One of the reasons you might not be as productive as you want to be is because the idea isn’t well defined. Many people who believe they are productive, are not. Not To-Dos. It is not crossing off tasks off a to-do list. No matter how many tasks you complete during a given day, you still may not have been productive with your time.

Big goals are magic. Little goals, when they are not milestones on the way to big goals, are something less than magic. While they may not be completely impotent, they lack the power of big goals. There is a magic power in goals so big they scare you. The Problem with Small Goals. A small goal doesn’t require you to transform. It doesn’t possess the power to cause you to take massive action.

It is vital that you respect your client. But it is equally important that you don’t fear your clients—or your prospects.
