Check the progress here! TIME-STAMPED SHOW NOTES: [00:27] Today’s Topic: Hard Work Isn't The Key to Success [01:02] Just because you put in hours, doesn’t mean you will be successful. [01:45] The key is working more efficiently, not more. [01:54] Neil doesn’t schedule meetings on Fridays. [02:35] Always make time for yourself. [02:42] If you’re creative, you can be successful.
