How do you put out fires in your life?

Specifically, how do you prioritize in making important decisions?

Professional speaker and insurance agency manager Michael Aun has developed a system that could help you set priorities.

Michael uses a daytimer to set his schedule, take notes and be accountable if Uncle Sam wants a close look at his deductions.

He uses a 2-page system, keeping longer-term goals and projects on one and the current day’s schedule on the other.

These are the appointments already scheduled. They have “A” priority.

He prepares thoroughly for these appointments so that there are no guessing games about the purpose of his visit or what he wants to accomplish. These take priority over the rest of his day.

He spaces appointments 2 hours apart, starting at 8 am and running to 8 pm. This gives him 7 time slots that he can use for “green” activity – making money. He says he can’t sell people unless he sees them.

Michael can show you how he does this and other strategies to sell more to more people more often for more money in “Maverick Entrepreneurs’ Million Dollar Strategies.” This new book will help you organize and run your business more profitably.
