You know that nightmare where you wake up in a cold sweat worried you missed something uber-important? Productivity guru (and To-Do List myth buster) David Allen is here to help you get tons more done - the right way. In our conversation, he explains how trying to keep track of too many things means you can’t be engaged and fully present on any one thing. And David shares the five-step process to take control of all the things that need your attention, starting with dumping them out of your head.

What you will learn:

• Productivity should be redefined
• Productivity myths
• Your head is a crappy office
• Your mind is like water
• 5 steps to take control of your to-dos
• The six horizons
• Do, Delegate or Defer

Quotes:

• “So, productivity simply means, ‘what kind of experience do I want to have?’” – David Allen
• “Anything you do that allows you to lift horizon with altitude to see what you’re doing is going to be a productive thing to do, but to assume that these are going to handle it all, that’s the myth.” – David Allen
• “As soon as you give yourself more than four things you need to manage or try to keep track of, you’re not going to be able to take a test as well, you’re not going to be able to think strategically as well, and you’re going to be likely more driven by what’s latest and loudest in life instead of intuitive strategic choices.” – David Allen
• “It’s impossible to be present if some part of your brain is still wrapped around a whole lot of stuff you’re not appropriately engaged with.” – David Allen
• “There’s no software, there’s no technology that can substitute your mind from making decisions about what it is that has your attention to what you’re going to do about it.” – David Allen
• “That’s how you get any situation under control and more focused as you capture, you clarify, you organize, you reflect and then you engage.” – David Allen
• “One of the really hard realizations I had many years ago was that I couldn’t do it all and do it well.” – Derrick Kinney
• “Ask yourself, are you the right person to do the next action on this? And if not, who is? And how could you hand that off to them?” – David Allen

JV Crum III understands exactly what it's like to have everything—the house on the water, the dream car, money, status—and still feel unsatisfied.

He explains that the stories we tell ourselves can either limit or empower us. He says that when you’re clear on your purpose and bring consciousness to your business, you can make more money and find deep, personal satisfaction in the process.

Quotes:

• “But I was beginning to think about, ‘I am going to grow up to be a millionaire. And I’m going to start taking care of that problem right now.” – JV Crum

• “However your business is running, how many clients you have, is a result of those beliefs, identify and personal reality.” – JV Crum
• “You can make far more money living on purpose and bringing the conscious elements into your business than you’ll ever make not bringing them in.” – JV Crum

Jason Feifer shares how companies that have clear missions are better at navigating challenges and embracing change. If you’re wondering how your company can stand out in the marketplace, he says that first, you should make a great product, but it’s how you tell your story and relate to people that can make the difference. And if you want to build a long-lasting business, he says the key is to make difficult decisions early, while you still have control. 

What you will learn:

• Giving back is good for business
• The difference between your What and your Why
• Differentiate with your story
• Sustainable companies can have larger impacts
• The importance of situational awareness
• Resistance is for losers
• Get to your first failure

Quotes:

• “This is about building long-term relationships, and that’s how you make money for a long time to come.” – Jason Feifer
• “Frankly, if you’re going to survive as a business in times like these, then you have to go beyond just offering a product or service. You have to be really meaningful to people in their lives.” – Jason Feifer
• “The companies that are really crystal clear about their mission are the ones that are going to thrive, and the other ones may not have a place in this new world.” – Jason Feifer
• “Can you identify what role you played in people’s lives and then pivot towards that? This is something I think that we all need to be doing all the time.” – Jason Feifer
• “So, the way that you differentiate is not just by the great product that you make, though of course, you should make the best product you can. But it’s also the story that you tell and the way you relate to people.” – Jason Feifer
• “You can’t do good with your company unless your company is profitable. Because otherwise it’s not there to do good with.” – Jason Feifer
• “The only thing you can do with that is to trust yourself and understand what you know and what you don’t know and continually strive to be better and to be open, I think, about what your own concerns are.” – Jason Feifer
• “When people resist a new innovation, the only thing that they really do, is they stop moving and they let everybody pass them by, because the future is not optional. You can’t opt out of the future.” – Jason Feifer
• “There’s an element of faith and risk that goes into anything, and you have to be willing to take that to achieve anything great.” – Derrick Kinney
• “You’re going to have failures along the way, so make sure you at least get to your first failure and then see how you react and see if you can get your company through it, because it’s going to happen. You’re going to have a lot of them.” – Jason Feifer

What does a rich life look like? Ramit Sethi shares how having a clear vision of your rich life allows you to use your money on the things that matter most. He says it’s normal to make mistakes with money and that you should start building habits early so you don’t make the same mistakes with $1 million that you did with $100. And if you’re thinking about how to make your money go further, Ramit reminds us that there’s a limit on what you can cut, but there’s no limit on what you can earn!

• “Saving $3 a day is not going to change the course of your financial life.” – Ramit Sethi
• “If you begin your financial life believing that having more money will change you or will turn you evil, then you have effectively no chance of growing your financial wealth.” – Ramit Sethi
• “There are lots of reasons to stay or to leave, but simply saying, ‘I’m underpaid, please play me more,’ that’s not persuasive. It’s about demonstrating value and communicating this in the correct way.” – Ramit Sethi
