Does anyone–ever–bother to watch the entirety of a flash intro? Does anyone go to a website that has flash animation on it, and think: “Oh, boy, some flash animation! This is gonna be good!”
Yet, tons of sites from tons of companies put it up there, and think that they’re doing a great [...]
GTD For Beginners: Weekly Review.
For ultra newbies: GTD = Getting Things Done, and referrs to the Book by David Allen.
Part of GTD–an integral part you need to fully trust the system–is the weekly review. It’s unlikely that you will do much with GTD without a weekly review process that works.
The book suggests that you [...]
The last post that I put out there seemed a little more defensive than I am. We live in a world, for better or worse, that requires that we get along with people. Most of the people that we have to deal with are going to have the qualities of the incompetent. [...]

I get some criticisms about my “personality” a lot.
I’m abrasive.
I talk too fast.
I bulldoze over people.

You think too slowly.
You are a milquetoast.
Effectiveness isn’t arrogance.
Why would I listen to people that are repeatedly inept?
Nobody can stand anything resembling a [...]
Al and Laura Ries would kill me.
But it doesn’t matter.
The USP/idea that I wanna get behind with my little mortgage business is offering loans in ten days. The industry takes three weeks if we’re hustling. Ten days is silly fast.
I have to find some idea built around “ten days,” to start to [...]
So I’m about 60% of the way through building the loan process for my customers. I set out with the goal to have a very predictable loan process that could close all loan types in ten days. The industry average is three-to-for weeks. I wanted to cut that up for [...]

I’m through the preamble, and I’m reading now The Artist’s Way. It was recommended to me by several people; Jenna Fischer, Scott Ginsberg and others.
I am blown away. In as much as “Getting Things Done,” helped me to restore some [...]
So with the last thing I said (see where your limits are), that’s what this is about. I’ve listed–for the most part–the stuff I want to check off, the things I want to check in, so the thing left to do is to grab the stuff i want to count.
Then, by tomorrow, it’s gotta become [...]
(note: I have a ton of stuff to get out there tonight–maybe a ton of it will become a post, maybe not).
Your mind automatically finishes the following sentence: Jack of All Trades….
And we all know that type. The “Experts” on everything, dispensing knowledge without thought, and giving direction of dubious value (but regular [...]
