You Want More Time and Energy? Invest in Your Health!

You always hear the saying "Health Is Wealth". Investing in your health is not free. You invest in supplements, fitness and great food and it is all worth it since you will have more energy and and extended happy life. The goal in life is to invest in assets. Time is as an asset that doesn't come back and you probably want to spend your time doing the things you always wanted to do like sports, travel, family or music.

Yes your health is an investment. If you rather go to that movie or out to expensive dinner, or spend money on something else that is not buying you time, you need to be aware that there is a price to that. It is lack of energy and expensive health bills.

If you don't invest in your health now, you will be spending a lot more money on meds, doctor appointments and basically doing nothing since you will have no energy! It has been said that 85% of medical expenses are spent in the last 10-20 years of your life. You may think you are saving money now by not investing in your health, but you will pay later.




So do an assessment on what you spend your money on.  Do you spend $10 a day on a couple of Starbucks?  The average daily vitamin dose is less than $1 a day.   Do you spend $15 on a fast food dinner?  For less than $10, you can make a healthy salad with lean meat.  How about that $6 ice cream or diet coke?  Instead for less than $2 a nutrition shake, you get your sweet fix and some nutrients at the same time.  It is your choice, so stop wasting time and energy and invest in your health.

Networking Is Your Key to Success w/ Mass Professional Networking

 If you’re like most people, you know that networking can boost your profile and grow your professional opportunities. In fact, 95% of professionals say that in-person communication is essential for long-term business!

This begs the question, what are you currently doing to foster new connections in your business network?

Perhaps you’re active on LinkedIn or you’re a member of an online networking group?

Or maybe you’re one of the 25% of people that don’t invest any time in networking?

Whether you’re an active networker or not, the fact remains that we’re naturally wired to maintain personal relationships. And that’s in-person, personal relationships!

If you’re looking for a fast way to increase your brand visibility, generate leads, and gain expert advice, then it’s time you put your networking hat on. Plus, you’ll also have the opportunity to meet like-minded people and have fun along the way!

When At A Networking Event, Ditch The Sales Pitch.... NOW!

 Have you ever gone to a networking event and it feels like you wish you got those couple of hours back into your life.   You worked the room hoping to build professional relationships, but instead, you are pitched some great insurance, a vacuum cleaner or some brain vitamin that is going to save your life.  Not once were you able to even mention your name, never mind what you have to offer.  After all, it is about them not you.


Unfortunately, the sales pitch at networking events whether online on Zoom or in person has given professional networking a bad rap.   I know we are told that you need to network when you need a new job, a new client or to survive and not lose your house.  However, if you make it all about you and your product/service without having a professional conversation, you are going to lose the whole concept of networking and fast.



So what can you do?

First, lose the pitch and get to know me.

I don't care about your product or service, but I do like to know about what kind of music you like, who is your favorite sport team is or where you grew up.  We might have some common interests, you never know.  And if we do, then guess what, I may start to trust you.

Second, offer advice.

I have had some amazing conversations with professionals at my events.   What has worked and not worked in the world of marketing, how can I save on taxes or even how was that last shark tank episode.  Again, the conversation is light and engaging.

Third, don't introduce yourself with your elevator pitch

Professionals don't go to networking events to listen to a bunch of television commercials.  That is why Tivo was invented, to skip the commercials.   It make you think you wished you had a clicker in your hand at the event to fast forward through those sales pitches.   The general public does not care about that product or service, but they do care about what your favorite music is.



Finally, have fun networking.

Stop thinking you need to score some business and be positive, influencial and fun at an event.   People will remember you and want to get to know you if you stand out.  If they like you, they will look you up on LinkedIn and know what you do/sell etc.   Don't be the opposite and cause people to cring when you speak.



I like to leave you with some great resources, just click the link to go to each article for some additional tips on Business Networking:

Ok, now go build some quality relationships and LOSE THE ELEVATOR PITCH!!!

Bonus - Get To Know Me:  I like classic rock music, graduated Northeastern University and love the Boston Red Sox!



What is More Valuable Than Money? Your Time.

 Everyone gets the same 24 hours in a day, but it's what we do with those 1440 minutes that separates the successful from the stagnant. If you want to edge out the competition, hit your goals and achieve more than the week should allow, these 5 big tips should help.



1. Think like a lazy person. Is it quicker to load a dishwasher or to personally scrub every single utensil? The result is the same, regardless of how you get there, but the effort involved is drastically different. Josephine Cochran's 19th century attempt to first apply water pressure to plates wasn't just innovative, it was lazy. She didn't want to hand wash every single spoon and found a way to do it more efficiently.


Instead of simply sitting down to do tedious work, see if you can find a way to make the work less tedious. Create workflows, automations and innovations that allow you to do more with less effort, then use that time tackling the next problem. By the time you take a break to look back you will realize that you are miles ahead of the competition.


2. Don't do your tasks in order. The risk with to-do lists is that most people assume they must be completed linearly. When it comes to these chores, it isn’t wise to simply start at the top. Instead, apply time estimations to every item. Find yourself with ten minutes between meetings? Knock-off a tiny task. Plane delayed by two hours? Tackle a larger item. Do what you can when you can and be amazed by what you can accomplish throughout the day.




3. Maximize transit time. Instead of staring out your cabin window on a plane, scrolling through Instagram in an Uber, or people-watching on the subway, make travel work for you. Commuting can be great for replying to emails, prepping for upcoming meetings and, when all else fails, continuing education. Skip the in-flight movie and listen to a podcast, make your way through a leadership book or read some articles written by experts. The idea is to treat every moment spent sitting as an opportunity.



4. Consider the ROI. Every time you think about committing to something, consider the potential return on investment. Grabbing a drink with an old friend may sound like a good use of time, but is it really? If getting buzzed with a buddy takes away from your work, family or education, it may not be worth the investment. Ask yourself if the reward justifies the cost. Rest and relaxation is, of course, important---but anything you do strictly out of obligation may not be worth the time spent, and it is ok to say "no" when the ROI is not favorable.


5. Outsource the rest. Most business leaders want to think that they need to be heavily involved in every aspect of their ventures, but the cold reality (and hacky cliche) is that trying to be a jack of all trades makes you a master of none. Instead, figure out what your superpower is and develop that until absolutely no one can do it better than you. Do not concern yourself with the things you do not naturally excel at. Find people that excel in areas that you are weak and let them fly. Something magical happens when you find what you are good at and outsource the rest---everything moves faster! When you get the proper people in the right roles, no one will be bogged down by things that challenge them. Everything gets streamlined and the results can be truly astounding.
