Today we are talking about Principle #6 to Eliminating Distractions which is to remove computer desktop ICONS. All of those things you love doing, like playing solitaire, just remove the icon from your computer desktop. Out of sight, out of mind is typically a good policy. This goes for apps like Facebook or YouTube, for example. If these aren’t moving you and your business forward to achieving your goals, don’t get on them during primetime so you can’t get distracted...

Today we are talking about Principle #5 to Eliminating Distractions which is to remove desktop clutter. You know what I’m talking about. Magazines you say you're going to read on your lunch break and the picture of your sweetheart taped right to your computer monitor; these items need to be moved out of your immediate and frequent field of vision. It's OK to have personal items near you; they just shouldn't be right in front of where you look most of the time. Only keep those item...

2026/04/20

Today we are talking about Principle #4 to Eliminating Distractions which is to stop spending so much time on social media to see what other people are posting, especially if you don’t need it to do it to directly generate revenue. Just don't get on it - because once you do, you're more likely to get sucked into it. If you have to get your fix, do it at the end of the work day or a set time during the day. Set a time that you honor - say, any time after 4pm and don't get on ...

Today we are talking about Principle #3 to Eliminating Distractions which is to screen your calls. It's ideal if you have someone answer every call since real-person response is a vital part of a successful business.

Outside of those times, you'll need to arrange a screening process to allow only the most important calls to make their way to you. I suggest reserving ...

Today we are talking about Principle #2 to Eliminating Distractions which is to discourage walk-in traffic. Granted, if you're a manager it may be more difficult to do this; but when you set specific times when you're available to talk and accept walk-ins, and times that you don't - it will help you to focus and complete tasks more efficiently. Ideally, scheduling appointments is the most effective way to go, if at all possible. For those who work at home, this rule applies ...

2026/04/16

When working with business professionals, I find that they need to have a good idea of where they are at against their goals, so they know if they are on track or off track. If they are off track, they have to figure out ways to fill the gap, so they achieve their goals. In an effort to help them stay laser focused on what they need to do to ensure they are in the highest probability position to achieve their goals – or even exceed them – I created the Business Opportunity Planner Works...

Today we are talking about strategy number 3 to help you overcome difficult issues, which is to Bite the Bullet. While it can be tempting to sweep conflict under the rug – especially if you personally dislike conflict – it is important that as the leader of your company you set an example for those looking up to you.
