Sometimes More Is Not What You Want
To See the Whole Video, Go To - Sometimes More Is Not What You Want Below is a transcription of this video This is a response to Seth Godin blog post and what I’ll do is, this video is being created inside of creating and sharing 3000 videos in the next 90 days. Part of that, I look at just brilliant people and what brilliant people are doing and summarize myself with their sharing and see what lessons I can actually take into my life based on what we’ve been sharing and I create videos to solidify that, share my thoughts with other people.

My office isn’t so clean right now and there’s a tendency, I just want to get my office clean but everything has its place. It’s important not to take on every little thing that pops out of us. The word comes down to focus and discipline. Thanks a lot for listening to this message, make today a great day.
