Blog postI work hard on reducing my inbox down to zero as much as possible and almost daily. I do admit that there are days that this task is not manageable but my goal, on most days, is to have my inbox empty at the end of the day, which is a great feeling when achieved.
Almost six years ago, I first wrote about the Inbox Zero concept and shared several insights as to why it makes sense to do so and how to do this. In today’s article I will recap some of my previous points and add some additi -
Blog postThis is a holy week for so many around the world and, as is often the case, the Passover and Easter holidays coincide. The First Council of Nicaea in 325 determined that Easter should always fall on the first Sunday … Continue reading →

Blog postA client of mine called, panic-stricken, reporting that his email account was hacked and the invoice he recently emailed one of his clients was resubmitted to the client (by the hacker) and the money (tens of thousands of dollars) as the payment for his invoice was wired to an offshore bank account.
I advised my client to immediately contact the police, FBI, his bank and his client as well as change all his passwords.
How can this happen? Several possibilities exist, and I sus -
Blog postThis weekend we will travel to Columbus to share in the installation of our son-in-law, Rabbi Hillel Skolnik, as the senior clergy of a large congregation. At 36, this is quite a lofty achievement, though he has spent his entire life in the service of his faith and the congregants whom he leads.
We’ve been asked to share a few words this weekend about him which, while I thought would be easy, seems to be harder than expected. He has inspired and motivated so many, including me and Lau -

Blog postI don’t follow politics much, but thanks to my wife, I am informed of all the comings and goings in the political world on a near daily or even hourly basis. She reported to me that over the weekend, our president sent out over 50 tweets, 52 to be exact, on various topics. The twitter world lit up like a 4th of July fireworks display, and the pundits began their analysis of what all this meant.
Is he losing his mind and becoming unhinged, some asked? Others wondered if he was tweeting -

Blog postA few years ago, I wrote about The One Thing I must do to make sure all my competing priorities are addressed. Here are the top 10 I narrowed down back then which I true now as well:
Take more risks. By that I mean prudent risk. Delegate all that’s possible. This frees up my time and energy to focus on the most important to achieve my goals and desired results. Increase discipline. Yes, there are still areas in my life and business where this would be a great benefit. Schedule more strate -

Blog postPhoto by: Chad Barr How should I open this week’s newsletter?
With the tragic events of last week that have shaken our nation to its core, it’s important for us to not dwell on the horror but to look beyond and find a way to heal this great nation.
As you know, I’m an immigrant to this land, in the religious minority, where the opportunities for success, growth and freedom, personal and religious, were many. I spoke virtually no English when I arrived, and through years of sc -
Blog postPhoto by: Chad Barr One of my favorite words is instantiation or to instantiate. Its meaning is to make the complex simple. My opinion is that we are all guilty (self included) at creating too much complexity in our life and business. Occam’s Razor theory suggests that of any set of explanations for an event occurring, it is most likely that the simplest one is the correct one.
I work with some of the smartest individuals in the world. Yet, one of the key challenges they face and str -

Blog postPhoto by: Chad Barr September 11, 2001. I had brought my entire team to Las Vegas for a leadership growth experience that concluded that fateful morning. We arrived at the airport only to learn the horror of tragic events that had transpired only moments before our arrival. The impact of that event changed the life of every American and surely citizen of the world that day. We scrambled, trying to find flights only to learn that every outbound flight had been canceled. We tried to rent a van
