What You'll Learn: The essential structure of an accurate MRR waterfall schedule Why separating expansion, contraction, and churn is crucial for calculating SaaS metrics How to calculate GRR and NRR using distinct MRR layers Why trailing 3- and 6-month annualized retention rates offer deeper insights Pro tips on segmenting your MRR by product, ICP, or geography Who This Is For: SaaS founders, CFOs, FP&A leaders, and revenue ops teams looking to improve their SaaS financial reporting and ensure clean, actionable SaaS metrics that stand up to investor scrutiny.

Prædiken fra gudstjeneste i Broen d. 18. maj 2025Prædikant: Peter Jerup-ThiseTekster: Matthæusevangeliet kap. 4,18-23 og Apostlenes Gerninger kap. 2,27-47–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Studiemateriale til prædikenen Materialet er skrevet til brug i cellegrupper, men kan også bruges som personlig refleksion, eller sammen med en mikromakker, eller ægtefælle. START MED BØN (5 MIN)Lad en person lede en bøn og bed Helligånden om at lede, og guide jer i jeres tid sammen.CHECK-IN (15 - 20 MIN)Hvis I er en gruppe på mere end seks personer, kan det være en idé at opdele jer i grupper af tre, så der bliver bedre tid og rum for alle. Har I ikke startet aftenen med at spise sammen, kan det være en god idé at lande lidt først. Del kort med hinanden, hvad I hver især ankommer med: hvad fylder I dag – godt, skidt, arbejde, familieliv?Hjælp hinanden med at holde tiden. I kan evt. sætte en timer. TAL OM PRÆDIKENEN1 Læs teksterne til prædikenen sammen: Matthæusevangeliet kap. 4,18-23 og Apostlenes Gerninger kap. 2,27-472 Har du hørt prædikenen? Hvad lagde du særligt mærke til?3 Hvad betyder det for dig, at Jesus siger “Kom og følg mig” – ikke bare “Tro på mig”?--> Hvordan har dit billede af discipelskab ændret sig gennem denne prædikenserie?4 Når du ser på dit eget liv, hvor oplever du, at Jesus siger: “Gør det sammen med mig”?--> Er der områder, hvor du føler dig kaldet til at tage et nyt skridt i handling eller tjeneste?5 GRR-modellen beskriver en bevægelse fra “Jeg gør” til “I gør” – hvor i den proces er du i dit forhold til Jesus?--> hvor oplever du, at du måske er kaldet til at hjælpe andre på deres vej?6 Hvem har “gået sammen med dig” i din trosvandring – hvem har været med til at forme dig som discipel?-->Hvordan kunne du være en sådan person for en anden?7 I Apostlenes Gerninger 2 ser vi, hvordan disciplene skaber fællesskab og deler troen.--> Hvordan ser det konkret ud i dit liv lige nu? Hvad fungerer – og hvad savner du?8 Prædikenen taler om, at det er Jesus selv, der gør os til disciple – og sender os ud.--> Hvad betyder det for dig, at du ikke skal præstere, men blot følge og pege på ham?9 Hvad kunne være ét næste skridt i din discipelskab – noget du vil “gøre som Jesus”?--> Det kan være noget konkret (fx bede for en kollega, melde sig til tjeneste, invitere nogen med i fællesskab) – del det og bed for hinanden.BØN (10 MIN)Bed for jer selv og for hinanden, og bed ind i de ting, I har delt med hinanden. AFSLUTNINGOplever du, at Gud minder dig om noget nu, som du har lyst til at dele? Det kan både være til dig selv og til andre i fællesskabet. Husk, at Gud bruger os som fællesskab til at opmuntre hinanden i tro.

