my meetings used to be a waste of time
4 changes fixed that:
1. interruptions go on a running agenda, not my door
2. every meeting has one clear purpose
3. every meeting ends with assigned action items
4. the next meeting starts by reviewing them
i paid $3,900 for a cost segregation study
it unlocked $750,000 in first-year deductions
my down payment on the property was $500,000
the write-off was bigger than the check i wrote
$3,900 in. $250,000+ saved.
Next time you see an expensive ticket — don't ask "is it worth the cost?"
Ask: "Who's in the room?"
That one question has been worth millions.

Initiative doesn't die from incompetence.
It dies the first time you punish it.
It comes back the first time you protect it.

Most leaders say they want initiative. Then question every idea their team brings. Quietly undo the calls that don't land. And wonder why everything still ends up on their desk.
@Chrysler can anyone tell me what I’m missing? I received this postcard promising 3 oil changes for $70. I drove 30mins one-way to take advantage of it. Then they told me the cheapest package is $150. Feels like bait and switch to me.
@USAA can you please have a member of claims management call me? You’ve had my car since March 7. I emailed you a detailed account of my experience (unreturned calls, inability to tell me where my car is, unpaid car rentals, etc) on June 4 and still haven’t gotten a reply. Thanks
