One of the primary assets of genius is time mastery. \[Time management is so old-school; the true sport is to master it\]. Watch someone stuck in a victim mentality and a life of scarcity and you’ll see they waste their time. On the other side are the rare-air few who get amazing projects done, dominate their domains via their skill and lead lives of boundless joy and fulfillment \[because service is the DNA of happiness\]. The Top 5% of producers, guard their time fiercely. They are up early, have clear daily plans, run elite performance routines and alternate bursts of extreme productivity with periods of deep rest so they sustain their A-Game over a lifetime. My latest book “The Wealth Money Can’t Buy” is full of fresh ideas and original tools that I’m absolutely certain will cause quantum leaps in your positivity, productivity, wellness, and happiness.

Hi, thanks for being with me. This podcast episode is all about what I call the productivity philosophy. I will jump right in for you and I'll start with an idea which is energy is more important than intelligence.

Third and final idea I won't offer to you is meaning. So I want you to find a cause that's larger than yourself and donate the rest of your life for it.
