Welcome to Daring Daily On Demand, your most trusted resource to help you become better

every day.

Here's your success mentor, Daring Hardy.

Okay, welcome back.

Let's begin step three in beating the dog days of summer.

So before we step further, let me remind you of the strong current that you are fighting

against.

The dog is strong and mighty.

The dog stars summer lethargy kills you and your team's productivity by a full 20% which

compounded amongst your team is devastating.

What I have been teaching you so far is you cannot fight this force with force.

I have been teaching you what is known as a keto in martial arts and that is how to take

this opposing force instead of fighting against it, use this force for your productive power.

The reason why the dog dominates your office is that you don't work with the summer vibrations.

You have to allow, no, you have to use the summer to drive focus, to drive engagement

and drive high productivity in compressed periods of time for the benefit and the reward

of being able to summer.

But if you just try to fight force with force, continue to work as normal and not ever

feel those good, good, good vibrations, then that is when downshifting happens.

Projects take longer, lunch breaks get longer, and personal shopping, internet and social

media browsing become your team's escape hatch.

So step number three to make sure that you work with the dog star and not against it.
