We all want to be able to do more in the 24 hours we get each day. But juggling multiple balls at once means that no single ball gets 100% of your attention—and that’s bad for your business. In this Silver Dollar episode, we discuss how a loss of focus injured the growth of our own company, why it can be difficult to say no to opportunities, and the startling impact the pursuit of multiple goals has on productivity. Listen to discover how implementing multiple initiatives puts your bottom line at risk, the strategy used by Warren Buffet to prioritize his goals, incredibly disturbing research about the inefficiency created by multitasking and interruptions, and tips for effectively maximizing your productivity.
