Let me help you recall the premise of this series of 7 lessons for increasing your productivity… On Barro Colorado, in the heart of the Panama Canal, a test was done with 35 pairs of young plants. Half were protected from pests and half were not. The protected half grew 10 times faster and was already 5 ½ times larger in just twenty months. The only difference was being sheltered from pests.

We have already discussed four natural strategies rainforest plants use to minimize the impact of pests. Today, we look at the fifth. It’s called, “leaf production when plants are rare” and it is highly effective. Some types of plants actually delay putting out new leaves (which are the most vulnerable) until the dry season when many of the pests have died off or gone elsewhere. With fewer pests, they have faster and more complete growth.

When you play golf, do you keep score? When your favorite football team lines up against another opponent, do you care if they keep score or are you content just to see the boys having a good time? I think not.

Then why is it inappropriate to keep score in business? Why do so many believers feel that keeping financial scorecards is somehow wrong? Do we track how many acts of good sportsmanship we see on the field of play in a football game? Of course, we admire good sportsmanship and should always exhibit that, but it is not the goal. Winning is.

Hello Friend,

Do you have any “geeks” on your team?

On Friday, my team sent out an e-mail at my request while I was traveling. The e-mail announced the availability of our best-selling Audio Coaching Program for immediate download.

The only problem is, one of our “geeks” hit the “send” button with all of the pricing information buried. I mean buried. In fact, when I got back to town and saw it, I thought there was NO price anywhere! But, when I got this particular “geek” on the phone, he walked me through the page and showed me where to look… in the fine print.

Well, suffice it to say that I wasn’t very happy. I got out my pen and fixed it. And, while this “geek” still has his job, we’ve confined him to his cubicle for the foreseeable future.

So, if you’re one of the hundreds of people who visited the link we sent, but (like me!) couldn’t find the price anywhere, I apologize. We won’t let it happen again. To make it up to you, I’m offering you a 50% discount on the download, but only until this Friday! We won’t be making an offer like this one again, so go check it out right away.

Go See All The Details Right Now!

Blessings,

Michael

P.S. There’s also a special deal if you want both the CDs and the download… but this one-time offer expires this Friday!

P.P.S. And, by the way, I call them “geeks” with their permission. In fact, they seem to enjoy it…
