There is a lot going on in the United States right now. Things that have a lot of your team members, customers, vendors, partners, and other stakeholders very concerned, anxious, or frightened. Yet, somehow, with everything going on in the world, there’s a pervasive idea that businesses are supposed to be apolitical entities that stay […]
1 hour. 60 minutes. 3,600 seconds. Indulge me. Play along. This won’t take long. In the last hour… I want you to think about the last hour before this moment. What did you do? What did you accomplish? How did it compare against your baseline? Keep your answers to these questions in mind throughout this […]

Better doesn’t always win. Companies don’t always buy the best options, sometimes they buy the cheaper one. The people with the most expertise don’t always achieve the most attention and financial success, sometimes it’s the one who markets themselves better, or are more charismatic on camera, or who know how to play the media and […]

I have a new online course coming out soon called Hyperfocus that is a complete productivity system for people with ADHD, and I have a question for you. Should I price it at $497 or $499?

What’s your favorite movie of all time? Until recently, I had a number of movies vying for the title of “Jeff’s favorite movie.” I wouldn’t fault you for thinking it’s Spider-Man: No Way Home.
