Steve Robbins here. Welcome to the Get It Done Guys, quick and dirty tips to work less and do more.

Dealing with disagreements quickly and easily will help you move forward as quickly as possible,

whether your plans involved deciding on a venue for your new product marketing launch

or taking over the world by holding the entire world's supply

of fashionable clothes for ransom. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you haven't listened to

all your Get a Done Guy episodes. Listen again, your life will be better for it. I'm okay,

you're okay. It was the name of a really popular self-help book, and it perpetuates the myth that

someone else might be as awesome as you. That's not true,

of course. You're the best. But you may have noticed that even the best sometimes gets caught

in disagreements with other people. Not only do disagreements call into question your being the best,

an absurd proposition, but they can slow things down and make it harder to speed quickly down

the wrong path. Uh, I speed quickly down the wrong path.

Uh, I mean, down the right path.

Surely, that's what I meant.

Bernice wants rose bouquets as centerpieces at her wedding reception.

Caitlin, her able assistant, is insisting on an assortment that doesn't include roses.

They're yelling at each other across the greenhouse of Bernice's green-growing-things

plant store.

Customers are starting to stare, and the Audrey twos in the back room are licking their

lips in anticipation.

When you find yourself disagreeing with someone, first calm down and take five deep breaths.

You won't get anywhere if you're filled with righteous anger.
