Tanveer Naseer

3 tips for pacing your work for lasting success

Next Level Blog

There was a vastly underrated road trip movie last year starring Zach Galifianakis and Robert Downey Jr. called “Due Date.” Downey plays an uptight businessman and Galifianakis plays a goofy but lovable stoner. They take a cross-country trip together. Hilarity ensues. Whenever Downey’s character would explode in rage, Galifianakis’ character would say, “Hey, you better check yourself before you wreck.

Happy Valentines Day

CEO Blog

Thinking Josh will get all the girls this valentines day. + I have had feedback on my See Do Time Management System which I agree with. It works well at home but poorly in the office. I think this is partly because home stuff tends to be similar in priority. I think it is partly because the time spend Seeing and Doing might have actually not been used productively at all.

I Trust You…First

Tim Milburn

In order to be trusted, one must be trustworthy. This means you and I have to be the kind of person that’s worth trusting. One thing you can do to get the trust train moving in the right direction is by offering trust toward the other person on the front end. There is something within human nature that responds positively to positive input. So if someone tells you, “I trust you,” there is something that clicks inside of us that makes us more likely to trust that person.

There Is No Career Ladder

Harvard Business Review

Reaching the apex of the career ladder by gradually getting promoted to the top is a thing of the past.
