It almost stopped me cold in my tracks, and it really was nothing.

Higher Paying Clients does NOT Mean More Profit
