Valuable information

I heard Dan speak recently and got a copy of his book. I WANT more time to do things that make me happy. My husband and i own a business and for the last 10 years have run ourselves in to the ground doing so. There’s some great methods presented here. Some of them immediately doable, some of them require a good bit of money to take advantage of. Overall, worth the read if you’re interested in reducing chaos and increasing order in your business and personal life. I’m excited about implementing the ones that I can!
