"Time management is an oxymoron. Time is beyond our control, and the clock keeps ticking regardless of how we lead our lives. Priority management is the answer to maximizing the time we have."

 - John C. Maxwell

Let's face it... most of us are trading hours for dollars in one way, shape, or form. Over the last 16 years, I have been perfecting systems that help people take control of their time in a way that significantly helps them maximize the amount of billable time they have per week.

In this podcast, I will give you my three top tips from my Productivity Bundle that I currently use to save hours per week. I also teach this to my coaching clients. These simple tips can help you get control of your time, tasks, and business.

As kids, most of us played the game "Follow The Leader". In order to be successful in business, we need to learn to follow before we can be effective leaders. In the podcast, we will explore three follow principles that we need to master to become effective leaders...

* Follow The Leaders - Learn from others in your industry and model the things they are doing to achieve success. Learn to reverse engineer their success.

* Follow Through - It starts with communication. Under promise and over deliver, but make sure you have solid communications through the process.

* Follow Up - Many businesses are leaving money on the table. You past customers may want to buy again or upgrade. Current customers can be groomed to be excellent referral sources. Prospect may not be ready to buy now, but constant communication may find them ready to buy at the right time.

These principles have helped the most successful achieve excellence in their businesses, by helping others achieve success.

Hi, I’m Brad Costanzo, host of Bacon Wrapped Business. If you’re trying to find your way out of the corporate rat-race and looking for inspiration, strategies, and insights, this is show is for you too.

I help businesses grow their revenue through digital marketing, branding strategies and proven direct response campaigns.

I’ve been called an Opportuneur, or an entrepreneur who has an uncanny knack for noticing and seizing opportunities wherever they are, often in multiple industries, niches, and professions.  I’ve started a string of businesses in multiple industries.  Some have been fantastic successes and others have failed to be profitable.  (Notice I didn’t say “I failed” because each of those experiences brought me great “feedback” about what doesn’t work.

I grew up near St. Louis, MO, lived in Orlando, FL then Dallas, TX before selling my first company and moving to San Diego, California where I currently call home with my wife Kenia Costanzo (founder of Stiletto Coffee) and my dog Indy.
