The Daily Routine of Top Producers: What The Best Do Differently

Every average agent wants to know what top producers are doing differently to get their results. They're in the same market, dealing with the same obstacles, and working with the same number of hours, yet somehow, they keep pulling ahead. Over the years, we've noticed clear patterns: top producers share the same habits, and struggling agents share the same mistakes. The contrast couldn't be clearer. Top producers don't rely on luck or talent; they rely on discipline. Their edge isn't in the big things; it's in the small, repeatable actions that make up their daily routine. But it's not just about structure; it's also about boundaries. There's a rhythm to how top producers move through their day; a structure that keeps them focused while everyone else is reacting. What do top producers do every single day? How are they so effective with their time management? In this episode, we're breaking down what a real top producer's day looks like, the routines, time blocks, and mindset shifts that separate consistency from chaos. Things You'll Learn The day starts the night before Top producers don't wait for the morning to get organized; they close out the previous day with reflection and a plan. How do you make preparation part of your routine? Prioritization drives everything Top producers focus on the handful of calls and conversations that actually move the business forward. What does your version of a focused day look like? Structure creates freedom The best agents know exactly when their day ends, and that clarity makes them more productive. How do you use time blocking to draw the line between work and downtime? Time blocks keep chaos out Lead gen, follow-up, research, and even thinking time are all scheduled and protected for top producers. What time blocks could make your business feel more consistent?   Host Bio Greg Harrelson is a real estate agent, coach, trainer, and owner of Century 21 The Harrelson Group.

Perplexity becomes second AI platform cleared for FedRAMP prioritization

Perplexity AI, an AI-powered search engine, is ramping up its push for government use, inking a new deal with the General Services Administration to offer its product for just 25 cents per agency. GSA announced the deal with Perplexity on Wednesday, emphasizing that the product will be offered directly through the agency's Multiple Award Schedule rather than through a government reseller, a first-of-its-kind agreement. The move aligns with GSA's OneGov initiative, which aims to work directly with technology vendors to cut prices and streamline contracting. Under the deal, Perplexity's Enterprise Pro for Government will be available on GSA's MAS for a quarter to agencies over an 18-month term. In doing so, Perplexity also received prioritized authorization under FedRAMP, the government's primary security review program that approves cloud-based technologies for federal use. Perplexity is only the second company to do so, joining OpenAI, which received prioritized authorization in September. According to GSA, Perplexity's Enterprise platform was also streamlined through the FedRAMP 20x pilot, which is focused on simplifying the cloud services approval process and reducing the timeline from months to weeks. Perplexity's platform uses large language models from other companies, such as Anthropic's Claude or OpenAI's ChatGPT, to conduct real-time internet searches and generate summaries for users. GSA noted Perplexity's platform has optional connections to common agency systems like Microsoft's OneDrive, Outlook or SharePoint. The Department of Health and Human Services is exploring how artificial intelligence can support caregivers with the launch of a new $2 million prize competition for AI caregiver tools. HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced the “Caregiver Artificial Intelligence Prize Competition” at an event Tuesday for National Family Caregivers Month, stating the agency is calling on engineers, scientists and entrepreneurs to use AI to “make caregiving smarter, simpler and more humane.” Kennedy said: “Many caregivers work around the clock, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, taking care of their loved ones with lifelong disabilities, dementia or chronic illness. Too many lose their income, their job, their aspirations and ambitions for themselves and even their own health in the process.” The HHS's Administration for Community Living (ACL) emphasized that the direct care workforce is facing increased shortages, leaving family caregivers to fill the void. According to an AARP report published in July, nearly 1 in 4 adults provided ongoing care for an adult or child with a complex medical condition or disability. These caregivers spend, on average, about $7,200 a year in out-of-pocket caregiving expenses, the report found. The competition will seek tools that benefit the professional care workforce or personal caregivers. Developers could be awarded up to $2 million for the products.

