Interesting, that is very interesting! I am loving what i am seeing rite now. You are a great writer my buddy, keep it up.

Thank you for exposing me to these great speakers and some very profitable material.
Fantastic panel and top rate content!

As always, I got so many great things from the League session. But this time I will narrow it down to one. Julie Morgensterns comparison of our schedules to a closet. Organizing out time is the same as organizing a physical space. There is a finite amount of minutes just as there is a finite amount of square footage in a closet. You can only fit a certain amount in each.

That being said, if you organize your time haphazardly, you run the risk of not knowing what’s what. If you start organizing you might find out that you are repeating tasks unnecessarily like having 5 pairs of identical black slacks hanging in your closet.

This is definitely something I NEED to work on.

Thanks Rich, Jay and all the panelists.

I have managed to listen to all of the broadcasts so far and view it as part of my working day. Well what an eye opener particularly the last one on time management. I have run several ‘traditional’ style (don’t use the term small as it is a state of mind) businesses. The League of Extraordinary Minds broadcasts could not have come at a better time for me as I launch my first internet based business. I have implemented many of the suggestions and much of the advice the result, my time management skills are already showing signs of improvement. Thank you Rich and Jay Just keep it coming.

It all seems to come down to one thing SYSTEMS if we all have systems in place
for all our daily work and planing for going forward we be on the right track.
SO how about a program on system building i think this will help us put all this great information together as i am getting information over load.
Dont get me wrong with out this information i would be still in the dark.
So once again i thank you Rich and Jay for putting this all together for us.

Would you like to get up every morning with a fresh perspective on your business, listening to the Panels brings me that without the need for a brain transplant. Thanks Rich & Jay for putting out such a fantastic meeting of the minds.

John Brodeur

Wow great content Rich and Jay. And Rich I also appreciated your opening up about your thinking style… And I’m gonna start a journal too!

The best take-out for me was if I’m multi-tasking then I’m not leveraging my time as best I could. So more delegation for me!

I can’t wait for more!

This session was helpful for me because it allowed me to see different perspectives on productivity. The different perspectives gave me a lot to think about and change to enhance my preformance. I am excited to implement some of the suggestions. I would recommend the League to any business owner looking for little ah ha’s in business. The speakers provide a lot of useful information that will shape your business. Thanks for putting this together.

Interesting. Many of the suggestions are things I will start to implement first thing Monday morning! I was skeptical at first but then realized that many of the speakers understand exactly what I am going through as an business owner.

The session on productivity was truly amazing! I loved the diversity of the panelists and felt that each gave me tools that were immediately implementable and also some that were excellent food for thought. I especially enjoyed the way each speaker shared their passion for helping people specifice to their area of expertise. I would recommend the entire League of Extraordinary Minds series to fellow entrepreneurs for the high quality content and speakers who really know their stuff. Thank you for putting together the kind of series that’s perfect for transitioning into 2010 and beyond! ~ Denise

One of the most important ways of finding solutions to the problems in a particular business niche is to look at how similar situations are handled in other types of enterprise. The League of Extraordinary Minds series exposure to a wide range of thoughts on business success. One can then take these and apply them to the specific concerns in one’s business.

I will be tracking my time for a feew days and (I’m sure) will see immediately where I am losing time or spending it in the wrong areas. I liked the idea of planning for next week +2, for tomorrow +2 as a way to provide context in which to determine priorities and avoid ‘unnecessary urgencies’. I will do that immediately! Finally, I especially resonated with the idea of choice- choose to start! The quote that a business is a reflection of its owner made me think- I might not like that reflection! So, its time to CHOOSE a better one…

Thank you for offering these sessions- they are great and I KNOW they will help me be more successful!

First of all, thank you very, very much for the opportunity to listen to the webinar through the weekend. It made much more convenient to work with.

With my hectic but exciting schedule this week it has been just a gift.

And there are a lot of prompts for my business activity – I will definitely come back and learn more!

Good stuff. Foundational stuff. Now to implement… starting with the unshedule and the email!

The speakers on the webinar are always terrific and this time, #5 was very important to shrink my wasted time on e-mail. Hopefully, I can now Learn to pull away from e-mail addiction and avoid the first hour of answering e-mail and concentrate on my highest priority of my business — do that first.
Thanks

Once again Rich Schefren and Jay Abraham bring together some of the top people in different industries to truly build a MASTERMIND. The information has been great. Thanks Rich and Jay.

Hi Rich and Jay,
All the Panel discussions and especially Panel number 5 was, as always, eye opening and as a result, I realize that I am under going a big re-evaluation about business goals and strategies. LOEM has been the best thing that has happened to me during the preparation to launch my own business online, and has helped me get on track. I think that LOEM is better than a business school, as the world and its economy continues to grow and change at a rapid rate.
Your choice of experts and professionals to interview is very wide ranging and offers a fascinating view of small business and corporate world up close, something that we have not heard much about before. What I love are the choice of options offered, different opinions and the lines that pull on a new paradigm of thinking, closer to our natural ourselves (and how our brains work!) and work equaling a fair value.
Thank you much for this opportunity, it continues to give me a whole load of motivation and hope!
best

Until the moment this one was the most valuable session.

