  • Getting Results.com – My productivity system for work and life.  I encourage you to first try every productivity system, tool, and approach you can get your hands on.  Then please stop by here and try my approach, so you can feel the difference.

Key Resources

Here are some great places to find some insight and action to help you with work and life:

  • Book Summaries – I read a lot of books.    I share executive summaries, actionable insights, and key takeaways to give you a jumpstart into the best books I’ve read.
  • Book Recommendations – I keep lists of my favorite books by topics, to remind myself of some of the books I’ve read, and because people often ask me for my book recommendations.
  • Great Lessons from People – This is my “Greatness Distilled” series, where I distill the best lessons from people.   I am always looking to find interesting and insightful people that amaze me or teach me something new.
  • Great Quotes – Did you ever hear just the right words, at just the right time, and it changes everything? I believe that we learn a lot from the right quotes.  This is my way of sharing wisdom of the ages and modern sages and putting it at your fingertips.

My Best-Selling Book

I wrote the book on getting results.  It’s called Getting Results the Agile Way (Amazon):

BookCover22

Inside Getting Results the Agile Way, you will find Agile Results, my productivity approach for work and life.

You can think of it as applying “Agile for Life”, as well as a book to help you realize your potential.

My Ultimate Guide to Mastering Your Productivity, Mindfulness, and Well-Being

I have a simple way to help you achieve exponential results and to operate at a hire level.  It’s an online guide:

Deep Dive Guide to Agile Results (Free)

If you are serious about taking your abilities to the next level, this guide will get you there.

I wanted to create a continuous personal growth framework to help you master your productivity in work and life.

The key difference in my system is that it’s a full focus on using your best energy for your best results while playing to your strengths and spending more time in your values.

That’s why it works for artists, athletes, dreamers, leaders, achievers, and anybody who wants more from work and life.

7 Days to Better Results

I understand how sometimes, we just need a little something smaller to start with.  Well, here it is:

7 Days of Agile Results | Getting Results (free)

I know it sounds simple, but if you can master my Monday Vision, Daily Wins, Friday Reflection pattern, you will have a strong backbone for better results for work and life.

30 Days to Better Results

This is your chance to really rise and shine.

A fantastic way to get started is by taking a little action each day, over 30 days.   Here is my 30 Days to Better Results:

30 Days of Getting Results | Getting Results (free)

I know 30 Days can sound like a lot.   I really hope you invest in yourself because I poured my heart and my best knowledge to give you the best advantage in this life with those 30 days.

As Peter Drucker might put it, a 30-Day product is not the same as a 7-day product.

The surprise of this 30-Day course is that I use my 30-Day Sprint approach to build it.

So, every day, I wrote what I could within a 20-minute timebox to share with you my greatest insights and actions on super productivity.