Send us a Text Message.In this insightful episode of the Customer Success Playbook Podcast, hosts Roman Trebon and Kevin Metzger engage in a dynamic conversation with Jarvis Harris, Global Head of Customer Success and Renewals at Xactly. The discussion revolves around creating an effective segmentation plan for first value delivery, emphasizing the importance of early value realization in the customer journey and its impact on long-term success.Detailed AnalysisThe Importance of First Value DeliveryJarvis Harris emphasizes the critical nature of delivering first value early in the customer journey. He explains that in the SaaS world, where customers don't incur as much technical debt, demonstrating value quickly is essential for ensuring renewals, maintaining high retention rates, and driving growth revenue retention (GRR) and net revenue retention (NRR).The 30-60-90 Day Segmentation PlanHarris introduces a strategic 30-60-90 day segmentation plan for onboarding, tailored to different product types and market segments. He stresses the importance of understanding the product type, market, and customer base when developing this plan. The approach varies for self-service products, niche market products, and enterprise solutions.The Three D's of Success: Driver, Dreamer, DoerA key concept introduced is the "Three D's of Success": Driver, Dreamer, and Doer. Harris explains how identifying these roles within a customer organization is crucial for effective onboarding and value delivery. Each role has different stakes and requires a tailored approach during the onboarding process.Preventing Scope CreepTo prevent scope creep during longer onboarding cycles, Harris advises maintaining clear communication, adhering to defined goals, and having the confidence to say "no" when necessary. He emphasizes the importance of the Customer Success Manager (CSM) acting as a trusted advisor and maintaining the original definition of success.Communication and Milestone SettingConstant communication and setting interim milestones are highlighted as crucial elements in maintaining customer confidence during extended onboarding processes. Harris stresses the importance of success plans as guiding documents and the need for CSMs to have visibility into the work of professional services or partner teams.Product-Driven Onboarding StrategiesFor product-driven onboarding, especially in lower-priced, self-service scenarios, Harris recommends leveraging in-app tools like WalkMe or Pendo, community-based tools like Higher Logic Vanilla, and customer success platforms tailored to the specific needs of the product and market.Understanding Your Market and ProductHarris emphasizes the critical importance of understanding your market, product, and ideal customer profile when implementing a segmentation strategy. This understanding should inform the entire customer success approach, from staffing models to technology choices.Please Like, Comment, Share and Subscribe.

What are the top metrics for a Professional Services (PS) leader in a B2B SaaS company? During this episode, our hosts Dave "CAC" Kellogg and Ray "Growth" Rike discuss the top PS metrics including:Professional Services Revenue / BillingsGross Margin (%)Billable Utilization Rate ($ and Hours)Non Billable Utilization including reasonsCapacity ($ Billables and # Hours)Before diving deep into the actual metrics, Dave highlighted that PS's primary job is to "maximize ARR without losing money". A key highlight on the role of PS is that it is not primarily responsible for maximizing PS Revenue or PS Gross Margin, but rather to help accelerate deployment to subscription revenue recognition, product adoption, utilization, and customer value all leading to increased customer retention rates and subscription customer lifetime value.One of the key points that were discussed is that Professional Services should not be goaled, or incented for maximizing PS revenue and/or optimizing Gross Margin. Generating cash from PS is a strategy that companies that are not in a good cash position may use to lengthen their cash runway - but not a strategy that maximizes the enterprise value of a recurring revenue business.Attach rate is a common measurement that many B2B SaaS companies use. The most common way to measure attach rate is: PS Billings / Total ARR in a specific period, such as quarterly or annually. Being able to correlate those customers that use PS and the associated GRR can highlight how the utilization of PS has to customer retention.What % of total revenue in a B2B SaaS company is the max for professional services? Dave "CAC" Kellogg used 20% as the absolute cap on PS, measured as a % of PS revenue to subscription revenue. Dave also recommended a Gross Margin of anything above zero percent, but optimizing Gross Margin at the expense of ARR is not a good long-term strategy.If you are responsible for Professional Services in a B2B SaaS company, or are evaluating the strategic role and associated metrics for a PS organization this is a great episode to listen to.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Scott shared that God's Relay Race will no longer host monthly prayer gatherings at Westport Plexpod for the foreseeable future.

We are going to continue the Beachhead Briefs, which provide Wednesday scriptures and prayers tailored for individuals in various workplace settings. Hoping for Great things for Kansas City:Scott Stanger shared a transformative story from Waco, Texas, illustrating how a marketplace prayer movement contributed to the city's positive transformation, leading to reduced crime rates and a flourishing community.

Matt Brown (CEO of CustomerOS) recently joined Eric Gruber (Personal ABM CEO) on the ABM Done Right Podcast to discuss how to grow your best customers and drive profitability with your next best customers to create a compounding customer growth engine. They discuss how customer success teams are still reactionary and playing defense and forgetting the ABM fundamentals that that helped companies drive revenue growth in the first place as there are no processes, frameworks and data visibility to distinguish between a high fit and low fit customer. You will learn how to leverage the right data and ABM to reduce customer retention costs (a KPI that most teams do not track) and increase GRR and NRR growth.

