Stop Procrastinating and Get Moving
How are you progressing with the goals you set yourself this year? Have you made a start? Or are you still procrastinating or caught the very popular “I’m too busy” epidemic?
Let me tell you about Mary…
Mary runs her own publishing company employing 5 people.
She is married with two teenagers. When I first met Mary she told me how stressed out she was trying to juggle work and home effectively. Her business although surviving (just) could have achieved major growth except for one major factor… Mary. She was very disorganised and ran her business that way.
The 4 Hour Work Week
Hi there
I was asked for my comments about Tim Ferriss’s book on The 4 Hour Work Week and whether his tips were realistic.
You can check out the interview for news.com.au at

Have you read the book? Did you find the tips useful? What have you applied?
Post a comment on this blog. I’m sure many people would be interested to see what you have to say.
Focus On Your Strengths, Delegate Your Weaknesses
To gain more of what you want out of life you need to use your strengths and delegate your weaknesses.
One of my clients runs a mail-order business and prior to being coached by me he used to spend 90% of his time working in his business being involved in every aspect from the bookkeeping to fulfilling orders.
 His strengths lay in the development of his business and his people.
His time was being chewed up by activities he could pay other people to handle who would carry out these tasks in a fraction of the time he took.
Overwork Doesn’t Mean You’re Productive
Are you one of those people that work long hours because there’s so much to do in your business?
Overwork and stress cause everything from a lack of creativity to stress-related illnesses that diminish your effectiveness. 
A friend of mine has been in business several years and every time I speak with him, he’s always in a hurry and stressed out.
The silly thing is he wastes heaps of time doing administrative tasks which he could pay someone else to do, so he can spend his time building his business.
Get other people to do what you don’t like doing
Had a friend’s daughter come over yesterday and relabel my filing system. She did a great job.
Been procrastinating on this task since Christmas. Had tried to get my son to do it but he wasn’t interested, even though I would pay him.
Think about who you can utilise to do some of the simple jobs in your office.  From stuffing envelopes to tidying up your filing system.Â
