Description

When doing more isn’t the right move—and how it can actually prove counter-productive.How to apply 20% thinking to your business growth moves.Using consistency in making outbound development calls (to prospects, media and your Authority Circle) to avoid the desperation zone.Becoming aware of where you’re getting your dopamine hits—and managing them.Why strategy trumps all (and what to do if you don’t have one).Quotables“You've done your 20% for the day that produces 80% of the result.

It’s how we build trust.”—RM“I think some people put a level of effort into social media that probably doesn't produce much.”—JS“The prescription, if you don't have a strategy, is to get one right now.”—RM
