Running Time: 32 minutes

You can do way too many things when planning your business strategy. It's easy to get distracted and loose focus on what is most important. From my own experience, after the core goal is established, I find that I come up with so many ideas to reach that goal, that nothing is followed through, clear until the end. I will do so many different things, that nothing is ever fully completed in any useful way. This podcast episode is about staying focused, staying on target, and not letting all the random ideas pull you away from whats really important to succeed.

Running Time: 23 minutes

It's been a month since the last episode. Not to mention the complete lack of tutorials. What can I say? I have been busy, and I guess that's a good thing. One night I went off, and recorded episodes 4-8 all at once. I'm not sure what possessed me, but I am thrilled because creating the content requires me to be in the right mindset. I do have to cut this introduction short though, I have a ton of work I need to do tonight. Of course, I've been saying that for 3 weeks now.
