How many of us have unfinished projects, ideas or marketing efforts just sitting around unfinished because we lack the time management skills to be able to complete the task. I know I have fallen victim to that trap many of times. Luckily over the years I have developed a pretty good system for managing my time and accomplishing big tasks and on this episode I sit down with my friend Yves Gege to discuss the strategy.

This might be the most important podcast I have ever made. This week I am going to talk about compounding interest and how your basically dumb if you aren't utilizing it to your benefit.

Check out this episode find out how a continuity program can change your business and make your more successful than you ever thought you could be.

Are you charing what you are worth? I recently found out that I wasn't. We charge $200 per hour and that is not what we are worth.

Check out this episode to find out how to start charing what you are worth as a PT.
