from zero to one

Do you have a long list of goals that you want to achieve? We all know the first step is the hardest. How do you even set that first step? How do you go from zero to one?

Email is nothing more than someone asking for your time; do not let them steal your time by immediately responding to emails. Before you realize it, you are working on other people’s schedules.
