How do you get clients? This is one question that repeats itself endlessly. You'd think the answer would be common knowledge by now, and it is. The answer lies in a concept called "groups". We fail to understand the power of groups, and that's where the struggle begins. How do you use the power of groups? Let's find out.
"Hard work" has never been considered a problem. If anything, we're all told to work hard. How do you know when you've crossed the line from hard work to overwork? Surprisingly, the answer doesn't lie within ourselves. Here's how to use your family as an early warning system.
It's clearly impossible to avoid using a phone. Which is why software seems to come to the rescue. However, the way to avoid the phone (at least once a week) is simpler than you'd think.

Podcasts, membership site, cartoons, photography, Whatsapp—the list goes on and on. And it's puzzling to clients how I (Sean) manage so much. Well, there are bound to be some principles. Here are just four of them, and we cover two of them in this first episode.
Sean D'Souza made two vows when he started up Psychotactics back in 2002. The first was that he'd always get paid in advance and the second was that work wouldn't control his life. He decided to take…
three months off every year. But how do you take three months off, without affecting your business and profits? Do you buy into the myth of "outsourcing everything and working just a few hours a week?" Not really. Instead, you structure your business in a way that enables you to work hard and then take three months off every single year. And Sean walks his talk. Since 2004, he's taken three months off every year (except in 2005, when there was a medical emergency). This podcast isn't about the easy life. It's not some magic trick about working less. Instead with this podcast you learn how to really enjoy your work, enjoy your vacation time and yes, get paid in advance.