Even the coolest DTC brands are struggling now as investors look for accountability and profitability. The cost of shipping and products has added substantial pressure for DTC brands to rethink their operations. Also, consumers' demands are harder to manage with their expectations of one or two days delivery. So what can DTC brands do to stay competitive in this market? In today's episode, our guest, Manish Chowdhary, discusses why only acquiring customers is not enough to run sustainable DTC operations. He also discusses concepts such as GRR increase from carriers such as UPS and FedEx and their impact on the overall profitability of the DTC brands. Finally, he discusses why one or two delivery is not optional and why each brand needs to have a unique fulfillment strategy.For more information on growth strategies for SMBs using ERP and digital transformation, visit our community at wbs.rocks or elevatiq.com.

As ABM has become synonymous with ABM tech, many GTM teams are not seeing maximum returns from their ABM tech investment as they continue to struggle to move high-value accounts to revenue. Many GTM teams are seeing accounts go dark and we've been seeing reports of 10%+ drops in enterprise deals (the ones that ABM should be focused on!) In this podcast, Liz Ronco from Madison Logic joins Personal ABM CEO (Eric Gruber)( to discuss why ABM tech clients are failing to get the greatest returns from their ABM tech investments as pipeline accounts go dark. They cover:How teams are ineffectively identifying and prioritizing the right accountsWhy teams struggle with engaging VPs and the C-suite, which is what's needed to drive stage progression.  How teams are failing to get customer-centric and how they are not using data and account intelligence to guide content, messaging, and interactions. The need to go beyond personalization and become personal and how we should come to each interaction with a point of view about the prospects' businesses.How teams are failing to optimize for velocity, increased ACV, and stronger ARR, GRR, and NRR as they are looking to ABM to fix the pipeline vs. fixing the experiences teams are delivering across the buyers' journey and customer lifecycle.

So just another friendly reminder that food is more than just controlling your weight. Before we dive into our main topic we discuss the Pendulum probiotics ads.

The number one goal for demand gen marketers has always been generating pipeline and revenue. However, times are changing and more of us are now required to focus on staff retention.

The contest for leader of the SNP and Scotland's new First Minister takes up the majority of this week's podcast.We try and make sense of the early exchanges and suss out what the key issues will be in the campaign. At this stage much of the focus has been on the candidates' positions on social issues such as equal marriage and the GRR. We wonder at what point this might shift to the economy and the path to Scottish independence.Meanwhile there's been mucho speculation in the mainstream media that Nicola Sturgeon's resignation and apparent fault lines in the  SNP emphasised by the leadership election provides an ideal opportunity for Labour to exploit. Our reaction? Aye,right.Back at Westminster Rishi Sunak's plan to reveal an agreement on the Northern Ireland Protocol impasse looks like its been derailed by an unholy alliance between the DUP and,more importantly, by the ERG. Is there any way out for an increasingly beleagured PM?Just to say @ScotNational has found some people voted many times in their online poll about SNP leadership candidates - mentioned in this podcast - so not sure results are meaningful. ★ Support this podcast ★

