You don’t have time NOT to do this.
**** I’ve gotten about a dozen replies to the Revenue Rhythm Program emails. Most aren’t saying “no.” They’re saying “not yet.” And the reason is almost always the same: “I don’t have time for this right now.” I get it. I really do. You’re slammed. Your calendar is full.

The Heartbeat of High Performance: Finding Your Operating Rhythm.
