Hi Ken,

Great post and quite interesting.

Tony Robbins has had a product out for a number of years, called "The Time of Your Life" (aka TOYL). It is by far the best time management and personal productivity system that I've ever been exposed to. I'd give it a rating of 10-Stars out of a possible 10 -- it is that good.

It's a 10 audio cd program with a couple of great workbooks, flip charts and comes with an optional software & personal planner program.

It is much more than just a time managment system and is geared just a bit more toward the business professional than the usual self-help theme's of Tony Robbins other work.

It uses the exact same terminology as Brian Tracy is using.

Instead of a "grid" -- Tony Robbins uses a "Bullseye Circle." An extremely fine line there ?

I guess copywriters aren't the only one's who use "swipe files" ? Now I'm curious as to who reallyoriginated the system ?

Seemingly the same system and identical terminology, but a 4 quadarant grid vs. a 4 circle bulleye ?

I guess that leaves the Parallelogram and the Trapezoid still available. Hmmm? I smell a mini-site product already.

"Power Principles of the Time Parallelogram" -- or, "The 7 Secret Tennets of the Time-Trapezoid"

Do You Commit These 7 Deadly Sins of Time Management & Personal Productivity ?

PS: I'd also like to give you a public -- big two thumbs up and a 10-Star Rating for the production quality of your video's -- absolutely top shelf.

Do you have a production staff, or do you pump this all out yourself ?

Also, I'm probably not telling you something that you don't already know...but, in case any of your close friends have given you this suggestion -- here it is again from out in the hinterlands:

There is a huge parade (starving crowd) now forming and you have a tremendous opportunity to go stand out in front of it -- using John Carlton's metaphor.

That's a tremendous USP-Biz Model opportunity for you given that you seem to make McGyver & Inspector Gadget seem -- Techno/Gadget challenged. Additionally, you seem able to produce that ever elusive combination of both quantity and quality.

Have you ever considered putting the "copy" thing on the back burner and running with the video technology and production ball ?

Just my .02 cents.

All the best,

Martin