#saas #revops #revopswithanedge #revenueoperations Alex Theuma CEO and Founder of SaaStock joins Pete Jansons and Jamie Carney of the SAASholes Revenue Operations Podcast to give an update on the SAAStock show coming to Austin After 11 years of sales experience in IT, Telecoms & Cloud, Alex Theuma started a blog on SaaS called SaaScribe. This soon caught on and he built a powerful network across the SaaS founder and investor community. The blog soon led to the creation of the first ever podcast on B2B SaaS, called The SaaS Revolution show, and that led to the first exclusively SaaS themed meetups in London, Dublin and Berlin. That was 2016 and since then SaaStock has grown to be the biggest B2B SaaS Conference in Europe with five major conferences a year in five countries and many more local events. As an entrepreneur Alex Theuma knows the value of shared knowledge from those in a similar sector so it's his mission to share the newest ideas and connect the brightest minds in SaaS so everyone can benefit. https://www.saastock.com/ https://www.saastock.com/founder-membership/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/alextheuma/ Chapters: 0:00 1:43 Shout Outs 3:38 Alex Theuma Interview 4:30 SaaStock 4:43 SaaStock Austin 5:35 What is SaaStock? 6:42 David Cancel Drift Speaker Dublin 7:06 Chargify 7:14 Chris Cochran Founder Chargify 8:02 Alex Theuma Role at SaaStock 8:46 1st SaaStock Show Story 9:44 How did SaaStock Start and Grow? 12:04 Podcast Beginning 12:20 Mark Roberge Podcast 14:13 Selling: What is the Value to clients of SaaStock? 14:45 2 customer types 17:44 Chart Mogul 18:20 Profitwell 18:27 Patrick Campbell 18:46 Austin Show will increase NA exposure Velocity Global, Outreach and Zoom Info 19:57 Cap Chase 25:25 Recession Proofing Ideas for your business 25:24 Time to Close Rate 26:29 Taking Away the things from Sales Teams that are preventing them from selling 27:13 End of Day Sales Huddles 27:45 Do too many meetings create negative environments? 28:58 Does a leader jumping on every call with a rep create fear In rough times? 29:29 Get rid of Cadence Calls 30:00 Hubspot Example 30:32 Carney Doesn't like Forecast Calls 31:38 Sales Force Layoffs 32:15 Is Hubspot eating SalesForce's Lunch? 33:53 Marc Benioff getting advice from Will.I.AM 34:32 Docusign, SalesForce who is next? 35:06 Hoppin Example 35:49 Shopify Example 36:12 Elon Musk Warning 36:35 Dealing with companies backing out of deals 36:50 Sequoia Capital Warning to its Founders 38:41 SAASTR, Web Summit competitors 39:07 What Re the Earnings Multiples like out there? 41:40 Profitwell Patrick Campbell 42:38 Declining multiples good for VC 43:39 Lot of VC's Struggling 44:20 Rule of 40, ARR, GRR and NRR? 46:53 Passion 46:54 What is SaaStock Founder Membership? 50:54 Godard Abel CEO G2 --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/saasholes/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/saasholes/support

The Gender Recognition Reform Bill was passed by an overwhelming majority of the Scottish Parliament. Secretary of State for Scotland, Alister Jack, has decided for the first time in 25 years to invoke Section 35 of the Scotland Act to stymie its implementation.We examine the background to the legislation and wonder if he has unwittingly succeeded in uniting Yessers, who disagree over this issue and soft Nos, in opposition to the undermining of the Parliament.Sir Keir Starmer seems to have thrown Scottish Labour under the bus over GRR by criticising some of its measures. This despite Anas Sarwar whipping his MSPs to vote for it. How will Scottish Labour voters and party react to another piece of Starmer political opportunism?The SNP Special Conference will have two options presented to it on using a future election, either Westminster or Holyrood, as a de facto referendum. Both depend on gaining a majority of votes for the SNP and any other parties with whom they've reached a pre-election agreement. How will Alba respond?Lesley stresses the need for the SNP to step up to the plate with a compelling narrative on the shape of a future independent Scotland and a serious strategy for securing that majority of votes.All this plus praise for Colin McKay of STV for his Rishi Sunak interview, Suella Braverman and the Home Office's attempts to remove a video showing a confrontation with a Holocaust survivor, more Alister Jack, this time on Brexit, and Lesley's new book.  ★ Support this podcast ★

You can check it out here:  https://fatguyforum.podbean.com/e/fat-guy-forum-episode-115-bryan-goes-hard/  During that talk Bryan was certain that diet and exercise alone were going to be the tools he needed to succeed, in concert with working on his mindset and perspective. During our new talk he reveals that he eventually realized that while the changes he had made were powerful, he would need a new tool to take him where he wants to be. Bryan had WLS in February of this year and we talk about the mental challenges making that choice presented and what it has been like for him since then.

