S1 Ep 1115 counterintuitive ways I do less and win more

I finally missed publishing a podcast episode yesterday. I broke my streak at 110 episodes. I was in Vegas for business, yet I still woke up early as usual.

I love my creative process and I don’t want to let you down.&nbsp;But I realized that sometimes doing less was actually a way we can all win more.&nbsp;So I took the extra time in the early morning and compiled more notes and ideas for episodes.&nbsp;By being forced to slow down for a day, I actually came out of it feeling like we all won.&nbsp;That got me thinking about all of the ways I could do less to win more.

S1 Ep 106How I throw the competition off my scent

I did a podcast episode a couple days ago where I shared how I discovered a way of stealing ultra hot leads from the competition.&nbsp;It turns out if you track recent follows on Twitter and LinkedIn, you will be shocked by how many sales/marketing people and CEOs follow people after they have a first sales call or in-person meeting. So we would track recent follows and then call on these same people, and usually hear, "Great timing! We’re thinking about this service right now!" I also mentioned how startups of 8 or less are the easiest and give away the most information. Like shooting fish in a barrel.&nbsp;So the question then is asking how do you play defense so nobody steals your own company leads? &nbsp;Please hit the&nbsp;subscribe button&nbsp;so that you do not miss any future episodes.Thanks for all of the incredible support &amp; reviews!
