A new year, whenever you celebrate it, is a chance to look forward and think about what you want to accomplish in the new year.
Harmony and Holidays

R Is For Removal (Of Distractions)
If you want to be more productive, it’s necessary to spend some time each day focusing on the important, mission-critical tasks that only you as the business owner can do. Other things can be delegated, outsourced, or automated.
