Ever wonder how you can do more...with less? Well, one trick I have come up with is to notice more of the details.

Listen in, I'll share some techniques you can use today!

You've got it with you "almost" 24/7. Many people I meet with look at it last thing before they go to sleep, and first thing when they wake up. But, what's it for...really? There are three kinds of conversations we have during a day; and, I think the smartphone as it exists today is great for one (ok, maybe two) of those kinds of conversations. What do you think?

If you're ready to initiate a movement toward change - if you're going to Work Smarter, Think Bigger and Make More - you'll want to think about the people you're spending the most time with.

It's the beginning of a new year. Some people have asked me, "Is it good to set new goals at the beginning of a new year?"
