Make sure that both sides feel that they’ve accomplished something in the negotiations. 2. Don’t fight for a small point so long you damage your ability to win the large ones. 3.

Voice mail, email, snail mail, periodicals, industry journals, client projects, travel schedules, kids on vacation, family time, the operational demands of running three different companies and of course writing, writing and more writing.

People routinely ask me how I manage to get it all done.  I work only about 45 hours a week, I'm typically able to take about 6-8 weeks of vacation every year, I'm able attend the majority of my kid's school events and still manage to build the profitability of each business on pace, each year.

I'm not the smartest guy in the world, I don't have 26 hours in a day, but I do have very well developed delegation skills and I'm developing a greater ability to sort, prioritize and say no to distracting offers.  I also make it a point to surround myself with people who can think through problems, follow through on projects, accept responsibility for their efforts and then I LEAVE THEM ALONE.   The word micro-management is not in my vocabulary.
