Thank you all for sharing all the wonderful lessons learned during your days in school.
I truly enjoyed reading your responses and found it was such a great reminder to me that much of who we are today can be attributed to the concepts and ideas that we learned as students.
I also found it interesting, but not surprising, that much of what we remember from our days in the classroom had very little to do with the actual content of what was being taught. The real lessons can from the principles we were able to gain or learn.
Thanks again for your thoughtful answers. It was difficult to narrow Read More...
Last month we asked the question, “What is your biggest obstacle towards hitting your goals and how do you overcome it?” The single thread that ran through most of the response we received where, in one way or another, we can be both the problem and the solution to the challenges we face. Fascinating.
Now for the winners!

There were so many fantastic comments, over 120 in fact! Thank you for the great participation and for making the Time Management Contest one of our most popular to date!
Your answers represented many valuable aspects of time management from prioritizing, to doing important first, to Covey’s quadrants, to the importance of family and personal time.
Some of your comments about giving tasks A, B, C priorities reminded me of my mom’s weekly plans she made every Sunday growing up (I learned a lot from her!).

The Freedom Team had a very difficult time narrowing down all of the books that were submitted for the Best Business Book Contest. There were so many great ones to pick from AND a ton of great recommendations I know our team will be reading this summer.
I complied all of the entries so you can have an easy to reference ”to-read” list. One aspect of this list I found interested was that not all of the books submitted would be found in the business section of a book store, but the information in the books can be directly applied to your professional life.
