Hacking’s Hack: Grab your iPhone or your Samsung and look at your messages-scroll down to the very bottom as far down as old as you can get on your messages find people that you haven't connected with in a while and just send them a quick text letting them know that you're thinking about them. Tyson’s Tip: About two years ago, I started ordering from National Pen Company and people are always asking about you know, where do you get your merchandise things like that? They have high quality merchandise pens, notebooks, things like that and they're really inexpensive. I highly recommend them-National Pen Company. Worst case scenario is if you get on their mailing list, every two weeks they will send you a sample product in the mail. I just got like a notebook in the mail from them. Its actually branded with my firm's information on it, and I get something every two weeks. https://www.nextlevelbusiness.com/learn/ https://www.oliverbillson.com/ Make sure to register for MaxLawCon19, June 6 and 7 in St.Louis.

If I keep thinking about that error or that missed opportunity, and not focusing also on the things I’ve done well, my confidence is gonna take a beating. We try to train people to develop the performance mentality, that it’s about recognizing what you have done well and relentlessly improving. “Highly successful people NEVER get anything done in one given day, but what they do is, ALWAYS get their most important activities done each and every day.” Plateaus in business“Plateaus will happen. There will be times where you’re kind of in that phase of doing the work and not seeing the immediate results, but if you stay with it: 30, 60, 90 days, nailing your one most important and usually getting the 3 most important done each day, you are probably gonna find plateaus don’t last very long; that you find ways to keep moving it to the next level.” The mindset of saying noThe first step to saying no is evaluating where your time and energy are going, and in terms or relevance, what’s most important? If right now you are feeling overwhelmed, the next step is to eliminate 10% to 20% of what you are currently doing. The third step, is moving forward. The next time anyone ask you something, before saying yes, identify what will you say no to.Don’t overload yourself. Prioritize. The book Hacking’s hack: Have a podcast!
