THINK Business & Sales with Jon Dwoskin

Meetings are too long, and most people won't tell you. The truth is, executives spend up to 23 hours a week in meetings, and half of that time is wasted on inefficiencies, lack of structure, and unnecessary discussions. The fix? Cut meetings in half. Set a clear agenda, assign ownership, and make sure every person in the room knows their role. Start on time, end on time, and keep it focused. When you tighten up your meetings, you'll save hundreds—if not thousands—of hours a year. That's time you can reinvest into growing your business. Look at every meeting and ask: Where can we cut this down? Ready to cut your meetings in half?

In 2009, David Lawrence took a job as an assistant strength coach at the Poliquin Performance Center and saw first hand the methods of Charles Poliquin (The Poliquin Principles) were producing more results with top professional and Olympic athletes than anywhere else in the world. "Guys were making more progress in one offseason that I had seen most athletes make in an entire college career. In 2012, David started MECA based around the teachings and training methodologies of Charles Poliquin and has taken more than 20 seminars and courses with him. Since the inception of MECA, our coaches have worked with athletes in 25 sports with multiple athletes in the NFL, NHL, professional soccer, and other Olympic Sports. Our clients will on average make more progress in speed, strength, and vertical jump in 3 months than they have in the last 3-5 years training on their own or with another program. In 2015, MECA teamed up with Tri-Covery Massage and Flexibility to create a one-of-a kind performance and recovery center in Novi, Michigan. Tri-Covery is home to some of the best Fascial Stretch Therapists (FST) in the Midwest. It is not uncommon for clients to see more improvement in flexibility and range of motion in one or two sessions than stretching on their own for 12 weeks. Combining that with the personal training and performance side of things, you are getting something truly special when you come into our facility.

Focusing on one driving activity each day can transform your business and personal growth. Identify a specific, measurable task that directly moves the needle—whether it's making 10 sales calls by 10 a.m., connecting with your team by noon, or reviewing your company's vision by 9 a.m. Precision is key: quantify your activity, time block it, and follow through. By prioritizing this daily habit, you'll stay ahead of the curve and drive consistent progress.

He realizes that fostering a culture of open, honest communication is essential for both personal and organizational growth. Without such a culture, employees may fear speaking up, and valuable insights can be lost. Consider this: When was the last time you actively sought feedback from your team? Schedule a feedback session and ask them to identify one area where you can improve as a leader. By embracing and implementing their insights, you'll unlock exponential growth for yourself and your team.

Reducing workplace distractions starts with understanding their source. Begin by cataloging interruptions—ask your team where and how they're being distracted. Use this information to set clear standards. For instance, replace open-door policies with scheduled office hours for non-urgent matters. This simple change can minimize disruptions, improve focus, and boost productivity. Remember, saving just four minutes a day translates to 100 hours a year per person. Take steps to eliminate distractions and watch your business thrive.
