Are you too Busy to be Productive? Why customers shouldn’t be your first priority
Time is a leader's most precious resource. When used wisely, a leader's time will serve to increase profits, boost morale, and serve the greater interests of society.

Passing Up Good for Great
Work/life balance requires surrender of part of one area - whether it's time spent on work or time spent on personal matters - in favor of the other.

Maturity requires us to recognize that perhaps we can have it all (though that too is open to question), but we certainly can't have it all at the same time. The single most useful skill for deciding how to arrange this work/life balance is the ability to pass up good for great. Learning that skill requires that we be able to recognize what's good and what's great, to identify appropriate time frames to help with the good/great evaluation, and to guard our decisions zealously.

Here is a series of stories about people having the great fortune to be “at the right place at the right time,” and the stories show a comparison of two time frames for achieving success. The first timeline is the 10 year/10,000 hour theory that defines the time period it took Bill Joy, Bill Gates and a musical artist to hit their stride.
