Good Words

"My journey with you has been an amazing learning experience which I enjoy and value.  You are a consummate professional and I appreciate our relationship."

These were the words that greeted me in this morning's email, from a coaching client who is a CFO and on the board of directors of a public company. I've been working with him for about six months.

It's always great to know that I'm helping someone.

Set for Maximum Productivity

Setup for Maximum Productivity: monster 65 inch Samsung monitor driven by MacBook Pro via HDMI cable, wireless Magic Keyboard, wireless Magic Trackpad, and wireless Magic Mouse. 

On the monitor, top left, clockwise:
1. Business Plan
2. Email
3. "The System" (my not-so-secret weapon... see This Link.)
4. Calendar
5. YouTube video of calming seascapes.
(Not shown: YouTube calming classical music)

Also noteworthy are the Baffin down booties... gotta keep the feet warm!  :)

Update: 1/2/2017 - Using the MacBook Pro for the on-screen video and the background music seems to diminish the responsiveness of the Mac, so I offloaded the video to a nearby iPad, and the audio to a nearby iPhone 6 (without SIM card) not being used for testing. This made a major difference.

Of course, my iPhone 7 is also close at hand, and is running ToBeWise Pro, giving me great motivational/inspirational notifications every hour, along with a reminder to Breathe. Smile. Move around. See http://ToBeWise.co

Book me!

Select a time you want to schedule:

15 Minutes    30 Minutes    1 Hour    2 Hours

You will then be shown my calendar and given options
for dates/times where that amount of time is available.

I look forward to working with you!

Version 7 of "The System" has big New Year upgrade

Continuously improved for the last 2 years, Version 7 is now available:

1. Extensive use of personalized drop-down lists for fast data entry without using keyboard. This improvement makes the System much easier on mobile devices.

2. Additional Details column with custom drop-down lists for more granular analysis.

3. Additional "Hidden" rows for multiple entries (see Sales, Prod Dev., etc)

4. Total Productive Time calculation added.

5. Many cosmetic changes, to highlight most productive activities, the Purpose and the Score.

Shown is the complete daily checklist I'm currently using (shown as of 11AM today). My Score for the last couple of days has been over 80,000. I'm still shooting for 100,000, but I want to achieve it without stress. 

Note the photo of my son and daughter, who I think of as my inspiration for wanting to do the best I can. And speaking of "doing my best", that is a phrase borrowed with great appreciation from Marshall Goldsmith. Just saying those words to myself adds extra power to my actions. Try it!

Ask and you shall receive

Steve Jobs video clip on why it is so important to Ask!
It's all about having the courage to risk failure, rejection, etc.
And taking Action!

ToBeWise: there's an app for that. Free!

If only there were an app that would start us on the path of Success in Life and in Business...

That thought has occupied my mind for a long time, starting 31 years ago. For much of the past year, I've been working on just such a thing, and as of just a couple of days ago, it's now available for iPhone/iPad users, in the App Store.

I call it ToBeWise, because, well, it's the best name I came up with, after considering a lot of others. The name describes the Result you will achieve by using the app: wisdom.

Wisdom:

the ability to think and act using knowledge, experience, understanding, common sense, and insight. 

Wikipedia

Imagine if you had that ability... pretty cool, right? The big challenge with having wisdom is that it takes a lot to Time to develop it, a lot of knowledge and experience just doesn't happen overnight, and most people just never develop enough of it to truly succeed in Life and Business.

You'd have to read tons of books, and have lots of years of major and varied life and business experiences, and then pull them all together to build your understanding to the level that it all became common sense to you, and from then on you could think and act in ways that would appear to others to be simply effortless insight... as if everything you did were easy and right on point.

If only there were a way to take a short cut through all the reading and study and get the basics internalized without effort. If only there were a way to channel the most successful and intelligent people who ever lived...  if only there were an app for that!  Well, there is!  

Start at ToBeWise.co and follow the simple system of 2 minutes in the morning and 2 minutes at night. Easy. Simple. Highly effective. Free.
