People Sure do a Lot!

I get to talk to interesting, accomplished people in my job. I am amazed at how busy they all are and how they are so organized and prolific.

Just in the past hour, I spoke with an organizational psychology expert who has authored a book about group decisions. I also confirmed an interview with a publishing lawyer, who has authored 12 books on religion, who is an expert witness for trials and who fills in occasionally as a radio talk show host.

The man I book radio interviews for hosts a daily morning radio show (which entails him getting up around 3:30 AM), hosts a national weekend late-night talk show, is the father of 2 teenage boys, and just got his ordination to be an Episcopalian Deacon. And, oh yes, he always reads the books before interviewing the guests.

Another woman I booked on the show has a tour guide company with her husband and has also authored several books.

These successful people travel the world to promote their books and most of them are married with families.

How do they do it?
