3 Value Bombs

1. Intentionality is your superpower. You can drastically improve your clarity, productivity, and revenue by planning just 5 minutes a day and a week.

2. Gamify your business. By creating “games” around yearly, weekly, daily, and 25-minute work blocks, you make productivity both fun and effective.

3. Alliances outperform cold outreach. Partnering with aligned audiences through collaboration can transform your lead generation strategy.
