Dwight Peters (Twitter: @BackersHub) www.BackersHub.com Productivity is key to success - the difference between
winners and losers is the time devoted to taking action. As an entrepreneur,
taking action can seem so overwhelming as there are always a million and one
things that need to be done. The best recommendation I have for any
entrepreneur is build a team, sell people on the vision of what you are trying to
build - get them involved and learn how to effectively delegate. If you want to
go quick, go alone - but if you want to go far, go together. Building an effective
team that understands their role is better than any app I can recommend.

for determining how I spend my time that I'd like to share. One, I spent the time
determining my purpose. It is to always find ways to donate, educate, inspire,
motivate and entertain. How I determine what to say no to (so I can free time to
say yes to things that are in line with my purpose) is I ask myself if the task will
be in line with any of those purpose items. If the answer is no, then it's an easy
NO and doesn't make it's way on to my to-do list. If it's 3 or above then it
becomes a solid YES and makes its way onto my to-do list. If it's in-between a
1-3 then I evaluate further to decide. The second thing I did (and re-visit often) is
make a list of the people I surround myself with (clients, friends, other) and
place a Plus (+) sign beside the ones adding positivity and value and a Negative
(-) sign beside the ones that are bringing negativity and perhaps not bringing
value (professionally and perhaps personally) and I adjust accordingly so that
I'm spending my time with the people who are bringing positivity and value and
therefore to do list items that add value overall Corey Poirier is an international bestselling author, award winning keynote TEDx speaker, and host of a top rated personal development radio showJoe Pulizzi (Twitter: @JoePulizzi) www.joepulizzi.com Plan your content creation in advance. Most people think
in content tactics, like publishing a blog or a Facebook post. It's best to think in
stories, and how many ways you can tell that story—an article, a blog, a book, a
webinar, multiple social media posts, an ebook, a podcast and more. The time
savings are immense if you only plan in advance.
