We've all probably done it at least once ... with our kid, or with a pet perhaps. The countdown. "Get back here right now." No response. "1... 2..."

and there's usually a scramble between 2 and 3 where action occurs. It's a powerful motivator and highly effective in my household.

Today I riff on how I've been using the power of the countdown to get things done in my business (in some cases for better, and in others for worse). And I ponder, without success, how I might be able to leverage this power for getting more results in my personal life.

Listen to find motivation and a practical mind hack for leveraging this power to get results.
