Spend 10 minutes on Facebook, Twitter, or Reddit and you'll see more than a few people getting their panties in a wad over silly things that have no effect on their day-to-day lives.

Yet most entrepreneurs, even the smart and successful ones, do something very similar all the time...

Chances are you're one of them. And if you are, this is costing you business. More than that, it's keeping you from getting your best work out to world.

This episode of RED Podcast talks all about this problem and how you can fix it.

Email was so cool 25 years ago. Now it's just another item on a big ass list of things we have to do.

My mother has something like 23,000 emails in her inbox and she doesn't even run a business. Before I started properly managing my email, it wasn't uncommon for me to have 3500 or more messages myself.

The good news is that I've got a way to manage your email which will help you get to "inbox zero" and make sure you never miss an an important message again. And it only takes just a few minutes each day...

• Why you should ignore email (sometimes)
• The #2 problem with email (this is why you've overwhelmed with it not the #1 problem)
• Twitter -- why it's not just for kids, celebrities, and supernerd tech guys
• How to "check" your inbox without getting sucked in
• Why "unsubscribing" from mailing lists may be a waste of your time (and how to know ahead of time)
• Using a common "kitchen appliance" to help you get through important emails faster...
• What to do if an email is really urgent

Holy moly! It's been too long since I've put out a new episode of RED Podcast and I apologize for leaving you hanging.

This is not a full episode -- it's all the excuses I have for not publishing anything this month...

• Why I was hanging out with Ted Cruz (even though I can't stand him)
• The reason I haven't recorded any new episodes of RED Podcast in the last four weeks
• Two upcoming episodes of RED Podcast you won't want to miss

I haven't talked about this publicly, but for the last couple of years I've been trying to "figure things out." The biggest problem was that my business wasn't as fun as it used to be...

So I did something about it last week. I've gotten feedback from people who were surprised by my decision, which I understand, but this has been a couple of years in the making, so it's not as shocking as it may sound when you first hear it. Putting out this podcast to document this period and also to have a place to send people who come to me with questions, because I'm ready to move forward.