Show Notes: Antonio Nieto-Rodriguez, a leading expert on project management, talks about his upcoming HBR book.  Antonio shares his career path, including his time at PwC, banking, and pharma, and his early realization of the importance of project management. Changing the Perception of Project Management He discusses his mission to change the perception of project management from a tactical to a strategic role, including his work with the Project Management Institute (PMI) and his goal to publish in Harvard Business Review (HBR). Antonio highlights the challenges he faced in gaining recognition for project management as a most important facet of any organization, and his eventual success in publishing his second book with HBR. Antonio explains the key concept of his new book and shares how he pitched the idea to HBR, emphasizing that everyone is a project manager and that organizations should be project-driven. The Definition of Project Management Antonio mentions the success of his first book with HBR, which sold over 50,000 copies and was translated into multiple languages. He moves on to outline the theme of his new book: how every organization should become project-driven to adapt faster and transform constantly in a changing world. When asked to define what a project is, Antonio provides a classic academic definition of a project, emphasizing its start, end, objective, and teamwork. He then shares a more inspirational definition, stating that projects build the future of organizations and should be seen as essential and prestigious. He stresses the importance of project managers being proud of their work and the significant impact projects have on the future of companies. Project-driven vs. Operations-driven Organizations Antonio compares and contrasts project-driven and operations-driven organizations. He explains that most established companies are operations-driven, with operations at the core and projects as secondary. He also discusses the impact of the agile mindset, which broke down silos and hierarchies but still prioritized operations. Antonio introduces his model of a project-driven organization, where projects are at the core, teams are fully dedicated, and operations become more modular and secondary. Transformation from Operations-driven to Project-driven When offering tips on driving transformation from operations-driven to project-driven, Antonio identifies three main challenges: the organization's culture, the role of leaders, and the evolution of project management. He highlights the high failure rate of projects and the need for continuous transformation rather than continuous improvement, and emphasizes the importance of co-creation, bottom-up approaches, and the courage to stop projects that are not working. Managing Project Portfolios and Tracking Projects Antonio suggests conducting an inventory of all projects, identifying owners, and cutting a significant number of projects to focus on the most important ones. He recommends using project portfolio management (PPM) tools or simple Excel sheets to track projects. Antonio stresses the importance of prioritizing projects that lead to exponential growth and big bets rather than incremental improvements. When managing project portfolios and changing their management infrastructure, Antonio advises leaders to sponsor no more than three projects and to group projects into programs for better focus. He recommends having fully dedicated project teams where people leave their day jobs to focus on projects. Antonio explains that leaders should act more as coaches, empowering teams to take decisions and prioritize within projects. And finally, he emphasizes the importance of sharing knowledge and being open to exchanging ideas with others.

Your success relies on your ability to continually grow over time by ensuring that what you do today aligns with your long-term goals. It can be tough, and let's be honest, the word "preparation" often gets a dull reaction. However, without it, you won't fully understand how your current resources can impact the results you're seeking.    Three key factors really drive sustainable growth. First, what are your nonnegotiables? When two things are equally important, one must always take precedence. That shows your priorities and how everything gets done. Second, carve out protected time each week just for strategy—ideally, at least two uninterrupted hours. Third, being adaptable gives you a competitive edge. It's not just about individual adaptability; it's the team's collective response to change that really makes a difference.   In this program, Jess Dewell, a Strategic Growth Consultant at Red Direction and host of the BOLD Business Podcast, shares valuable insights on how to pinpoint your business's core to drive sustainable growth. She discusses strategies for managing growth while navigating the uncertainties associated with complex business issues.   Additionally, Jess explores how a well-defined growth strategy can help your company remain competitive in the market. She breaks down the three main ideas behind an effective growth strategy, highlighting the essential components for managing change and overcoming obstacles.   —-----------------   If you want to identify business bottlenecks, the necessary skills, the initial actions to take, the expected milestones, and the priorities for achieving growth, try the "Growth Framework Reset" approach.

