Mp3 file is available

"If only I had more time! Then I could do all that I want to do!"

"Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein." H. Jackson Brown, Jr. quote

There are 24 hours/day, 7 days/week. That won’t change. So how do you use what time you have to create the life that you want?

The solution isn’t by figuring out how to do more stuff. It’s figuring out how to adjust your choices and decisions so that you’re doing the right stuff at the right time.

In this class you will learn:

• How to figure out what your doing right so you can do more of that
  
• How to set up a system that really works with who you are
  
• Several tools to help you make the most of your time
  
• What to do with that To Do list!

"I want to thank you for the insights that I gained at your seminar. Some of what you said did not register with me until later when I was building a new website for myself and I decided to follow your advice and ask for help from my friends. It is eye opening to realize that we often overlook resources that we have readily available to us. Thanks!"