I think all the question related tho procrastination e time management are of vital importance to the internet marketer working from home, where is more difficult to allocate time from superfluous tasks.

Hi Rich & Jay

This week’s panel was a great help to me. They were right on the button about procrastination, scheduling, focus, strategies, delegation, etc.

I liked it, and I have already set up my un-scheduler for tomorrow. Jim’s comments about jumping out of the plane were especially good – you just ahve to make the decision yourself. If someone is always pushing you, then when they stop, you grind to a halt. No more waiting for someone to help me – I gotta take the first steps

Thanks, I appreciate it

PS I can’t get the ‘tell a friend’ page to work. The bonuses would be good if I could get them, but better if some current and former colleagues could benefit from this great array of wisdom and insight

There were so many great take- aways, but the IMAGE of task saturation, the logging of your un-schedule and that you have 3 choices stand out the most for me. Thank you for sharing such great content.

Darlene

I want to personally thank you Jay & Rich. I do not know how you get such great panel of experts, but keep it coming. I especially liked the discussion about procrastination. There was a lot I can take back to the office and fiter into everyones “work plate”.

By the way, my plate is very full of exciting plans thanks to your over flowing knowledge “you feed us”.

See you next Thursday.

What I got from League of Minds: Cut back on distractions. Cut back on the desire to help everyone else accomplish what they need to accomplish. Get done what you need to accomplish and what you can do best. After that, you can help everyone else.

I never thought about procrastinating as anything more than just putting something off for too long. I never thought that more often than not there was probably a bigger reason for putting some particular thing off.
That of course was only ONE thing of thousands and thousands of helpful hints and tips to be a better business owner.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!

Very big thanks Rich, Jay and the panelists! May God bless you all!

All the ideas were great and enlightening. What strike me most was the “third choice” discussed by Dr. Fiore. As what I understand he said that when we encounter a difficult situation to decide to choose something (action,things, etc.),this made us paralyzed which lead us to procrastinate for a short or ever longer period of time. He very well uttered that there is a “Third choice” that we should make that will move us to do the right action/decission.

Again thanks to this precious webcast.

The concept of scheduling a start time and not worrying about when you have to finish by was awesome.
I waste so much time thinking about what I need to finish that I only get done a fraction of what I could have if I just focused on getting started. Thank you for the extraordinarily powerful mindset shift.

This is just what I needed. I’m guilty of multi tasking, which I am going to stop NOW.

The panel helped me to identify how I’m sabotaging my success.

I have many ideals and plans. I’ve recently hired a VA to help me. That is a relief, now I can focus on implementing my plans and ideals which will make a major impact on my income and lifestyle.

PS. Why do you have this popping up during the call? I have to stop listening to answer the questions. Now I’m multi tasking again.

Jay and Rich,
You are a kind of both Mick Jagger and James Brown of modern business consulting. If one prefer clasic, can be Mozart of present time. This Panel, not surprise, again proofs incredibly unique quality in all possible aspects. All smoothly based on universal principles of human life. That’s leadership.

I cannot afford much of this terrific stuff on the internet, but it still amazes me – how much stuff one can get pick up for the effort and no cost.
Here are just a few of my takeaways:
1. T+F+A = R ( Thoughts + Feeling + Action = Results).
2. A cluttered schedule is like a cluttered workarea.
3. Don’t multitask.
4. Don’t taskswitch excessively.
5. Unscheduled time…. I use something like this in my work calendar, we schedule times for doing all sorts of weird things – that aren’t strictly speaking work.
6. What are we not spending enough time on?
7.What are we spending too much time on?
8. What are we not doing – we should be doing?
9. What are we doing but we don’t need to be doing?
10. Power of the debrief after each task or assignment.

Thanks alot Rich and Jay,

You have provided the extraordinary people to your program that provided me the insight with new ideas and new way of thinking that builds in me some steping stone into what I am doing with my charity work.

I am looking forward in starting my own business to subport my family and my charity work very soon. All the help that you have provided has built the crossing bridge to future dreams!!!

THANDS A MILLION!!!

Thank you once again for a great webinar!
Well, if I have to choose one thing than I picked up from this session, it must be the long-known truth that multitasking is not the way to go. We can only do one thing at a time and therefore it is not smart to try to do more than one thing at a time. You know that when one tries to sit on two chairs at the same time, he ends up sitting on the floor, right? Well, similarly when we try to do more than one thing at a time to save time in the end waste time and get little done.
So, once again, thank you!