How to use the Eisenhower Matrix to cut through chaos, focus on what truly matters, and make faster, smarter decisions as a small business owner. Show Notes Page: https://www.thehowofbusiness.com/587-eisenhower-matrix-prioritization/ Feeling overwhelmed by your never-ending to-do list? In this episode, Henry Lopez explains how to use the Eisenhower Matrix—a simple yet powerful framework—to prioritize your daily tasks and regain control of your time. Originally developed by Dwight D. Eisenhower and later popularized by Stephen Covey in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, the matrix helps business owners separate what's urgent from what's important, so they can focus on activities that truly move their business forward instead of reacting to every fire. Henry walks through how this framework complements the Big Rocks time management approach (Episode 569) and why most entrepreneurs mistakenly live in "urgent mode," constantly firefighting instead of leading strategically. He also shares how the Eisenhower Matrix inspired the creation of his free Task Management Tool, co-developed with his son-in-law, Colin Rhoades, using AI technology. "What is important is seldom urgent, and what is urgent is seldom important." — Dwight D. Eisenhower Henry and Colin also discuss how AI made it possible to create this simple browser-based productivity tool in just a few hours - proof that automation can make business life simpler in more ways than one. Listen to learn how to: Reduce overwhelm by categorizing tasks by urgency and importance. Identify your "Big Rocks" and schedule them intentionally. Use the Eisenhower Matrix for daily and even hourly decision-making... This episode is hosted by Henry Lopez.

In this episode of the Thread Podcast, host Justin Vandehey sits down with Max Mozes, Director of Revenue Operations at Walmart for Business, to unpack what it takes to build a world-class B2B motion inside one of the world's largest retail organizations.Before joining Walmart, Max carried a quota as a seller, scaled local business teams at LevelUp (acquired by Grubhub for $400M), and held key operational roles at Amazon Business — giving him a unique perspective on how to connect frontline sales experience with scalable systems and data strategy.Together, Justin and Max dive into:The evolution of RevOps from sales enablement to strategic business architectureHow Walmart is redefining B2B commerce for 30+ million potential business customersWhat RevOps looks like when you're serving both local bakeries and Fortune 500sThe art of structuring and prioritizing massive datasets across millions of prospectsWhy data enrichment and hierarchy matter more than just “more data”What's hype vs. what's real when it comes to AI and GTM automationAnd the soft skills that separate good operators from great ones: agency, resourcefulness, and ownership Key TakeawaysB2B at scale is an architecture problem. Data flows, enrichment, and prioritization define how sales teams actually execute.RevOps must translate complexity into clarity.

