I have a big media conference I’m attending this week. The good news is I don’t have to travel for it. It’s actually being held up the street from my apartment. The bad news is I haven’t looked at the schedule yet. Fortunately, I’m a pro at having a productive conference experience, even while pressed […]
After avoiding it for as long as I could, I finally upgraded my phone. You see, my business is to a point where I need several apps to help me run it. In my case, it’s mostly social media apps because I’m a blogger. However, there are also plenty of productivity apps I use to […]

I already barely take meetings for clients (unless it’s business coaching), so it only makes sense to move this over for my internal team. Granted, I still have meetings. I have meetings with my agent and my PR people. […]
At the time of writing this, it looks like I’m going to be traveling for client work this month. I will also be traveling to a business retreat the following month and a wedding the month after that. After taking a hiatus from traveling, it seems as if I once again have a busy travel […]
Hours and hours are wasted every week on unproductive meetings. And that’s time that could be spent on other important business initiatives to better move a company forward. Because it’s not only an employee’s time that’s wasted but an employer’s money too. According to research, $25 million of company money are lost every day on […]
I often hear business owners complaining about how much of their time is wasted on people who don’t take them seriously. Often times, I come to find that they give the free world access to their calendars. The truth is, at some point, you do need to be more selective about who has access to […]