Our brains our a conglomerate of if/then statements, like in computer code, and oftentimes new lines of code are hard to write in our mind when we're trying new things, for example if I want to play basketball, then I need to learn to shoot. Sitting down and coding that particular if then statement could take years of dedication, but when we do sit down and create new then statements for a complicated if, it feels freaking amazing. This podcast is your weekly motivation, and mine, to get uncomfortable and write some neurological code. “It's easier to hold to your principles 100% of the time, then it is to hold to them 98% of the time.” — Clayton Christensen When I was thinking of creating a podcast, I had no time. It was everything I could do to keep up with everything else in my life already: 2 Youtube channels, house renovations, a free range chicken farm, friends and family. Everything was already falling apart as it was, and adding another full time obsession I would inevitably burnout on was, in a sick way, hilarious. How could I write even MORE if then statements in a day when my brain was already burning up from the complicated programs I was currently running. But I felt like I had a good idea for a podcast, and I just had to try to balance everything. I had to find a way. See, even though I always felt busy, like I was working all the time, I never felt like I worked enough, cause I was eternally behind, and so I never felt I deserved to take a true break. The weird thing though and honestly the problem, was that I was taking breaks, lots of them—hundreds of micro breaks a day with every app opened, every notification clicked, oh that's a funny reel, ehh…what's this next one? Time just kept ticking, and projects just kept piling on and on. Now I would get everything done……. mostly, I mean I was playing the Dope Game from episode 2 after all, so I was getting pretty good at focusing doing projects at random times, but I had no structure to my work life and so I would inevitably be on my phone when I knew I should probably be working *notification sound* Oh, by the way I got the Wordle in 3 today, I wonder how people on Twitter faired. I needed to plan my day somehow with the reality that I'm a human being in the 21st century and I'm going to look at my phone 3 hours per day one way or the other. Months ago, during one of these micro breaks, a video popped up. It was of Kobe Bryant giving a TED Talk in Shanghai, talking about his absurd work schedule. He sucked the air out of the room when he said the insane: {Kobe Bryant clip https://youtu.be/9_tYXFbgjZk?t=841  14:03-15:16} Quote “So if your job is to try to be the best basketball player you can be, to do that you have to practice, you have to train, right? You want to train as much as you can, as often as you can. So if you get up at 10 in the morning. Train at 11. 12? Say 12? Train at 12. Train for 2 hours—12 to 2. You have to let your body recover, so you eat, recover, whatever. You get back out. You start training at 6. Train from 6 to 8, right? And now you go home; you shower; you eat dinner; you go to bed; you wake up; you do it again, right? Those are two sessions. Now imagine you wake up at 3:00 you train at 4:00. So 4 to 6. Come home. Breakfast, relax, da da da. Now you're back at it again. 9 to 11. right? Relax and now you're back at it again 2 to 4. Now you're back at it again. 7 to 9. Look how much more training I have done by simply starting at 4? So it makes sense to get up and start your day early because you can get more work in.” Unquote I felt I already woke up pretty early, between 5 and 6, but I definitely didn't start work until later than that. But 4? Like, come on. Initially, I was just intrigued by his idea of how to split a day up between focused work and focused recovery. When I was thinking of starting my podcast, adding another obsession to my plate, his plan for life came back to mind, and this time maybe starting work earlier was what I needed to make this podcast thing work. Maybe that was the key. Maybe 4:00 was doable, at least for weeks I had a heavy work load. I knew my phone use was a weakness of mine, though. So I didn't want to just start work at 4 without a proper plan going in. If, realistically, 3 hours of screen time was inevitable, could I use that to my advantage somehow? I asked myself a question that changed everything: Which is better, deciding to 100% commit to mindlessly scrolling on my phone for an exact 3 hour slot of time and then the rest of the day 100% commit to projects while fasting from my phone, OR an entire day only 2% committed to scrolling on my phone, while always 98% committed to projects—the same 3 hours of screen time is spent but, this time, interspersed throughout the day? In Dr. Benjamin Hardy's book, “Personality Isn't Permanent,” he answered my question by saying quote “When you're only 98% committed to something, then you haven't truly decided. As a result, you're required to continue making decisions in every future situation you're in. Weighing, in every instance, whether this particular situation falls into the 2% of exceptions you've allowed yourself. In every situation you're in, you're not actually sure what the outcome will be in terms of your behavior and decision making. This lack of decision leads to identity confusion and a lack of success. Becoming 100% committed to what you want is how you succeed. Making serious and sometimes hard decisions rather than deferring them for bad situations leads to enhanced confidence and progress.” Unquote 5:35 In other words, a life 98% committed leads to what he calls “decision fatigue,” and maybe this was my problem the entire time. I thought about it, and if I'm only 98% committed to work like I had been, the computer of my brain will bog down quickly with decisions. Every piece of laundry folded, could lead to a decision. Now is it ok to find a new YouTube video to watch? This video seems cool. Wait, what's this other one? Every single time I feel the need for a dopamine hit, another decision needs to be made. Does this time fall into the 2% of exceptions? Is this time ok to get on Instagram? By not deciding to 100% commit to phone time or 100% to work time, I'm leaving my brain having to decide literally every minute if this is the time it's ok to watch some reels. It was like my brain was hacked with windows constantly popping up. (Typing) Every time I would start to get into a rhythm of work—“click here to accept your prize!” Hhh… close. (click) Alright, where was I? (typing) “Don't miss out on your prize!”  