Work Smarter, Not Harder!

It's as simple as this, you don't even need to listen to the whole 5 minute story. First, be willing to try something new, for personal or professional gain. Second, provision for 5% time allotment per workweek (30-60 min max). Third, maintain consistency on that new subroutine for a minimum of 6 weeks. Now go, my children...go. LOL

After you finish working with a client with quality service, don't neglect those final steps that you would need to conduct, in order to get paid! Here are three easy tips for getting your business process to the finish line!

First episode of our podcast. I had been preparing it since last year. Don't listen to any other episodes before you listen to this one.

Today I expand on the desired results of the wax on, wax off method of practicing your digital skills! Also, reminder - our band The JamCats is playing in Tuxedo, NY on Saturday around 12 noon! Stop on by!

Gotta head into band practice! So I don't have time to explain this episode. But it's about practice. So check it out.

I just finished an email, transmitting a colleague to someone for the FOURTH time. Needless to say, not only is this inefficient, it is mind-bogglingly frustrating. If you have ever wanted to get better at your emails, your project management, or just being less of a scatterbrain, here's an episode for you, sonny! (Or sally)

The Foo Fighters had a great album release almost a decade ago, with a fantastic title. In this episode we talk about the concept of preventing others from wasting your "light" - or inspiration, as well as remembering to not waste the light of others. Remember, as John Lennon once said - the love you make = the love you take. OK, maybe that was a little too existential. Just listen to the Podcast LOL

It kills me that countless companies have come to us over the years and spent months ruminating over their content, to make it as perfect as possible. Sorry, we are not Fortune 500s, and at some point, I say stop wasting time and money, JUST DEPLOY your ads and marketing pieces. By the way I didn't mention this in the episode, but aim for the 70% solution - it's gotta be 70% or better. The Marines have the same philosophy when deploying. Time is of the essence. Go.

Most of us add an email signature to our outgoing messages, such as name, phone number, company name, and web address - but have you thought about also adding a subtle mention of a promotion that you are running, under the signature? No?? Well...why not??? What's that you say, you want to know how to do this amazing feat? Great! In this episode we'll show you how to get it done!

Did you or your team ever exceed your deadline? You gave yourself a time estimate for getting the job done, and then you failed - not miserably, but you didn't meet the objective as planned. Today's episode encourages you to set "buffer time" in your projects, so that you don't stress yourself out.
