Today my guest is Jake Thompson and we’re talking about 5 Surprisingly Simple [and powerful] Time Management Strategies to Maximize Your Day!  Jake NEEDS solid time management strategies.  Why?  Well… he’s the CEO of Compete Every Day… a training and performance apparel company with kick butt clothing to help you stay healthy, motivated, ambitious and hungry!  Plus,... in addition to being an entrepreneur… he’s also a performance coach, podcaster, speaker and author.  (His podcast is called “Compete Every Day.”)  Jake is really really good at helping people to create the habits, focus & mindset they need to create their competitive edge.  In this conversation, we dig into 5 strategies Jake uses to maximize each working day.  They’re powerful… and surprisingly simple.  Heck… most won’t take more time… but they’ll create more time in your day.  I think you’ll like his take on these proven concepts.  But most importantly, you’ll be able to apply them as soon as you’re done listening.  So let’s get to it!
