I've been serious about personal development for 10+ years.

20% of your customers will produce 80% of your profit.
20% of your customers will also produce 80% of your headache.
The sooner you learn THESE AREN'T THE SAME CUSTOMERS the sooner you can grow, scale AND experience less stress.
99% of people network all wrong.
With their hand out.
Help me. Do this for me. Introduce me. Me me me me!
It’s not about you!
The way to network well:
Get good at something. Put in the work. Add value everywhere you go. Then watch your network explode.
The 4 quadrants of time management concept changed my life.
Urgent + important is where stressed out owners spend their time.
Not urgent + important is where you add long term value to your company and your life. Its also the easiest area to push to the back-burner and ignore.
3 keys to hiring and managing great employees:

#2 Simplify the job so average employees can thrive (and killer employees can crush it)
#3 Give them praise in public (it means just as much as money)
