Summer Hours

I heard an great concept a few years ago...outwork your competition. We have all heard "work smarter, not harder". This goes along with it. Outworking your competition is easy during the summer. Lots of people are taking vacations but some are taking Friday afternoon off. What if you were to work those Friday afternoons when other were at the cottage or on the golf course. Just like that, you would be outworking your competition. Vacations are an important way to recharge the batteries. But you are usually not that busy during the summer months that you "need" to only work four day weeks. Top producers are often workaholics, but you don't need to work 20 hour days. Just be available and you will become a top producer.
