No B.S. Time Management for Entrepreneurs

The Ultimate No Holds Kick Butt Take No Prisoners Guide to Time Productivity & Sanity

Don't Count Time, Make Time Count!

Tick ... tick ... tick ... can't find enough time? Find out how to use it far more wisely by the man who successfully ran multiple business ventures simultaneously. Dan Kennedy has been called the "Professor of Harsh Reality" because he doesn't deal in glib, pabulum solutions and eye-rolling cliches you've heard incessantly on time management.

He takes on the world of cell phones, PDAs, faxes, e-mails, and every other communication device that pervade our lives, suggesting when to tap it, and when to give it the heave-ho. This entrepreneur/consultant/author/speaker has a whirlwind business life, yet manages to fit everything in using a handful of home-brewed time management tools he swears by.

He shows how to maximize your time with a fresh take on the mantra that "time is money." It's all about using disciplined productivity strategies Kennedy has devised over 30 years of managing highly-profitable businesses with only minimal help.

• One of the most vexing problems every businessperson has is managing time. We all shoulder multiple loads and seem to run short of enough hours to meet our goals. I highly recommend marketing guru Dan Kennedy's book, No B.S. Time Management for Entrepreneurs: The Ultimate No-Holds-Barred, Kick-Butt, Take-No-Prisoners Guide to Time Productivity & Sanity. (I ordered it online while at the conference.) It's already made a difference in my life. Few people are as direct as Dan Kennedy. And virtually no one has his approach to time management. His book is worth a look.

• How much of your day is actually spent in productive work? Not the time you spend in your office staring at the computer screen, on the phone, checking your email, or dealing with the umpteenth question from that employee that always seems to need just another minute of your time. Productive time is the time you are actually earning money by directly working on a project.

• No BS Time Management for Entrepreneurs explains that it's those little irritants and side tasks that only take a few minutes of your time that gradually and progressively eat away your precious time. Therefore, the only real way to make productive use of your time is to limit these distracters and focus on the real work at hand.

• Though I had already realized a good deal of my own distracters and time eaters before I read this book, No BS Time Management for Entrepreneurs made me realize exactly how limiting these behaviours really are and how much more productive I could become. I don't have to limit sleep to a few hours a night. I just have to realize the value of my time and react appropriately.

Who is Dan Kennedy? His business adventures have included ownership of an advertising agency, a manufacturing company, a publishing business, a newsletter, a consulting business and a direct marketing business. He has been in the trenches and succeeded. Touting the moniker, Millionaire Maker, and Professor of Harsh Reality, he appeared for 9 consecutive years on THE #1 seminar tour in America typically addressing audiences of 10-30,000 and sharing the platform with former US presidents Reagan, Ford and Bush, Generals Colin Powell and Norman Schwartzkoff, and world leaders like Margaret Thatcher and Mikhail Gorbachov.

At age 49, Dan has announced his semi-retirement, and is increasingly selective about the projects he accepts although he maintains his consultant practice. As a consultant to consultants, Dan works closely with more than 50 marketing advisors to different niche industries, with combined impact on well over a million small business owners and self-employed professionals.

He's provocative, irreverent and sarcastic and tells it like it is in a humorous, but chillingly serious fashion that cuts to the core of the issues in a way no other business author does. These books aren't for the faint of heart—they are exactly what they say they are—no holds barred, kick butt, take no prisoners guides.
