Power Hour- using time wisely

From PRU March 2012

When you consistently work smarter, not harder, you can achieve powerful results.  Using the Power Hour approach can allow you to invest time in completing tasks that will help you grow your business.  You can create a filing system for four segments of your business and allocate 15 minutes each day to each new segment of your business.  Soon, you'll be consistently improving your business on a daily basis.