Grr… close. (click) (typing) “This is your last chance for the prize!” How could I ever get anything done when half my time was spent closing these annoying pop ups? And then…what happens if I decide to accept the “prize.” What happens then? Welcome to the age of the smart phone. By Kobe Bryant 100% committing to focused work for 2 hours, 4 times a day. And then, 4 times a day, 100% committing to relaxation and recovery, mindlessly scrolling if he wanted to, he became one of the best basketball players in history. We both might be spending the same amount of hours on our phones, but the time's he's not on his, he's 100% focused on the job at hand, and that makes all the difference. So I decided to try it. After all, it seemed kind of fun to be able to guilt-free scroll through my phone for 3 hours if I wanted after working hard. But instead of waking at 3 though, I would wake up between 3:30 to 3:45, and hyper-focus on my podcast for 2 hours starting at 4am and then instead of taking a 3 hour break between sessions like Kobe, I would take a 2 hour break because I wasn't doing anything physically demanding. If I did happen to go over 2 hours though because I was in the middle of something with family, that was allowed. But I would stay on my 2 hour work schedule after that. What I realized is, 2 hours of intensely focused work, with no distractions, pushes you juuuust to the edge of frying your brain without actually ever hitting that point. Anything after 2 hours, however, and that's just plain risky. Your brain starts to short circuit. Things get amplified after that. Small problems you face start to feel like a potential nuclear war—threatening to blow up your entire mental state. Why did I even start this dumb podcast in the first place? Nothing is going to work like I want. I'm terrible at this. Why is it so hard for me? Even right now, writing this script, I have to walk away cause my brain is about to fry as I'm hitting 2 hours. Give me a little bit. Hang on. (Stand up, deep breathing) It's amazing what a strategic 2 hour break can do for a brain. It's the same feeling as when you go to sleep on a problem, and then after waking, you somehow have the solution at the forefront of your mind. Your brain figured it out for you by just resting—like a computer updating to the latest version while in sleep mode. But instead of one time, you're getting that phenomenon 4 times a day. 4 updates fixing bugs. That rest time is critical. You feel it. You're using it to your advantage and there's no guilt at all. Work and rest: it's a beautiful symbiotic relationship. Both equally important, both impossible without the other. I call this work schedule the 2:2 Method, and the cool thing I've realized now, after following it for a few weeks, is that instead of wanting to mindlessly scroll every rest time, I find myself often inspired to actually do things in those 2 hours that I had been putting off, that I felt I had no time for. I found myself painting the trim in the downstairs bedroom I've been meaning to finish, I was prioritizing my family more by going with them to the mall. I took my wife Sara out on a date, and even folded a bunch of laundry. That didn't take as much time as I thought. And one of the biggest things I noticed was that I wasn't burning out on my new passion for podcasting, like I was worried would happen. By forcing myself to slow down and rest, I found I could manage my effort better—instead of passionately sprinting with inspiration as my fuel until I quit from physical and mental exhaustion, I was walking freely, and even resting when I needed in order to make the long journey. And that's why I broke up If Then into seasons, to further manage my effort by resting. I wouldn't suggest waking at 3:30AM and only getting 6 hours of sleep as a longterm lifestyle choice. In my experience, that should be done only when necessary, but when implemented, it works. Season 1 has been the story of me getting uncomfortable and learning how to podcast—next week being the final episode. Season 2, date pending, will be its own complete story, just like this one, and the 2:2 Method will be, again, what makes it possible. In following the 2:2 Method, by 6:00PM I've worked extremely focused for 8 hours without feeling overwhelmed with exhaustion because I had also rested strategically for 6 hours as well. By 6 o'clock I can relax completely with my wife Sara, resting in the fact that I have accomplished so much. By 9PM I'm asleep, and I do it all over again the next day. Like Kobe Bryant, by committing to either 100% focused work or 100% rest, I'm finding I'm able to get more done with peace and ease than I could have ever imagined, and I'm curious how much more I can put on my plate and feel this exact same way. Time, in a way, almost feels limitless instead of limiting. So I'll leave you with this: “It's easier to hold to your principles 100% of the time, then it is to hold to them 98% of the time.” — Clayton Christensen Thank you so much for listening to the third episode of the If Then Podcast.
