Testimonials
"My husband and I purchased your book late last year. First off, I have to say how much we value your book - it's truly fantastic and worth the price. You have convinced us that a bigger do jang is not the way for us to go. Your advice on billing and consultation is invaluable. Thank you so much."

* Spending time with people you really don’t care for - aka, “energy takers”
* Letting others waste your time
* Starting projects, getting distracted, then starting them over again
* Reading frivolous and unimportant magazine or news articles
* Watching TV (for some, the biggest time thief - in my opinion, it’s also the main reason for the “dumbing down” of America…)
It can be pretty frightening when you think about how much time you actually waste in a day. Now, think about how much more efficient you would be, and how much more quality, unadulterated free time you would have if you managed your time better.
Instead of working extra hours in the studio, you might be out playing at the park, relaxing at the pool, going to see a movie with your friends and loved ones, and doing other fun stuff.
So, let’s work on some time management skills to see how to increase your productivity. The first step is to set priorities. Here’s how:
