- The Sandwich No One Wants To Eat
Nobody likes a sandwich that's all bread and no spread.
Any worthy sandwich needs a nice even layer of your favorite condiment from crust to crust.
The same goes for how we manage our time.
When you spread yourself too thin – you make a sandwich that no one wants to eat.
Productivity suffers, stress levels rise, and work-life balance becomes an afterthought.
That's why it's essential to be selective in what you sign on for, and learn how to say NO.
It’s an all too common mistake to think being driven means saying yes to every opportunity that comes your way.
Without being selective and prioritizing, your workload can become unmanageable, and every task gets less and less of your attention.
Prioritizing what's most important to you and your goals, and what allows you to use your time as efficiently and effectively as possible.
Rather than trying to accomplish it ALL, focus on accomplishing just your highest leverage goals with 110%.
With everything the more we put into any given task, the more we get in return.
And if you’re looking for some serious returns, prioritize your tasks by the potential they hold, and give them everything you’ve got in order of importance.

Is Your Business Holding You Hostage?
Does it feel like your business has you hostage?
Like you’ve got to be plugged in 24/7?
Pulling your phone out every time your kids want to play…
Feeling constant “phantom vibrations”...
Frantically checking on leads, desperate to convert at least one today…
That’s how I felt. And It sucked.
Because I didn’t create my business to serve it…
I created it to free me from the 9-5 grind so I could do more things that mattered to me…
Like spending (focused) time with my family and serving my community.
But I ended up tied down to my phone…
Until I broke the code of email marketing.
After that, my world changed in an instant.
I went from being an overworked, underpaid, gun for hire…
To building a profitable business that attracts leads, builds trust with them and converts them while I volunteer with a local youth sports league.
Does that sound like something you want?
Maybe you want more time to volunteer with your church, travel the world helping non-profits…
Or maybe more sales enable you to give to the causes that matter to you…
Whatever your vision is—email marketing can help get you there.
It cost me hundreds of thousands of dollars and a lot of years to get my systems dialed in…
And I don’t want you to wait any longer to find the same freedom. So I’m offering to help.
You can fill out this form and we will help you get started.
Rooting for ya!
