In conjunction with this month’s blog, my video explored the need to conduct at least 3 hours of deep work each day.
To help you target a minimum of 3 hours of deep work daily, here are some great productivity hacks I’ve discovered and adopted.

The Opportunity Cost of Time
Give People a Taste of Your Products & Services before they Buy
A key lesson I learned in my early marketing training was to offer people an opportunity to try your products and services.
By giving them a free sample of your service or product, they get to sample a little bit of you’ without the pressure of buying from you.
In this blog, I outline some tips on how to give people a taste of your business before they buy. It is amazing how people surrender to curiosity about what you do when the pay wall is initially removed.
