| 0:00.0 | Welcome to It's a Good Life with Brian Bafini, founder of America's largest business coaching company. |
| 0:10.4 | Here's a short classic cut from one of our all-time favorite episodes. |
| 0:17.4 | Top of the morning to you and welcome to today's episode. |
| 0:20.7 | You know, many small business owners are tired, burned out, and a bit distracted. |
| 0:25.2 | So when they hear about hard work, they think it's about putting in more effort and more time. |
| 0:30.7 | Rarely is this the answer to what your problems are. |
| 0:34.2 | Today we're going to show you how to get more out of your time by sharpening your mindset, |
| 0:39.1 | your motivation, and your methodologies. Now, the very definition of work, according to Mr. |
| 0:45.1 | Webster, is the exertion of effort directed to produce or accomplish something. It's also the |

| 1:27.9 | comparatively. It still takes hard work. It still takes effort. It still takes innovation. Still takes |
| 1:33.0 | sacrifice. All the things that we're going to talk about today. But the fact of the matter is |
| 1:36.7 | most people are not working very hard. Now, many people are putting in large quantities of |
| 1:42.4 | hours. And one of the dynamics I'm going to share with you |
| 1:45.4 | is I don't believe we're working that hard anymore because I don't think we're that focused. |
| 1:49.2 | I don't think we're getting much out of the hours. I think we're putting in way too many hours. |
