In this funny episode, I share a personal story involving my daughter Lilly and her irresistible love for Reese's peanut butter cups. This amusing yet insightful tale from our family life leads to a broader discussion about the concept of willpower being a depletable resource. I explore how this understanding can profoundly impact both our personal and professional lives. From managing simple daily tasks to executing business strategies, this episode delves into practical ways to effectively utilize our willpower, ensuring we don't exhaust it on less important matters.
Takeaways:
By wisely managing our willpower as a limited resource and strategically organizing our lives, we can enhance our productivity and achieve greater results with less effort.

Then he decided to practice what he preached. After years of seeing the need for video marketing, he started creating Explainer Videos for Busy Professionals in 2015. That part-time business is now a full-time business with proven systems and a team. Using those real-world experiences, I have created a boatload (well not a real boat, but you get the picture) of resources for you below, so you can start doing more by doing less!
