Asking for Help
One of the biggest struggles in our journey to success — something many of us can relate to — is the idea that in order for something to be done well, we have to do it by ourselves. The thinking goes something like this: we wish we could get quality help for our project or our business, but we know that we could do what needs to be done faster, better, and exactly how we envision it to be done, so we might as well do it ourselves.

4 (Easy) Ways to Becoming More Productive
Being more productive creates a life that is more successful. Successful people are good producers.
People who take my success-training classes tell me that the number one reason that stops them from being more productive is procrastination.

However, the uncomfortable truth is that when we procrastinate, we usually are creating more work and more strain for ourselves down the road.
So how do we learn to become more productive, and procrastinate less?
The answer is surprisingly simple – we need to do more of what works, and less of what doesn’t. How? We train ourselves to act in different ways. Simple, right? But not always easy! Even though these are simple ideas, they can have a profound impact in the effectiveness of each day.
