This may be one of the most important podcasts I record for you. I'm sharing my system for taking control of my calendar—and I say most important because time is your most valuable asset. When you master how to manage it, it affects everything: your business, your family time, your health. This year alone, I started MSP Sales Partners from zero to $800K, added five full-time hires and 50+ customers, created content every week without missing a newsletter or YouTube video, had dinner with my kids almost every night, traveled for two and a half months over summer, took a fully-unplugged family trip to Spain and France, and managed 90 minutes to two hours of exercise seven days a week. I attribute ruthless time management to being able to do all of that. This episode breaks down my system: shift from reactive to proactive calendar management—stop playing defense and go on offense by designing "The Perfect Week" where you map out your ideal calendar with everything that matters (prospecting time, team meetings, exercise, kids' dinners, date nights), then lock those blocks in as busy so nobody can steal them back. Every Sunday, audit how the week went versus your perfect week, identify what's off and why, then fix it for the upcoming week. I also do quarterly off-site planning to identify the major business constraint and update my perfect week accordingly. Learn how to have the hard conversations to protect your time, why managing up and down requires showing people what's in it for them, and how this prevents the slow creep back to homeostasis where your calendar gets stolen again.