In this episode of Growth Think Tank, I delve into the power of leadership energy and its impact on communication, influence, and connection. I share why managing your energy. Not just your time, but also key to inspiring others and sustaining growth. You'll learn how to conduct an energy audit to identify what drains and fuels you, align your schedule with your natural energy rhythms, and build in recovery cycles that keep you performing at your best. I also explain how leading with energy fosters a positive and engaged team culture. By the end, you'll be inspired to take a fresh look at your own energy habits and discover how mastering your energy can elevate your leadership and your results. Episode Highlights & Time Stamps 1:28 – Patterns of CEO Life 2:31 – The Importance of Vision 5:20 – Revealing Blind Spots 7:09 – Resetting Priorities 8:49 – Reframing Perspectives 9:25 – Realigning Your Team 10:56 – The Value of Coaching Understanding CEO Coaching & Overcoming Overwhelm In this episode, I delve into the true essence of CEO coaching and its transformative impact on both business performance and personal leadership growth. Many CEOs feel overwhelmed, pressured by endless tasks, and trapped in habits that don't serve their long-term goals. I discuss why working longer hours isn't the answer and emphasize the importance of letting go of lower-value work to focus on what truly drives impact. We begin by examining the first steps of coaching, identifying what a client genuinely desires for their business. Establishing a clear vision is critical, as it not only sets direction but also aligns the team. Without a well-defined objective, leaders often operate reactively rather than proactively. Through coaching, we identify these gaps and develop strategies that align with genuine aspirations. Revealing Blind Spots & Resetting Priorities A key focus of coaching is uncovering blind spots that hinder growth. Many CEOs struggle with patterns of impatience, control, or other behaviors that limit both personal and organizational progress. Through reflective questioning, leaders gain insight into these hidden challenges, enabling them to break unproductive patterns and accelerate growth. We then explore resetting priorities, helping leaders determine what they are truly optimizing for, whether financial growth, innovation, or team development. Each leader's journey is unique, and coaching provides a tailored approach to focus energy on the highest-impact areas. Additionally, we discuss the importance of reframing challenges, demonstrating how shifts in perspective can reveal new opportunities and solutions that were previously obscured. Realigning Teams & Embracing Change Growth often requires realigning teams. The people who helped build the business may not always fit the vision for the future. Coaching provides guidance on having difficult conversations and making courageous decisions that strengthen alignment toward shared goals. I share stories from my coaching experience that show how realignment can transform team dynamics and drive substantial business growth. Throughout the episode, I emphasize that maintaining the status quo won't propel leaders to the next level. By embracing change, identifying blind spots, and making strategic adjustments, CEOs can achieve faster progress, reduced stress, and greater clarity. I conclude by inviting leaders to explore my personalized coaching programs, designed to help operators evolve into visionary CEOs. These sessions provide practical tools, mentorship, and actionable insights to unlock leadership potential and accelerate business success. Key Takeaways Vision before strategy: Growth begins with defining a clear, compelling vision that aligns your entire organization. Awareness precedes change: Recognizing control patterns, impatience, or outdated habits is the first step to transformation. Prioritize for impact: Identify what you're optimizing for, financial success, innovation, culture, and align your efforts accordingly. Perspective is everything: Reframing problems often reveals the breakthroughs you've been missing. Team alignment drives results: The people who got you here may not be the ones to take you there, lead with courage and clarity.

Reflecting on his decision to prioritize school pickups for his son and a colleague's near-fatal health scare, Dr. Woo-Ming explores how urgency and metrics trap physicians in “sand.” He offers a practical five-step “doctor's orders” plan to schedule big rocks, set boundaries, and reassess priorities, empowering physicians to combat burnout and design sustainable, joy-filled careers. Top 3 Takeaways: Big Rocks First: Schedule non-negotiable priorities like health, family time, and personal purpose before less critical tasks, ensuring they fit into your life's “jar.” Sweep Out the Sand: Identify and eliminate time-wasters like excessive emailing, doom-scrolling, or unproductive meetings by setting boundaries and delegating tasks. Reassess and Reflect: Regularly evaluate your energy, mood, and relationships to ensure your “big rocks” remain protected as life's priorities evolve, preventing existential burnout.

AI isn't killing design. It's reminding us what design really is. In this episode, we talk about the illusion of control, why designers often feel powerless, and how the real work has always been about making meaning and managing systems, not just making screens.What if AI isn't changing design at all, but finally showing us what design has really been about this whole time?It's tempting to think AI is rewriting the rules of design. But maybe the truth is simpler: it's exposing what design was always about.In this conversation with Dennis Lenard, founder of Creative Navy, we explore how AI is pushing designers to confront the illusion of control, the limits of pixel pushing, and the bigger role of meaning-making. Dennis brings over 20 years of experience working in UX, teaching design, and writing on interface design for high-stakes industries like healthcare. His perspective? The anxieties we're feeling aren't new; they're just harder to ignore now.We cover why prioritization matters more than production, why empathy should extend to your team as much as your users, and how to reframe design as managing the system, not just the interface.