I really appreciate Rich & Jay for bringing together these brilliant individuals. It always amazes me how “common sense” it sounds when I hear brilliant people articulate so eloquently.
I am far removed from being able to stay away from email because I buy leads and need to check consistently although I do what I can to eliminate the junk.
Its paradoxical how we went from being fascinated and endeared with this info highway. Now that we’re out here in the middle of all the traffic it seems to be too much, too fast.
Doing what I can to pare down the information hunger and get back to the side of the road.
Thanks for the great organizational and time management ideas!

Fantastic insight on procrastination and the business mind. There are only so many minutes in the day and taking control of your time is essential. Thank you for opening us up to such great minds and leaders in the world of business.

- Willie G.

One thing I see myself struggling with is doing a lot of things at the same time. It’s true that at the end of the day, I get surprised that I have started to work on many tasks but have only finished a few or sometimes even none. What a waste of precious time!

I appreciate the speaker’s simple yet very effective way of convincing me that multi-tasking doesn’t really work and how one should look at a set of tasks before him to be able to efficiently complete them.

help — The summary is still not loading on the site that rich gave us!!!!!

It was great to join the League to get exposure to some of the great minds in business that I knew little about but have so much to offer. I really enjoyed having different points of view shared on a single topic which allowed me to pick and choose what resonated with me.

From this panel I thought Julie’s metaphor of “closet space” and her 3-day/week arc” were golden nuggets particularly relevant to my situation. I also thought Neil’s focus on the power of “choice” has helped me look at all the “choices” that I’m constantly making in my business.

These insights will benefit my life by helping me to decide what I can do today to help my business grow and schedule my actions steps in an empowering way, where I build on my daily successes as opposed to sinking due to overwhelm.

Productivity is power and this panel alone has added hundreds of dollars to my business a month.

If you’re unsure and haven’t heard of some of the giants in this program I encourage you to take this risk-free opportunity to expand your mind. The value is undeniable.

PS: Unfortunately I can’t open the summary of the call, and I would love to hear your thoughts and take-outs, Jay and Rich!

Hi Rich and Jay! I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all of the panels, but the information from this group was just what I needed to hear right now. I put together a mini-summary of the things that I felt helped me the most out of what each person shared.

Nancy: 1) Set up an environment and support system to keep me goal driven 2)Exercise vigorously on a daily basis. Frontal lobes are positively affected by exercise 3)Be vigilant to set up my environment to remember what my goals are in the next 5 minutes and the next day. If I don’t I will find something else to do that will make me feel productive that may not correspond with my goals.

Jim: 1)Have a high resolution, detailed picture or place to execute in to. 2)Know the most important priority when I’m task saturated and shed everything but the priority list 3) Have a basic continuous imporvement process a)planning b)briefing the plan c)execute d)debrief e) use what you learned from the current project to make the next project better.

Jan: 1)We must have clear concrete long and short term goals, have focus, avoid mindless distractions, delegate appropriately, get out from behind our computer and meet people 2)Every entrepreneur must have a terrific website that drives current or potential business and is selling while they are sleeping 3) Being an entrepreneur is wonderful, but you hve to make peak productivity a commitment because that job or the unemployment line is just around the corner (my comment: YIKES!)

Dave: 1)We never really multitask, it is really switchtasking 2) Successful entrepreneurs put a lot of attention into personal systems a)the way they calendar things b)handle emails c)deal with ideas that come into their head d)plan meetings, etc. 3) It’s difficult to self correct, you need someone who will take you through a system and keep you accountable so you form good habits 4) We must improve the quality of our relationships, be in the moment

Julie: 1) Always ask the critical overlooked questions a)how long will this take? b)What is the return on investment 2) Decide each evening what critical concentrated task you will perform first thing the next morning 3)Create a time map, a template or structure to your week, and build it around your natural energy cycle and brain power to increase productivity 4) It take 30 days for a habit to form – keep a 30 day habit journal and you’ll see the payoff which will keep you on task

Neil: 1) Tell your mind and body when to start rather that worry about finishing 2) Say “I Choose” – the brain lights up on an MRI when we use that phrase 3) [THIS WAS MY FAVORITE FOR THE NIGHT] Keep an unschedule. Fill in guilt free/play time, sleep time, family time, time woriking out, meal time, etc. and then fill in your work time around that in periods of 15-30 minute uninterrupted focused triple A top priority tasks for that week 4)Commit to a larger support system 5)Create a vision, do a risk/benefit analysis, then start 6)[THIS LAST ONE IS SO GREAT AND REALLY WORKS] 3 part breathing a)inhale b)held breath, put in stomach c) exhale into chair and 4th step Neil said was to feel the chair and let it support you.

Well hope you enjoyed this short summary. It was another great session. Thanks again Jay and Rich for putting this together!

Another great web cast. Time management is essential to running a business and also probably the hardest to master. But I have to say that I’m deeply disappointed that you guys have changed the rules and are no longer giving away the summary for free. Shame on you.
