Lance Tamashiro returns to the show (he was one of our earliest interviews) to talk about finding the sweet spot for your productivity, your day, your emotional state-of-mind and your online business. We talk about how to get excited, how to deal with any personal issue you have (step 1: vocalize it, step 2: get perspective, step 3: listen to advice).
Don’t keep a to-do list, use an online calendar, get a coach, complete some daily actions, move closer to the goal, and remember: somehow you’ve made it through your difficulties up till now.
Quotes:
“If everything is a top priority for your business, then nothing is a priority. Not everything can be the top priority. There has to be one or three things that are the top priority for that day.” – Lance Tamashiro
“Your business is either growing or dying. It’s never staying the same.” – Lance Tamashiro
“Don’t beat yourself up because you’re not where you think you need to be or not making the progress you think you should be making.” – Lance Tamashiro
