Simplify your focus to grow our business: 3 Priorities for the quarter. Break those down to 3 for the month, 3 for the week, for 3 today. Get everyone in your org to do that, you'll be way ahead of your competitors. #ship30for30 #entrepreneurs #growthhacking

Some questions to help you see forest through the trees: - What are 3 things I can do in next 90 days to make 50% diff in where I will end the year? - What 1 thing should I be spending 60% of my time on? (w/o that much time, that thing will probably just be mediocre) #ship30for30

Want to hire better people? Simply use Lencioni's 3 "ideal team player" attributes: Humble, Hungry, and people smart. These 3 will get you a long ways even w/o hiring based on core values. #ship30for30 #SmallBusiness #hiring

Entrepreneur stages: - What should I do? Task focused - How can we do that? Problem focused - Where should we go? Vision focused - Who can we hire? People (who) focused #ship30for30 #entrepreneurs

A "conceptual thinker" can be given a vague project that works towards a clear vision and will create amazing results. Hire more of those for leadership.

Want to start reading more? Here are 3 easy steps: - Use your commute to listen to audio books - put a kindle (with backlight) next to your bed, NOT your phone. Read it before bed. - Put time on the calendar, just read a couple pages every day. #ship30for30 #readmore

Here are 2 ways I turn off my "work" brain so I can think more about family: - Listen to a non-business book on the way home. Fiction works great. - Never open your email or social before getting to work in the morning. Use something like Freedom.to to block those.
