Hey Guys & Gals,
Tim Schmidt here… 
The GOOD news is that I finally figured out how to get my videos inside this blog. Yep, I’m NOT what you’d call a computer genius!
So you gotta check out this video… I reveal my secret trick to turb-charging the projects that I outsource.
And now you know ANOTHER one of my secrets.
All the best,
Tim Schmidt
You’re going to LOVE this resource.
If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably got 7,000 ideas and thoughts running through your head at once. I’ve recently discovered a fanatastic tool that helps organize your thoughts, tasks, ideas… all in ONE place.
The concept I’m talking about is called Mind Mapping.
Here… check this picture out. It is a screen shot of my Mind Mapping software called MindJet.
Heck, this software tool just LOOKS cool! The good news is that it works as good as it looks. This software allows you to record a tremendous amount of information on a single screen. Plus, the software allows you to plan, link and connect items in the same way that your brain works.
Makes sense, huh?
Here is a screen-capture video of me going through a mind map I just created. (When you click on this link, a new window will open and you’ll see a picture like the one below… just click on the big arrow to start the video.)
Pretty neat, huh? As I promised in the video, here’s where you can get your hands on mind mapping software.
Good luck and have a great weekend.
All the best,
Tim Schmidt
Have you ever hear this one?
“Poor people have big TVs and rich people have big libraries.” - unknown
I love that quote. Well, let me rephrase that. I only kinda like that quote because I have a pretty big TV myself ;-), but I ALSO have a huge library.
Here’s a story…
So, I was at TKD (Tae Kwon Do) class last Thursday getting my butt kicked as usual. At the end of class, one of the assistant instructors approached me in the locker room. Now, this guy is pretty young. Heck, I think he’s only 25 or 26. Nonetheless, he is a 2nd degree black belt so I normally address him as “sir”.
He walks up to me and says, “Hi Tim, I’ve been made aware of your business dealings.” Now my mind is kind of racing and I’m thinking, “Hmmm… what can he be talking about… my business dealings?”
Well, he continues with, “Could you please recommend the most valuable book you’ve ever read about starting and running a business?”
“Oh… sure,” I replied. “Uhmmm… can I think about this a bit and get back to you, sir?”
“Yes Tim, that would be fine.”
I spent the next few days pondering this excellent question. I thought about how much I’d learned from the hundreds of books that I’ve read over the last 5 years. This was NOT going to be easy.
So, I finally came up with a list of the top SIX books that have influenced my businesses.
Here they are…
If you haven’t read these books, I challenge you to buy them TODAY. And if you’ve only read them once or twice, I challenge you to read them AGAIN.
I can still remember the saying my Dad used to tell me when I was growing up.
He’d say, “Tim, the person you’ll be 5 years from now will be determined by the books you read and the people you hang out with.”
Yep… as usual, Dad was right again.
To your success,
Tim Schmidt
