Susan Ershler, Author, Conquering the Seven Summits of Sales: From Everest to Every Business

In 2002, while relaxing at Everest Base Camp, I fell into conversation with Dan, a fellow climber about to make his fifth attempt to reach the summit alone. Dan was determined to be completely self-sufficient, carrying all of his own gear and climbing without a guide. I wondered why anyone would take on such a huge challenge without accepting even a modicum of help. But I wished him luck and rejoined my team to prepare for our climb of the treacherous Khumbu Ice Fall, the first major obstacle on our route to the summit.

“I arise in the morning torn between the desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.” E.B.White

How is your day going so far? Are you improving the world, or are you enjoying it? Perhaps you are able to juggle well and do both, and then again, perhaps not! We all know that life gets in the way. From the mailroom to the boardroom, we all need balance, and we need it sooner rather than later.

Mr. Richard Milam, founder, EnableSoft, Inc.

Let’s look at three ways you can maintain or even improve productivity in a race to finish 2015 strong.
