As we approach the holidays, it’s time to take your game to its next level. Expand your capacity today. It starts with NO EXCUSES and also includes these five tips:
1. Hire an assistant or a virtual assistant. Stop doing anything that is under your hourly rate.

5. Track your time every day for one week. See where you are wasting time. You will discover lots of free or wasted time. This is where you can expand your capacity.