In this week’s episode, Jennifer welcomes Brian Shortsleeve, a distinguished Marine Corps veteran, successful businessman, government reformer, and proud father of three boys. Brian’s career spans service in Bosnia and the Persian Gulf, a leading role in the finance sector, and a notable tenure as the General Manager and CEO of the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority (MBTA). He also served under Governor Charlie Baker, where he earned a reputation for instituting fiscal discipline within Massachusetts state government. Brian is currently running for Governor of Massachusetts, committed to revitalizing economic growth and restoring common-sense leadership. Jennifer and Brian dive into the critical challenges facing Massachusetts under current one-party Democratic rule, highlighting the rapid escalation in state taxes, fees, and regulation. Brian shares controversial insights on Governor Maura Healey’s policies, including her handling of the state's $62 billion budget, the ever-increasing utility bills, burdensome business climate, and spending on migrant shelters. The conversation exposes the exodus of young people and businesses from Massachusetts, the shrinking private sector job market, and the lack of government accountability. Brian details his bold plans to cut taxes, streamline government spending, audit wasteful state programs, and restore fiscal health—all while emphasizing the importance of keeping families and economic opportunity in the state. This episode is a must-listen for those interested in the future trajectory of Massachusetts policy and politics. “Healey’s spending is completely out of control.

Matt LeMay spent 13 years as a music critic at Pitchfork before becoming one of product management's most influential voices. He's consulted with companies from startups to Fortune 500s and authored two essential PM books, including Impact-First Product Teams. After watching countless product teams get laid off despite “doing everything right,” he discovered a harsh truth: most PMs are optimizing for the wrong things.In this conversation, you'll learn:1. The one question that predicts if your team will survive the next layoffs (and why most teams can't answer it)2. Why following product “best practices” perfectly can actually accelerate your path to unemployment3. The “low-impact PM death spiral”—how teams accidentally make themselves irrelevant4. How to push back on executives without saying “no” (the options, plus a recommendation framework)5. The counterintuitive reason why the happiest PMs are also the most commercially minded6.

Goal of the Goal - Using Goals As A Prioritization Clarifying Tool

This episode delves into the crucial role of well-positioned goals in a developer's career. It asserts that goals provide clarity, perspective, and purpose, particularly focusing on clarity as a primary benefit. The discussion challenges common struggles with goal setting, including the often-overlooked importance of relevance (the 'R' in SMART goals), suggesting that an irrelevant goal, no matter how specific or measurable, is ultimately ineffective. The core message highlights that the purpose of a goal is to serve as a clarifying and prioritising tool, enabling you to make decisions about what to do and focus your efforts, rather than simply doing work that is handed to you. You will learn to start small and focus on desired outcomes or what you want to be true, accepting that a goal only needs to be "directionally correct" rather than perfect. The episode also provides a practical heuristic: to set goals by considering how your boss will evaluate your performance in the future. It emphasises the importance of setting goals that are challenging but sustainable, avoiding common pitfalls like overly abstract, too easy, or demoralisingly difficult goals, to prevent disengagement and burnout. Ultimately, consistent goal setting and reflection are presented as key drivers for long-term career success.Understand the fundamental importance of goals in providing clarity, perspective, and purpose in your career, especially for driven developers.Recognise that relevance is the most critical factor in goal setting; a goal's specificity or measurability is meaningless if it is not the right goal for you.Grasp that the primary function of a goal is to help you make decisions about what to do, acting as a clarifying, prioritising, and focusing tool for your efforts.Challenge the mindset that your goal as a software engineer is merely to complete assigned work; without personal goals, your career changes and skill development will be difficult.Learn to start small when setting goals and focus on desired outcomes or what you genuinely want to be true in your career.Embrace the concept of a "directionally correct" goal, understanding that a goal does not need to be perfect to guide you effectively towards a larger, long-term outcome.Utilise reflection after meeting a goal to assess whether it moved you closer to your long-term objectives, providing valuable steering for future goals.Employ a practical heuristic for goal setting: imagine how your boss would evaluate your performance in six months or a year, and set goals around those anticipated factors.Be proactive in discussing career growth and goal setting with your manager, framing it as an opportunity for them to direct your efforts towards organisational wins.Identify and avoid common pitfalls in goal setting, such as goals that are too abstract (not tractable), too easy (causing disengagement), or too difficult (leading to demoralisation).Strive for goals that offer a challenging but sustainable chance of success (e.g., around a 60% probability), requiring focus and the ability to say no, without leading to burnout.Understand that consistency in setting and pursuing goals is what ultimately defines long-term success, rather than the perfection of any single goal.
