Just because somebody sends me an e-mail does'nt not means that I have to drop everything I am doing and start replying.

This is the easiest one to answer. I recommend reading the only book on Time Management that I have found that had real new dollars in my bank account, Dan Kennedy, No B.S. Time Management For Entrepreners.

I read this book every 2 months, over and over again and every time I do I find another block of time in my day that I could be doing something productive.

Dont get me wrong - I do answer emails, I just do them at my own convenience and not on the convenience of the person sending it to me. Just becuase they did not have anything to do at that particular momemnt of time does not means that I share their liesure.

I love fax machines and I encourage everybody that I do business with to use the fax machine. My phones are rarely answered live and if they are, it is by an answering service.

I know several real estate investors who live in the perpetual fear of losing a profitable deal and hence they are sugically glued to their emails and cell phones. I used to be one of them till I figure out that if the person on the other end has relationship with me then they will wait for me.

Business is booming, my rules of engagement get tougher every quarter and so far no drop in volume or profit in sight.

I am telling you, buy the No B.S Time Mangement Book today. It is like $9.95 at Amazon.com. You will thank me in six months for making more money with less work.
