What does it cost you to be efficient? Well, certainly it doesn’t cost you anything, right? Efficiency SAVES money, all business owners know that. But efficiency is also a favorite procrastination excuse for many people.

I lost a good friend once because of some things I said in anger. I bought a house I really couldn’t afford because I absolutely fell in love with it. I joined poor business opportunities because I was excited about making tons… Continue reading
