If you want to master your craft you've got to hear this conversation with Jay Papasan. Jay co-authored The ONE Thing - The Surprisingly simple Truth Behind Extraordinary Results with Gary Keller. It has been translated into 24 languages and has more than 275 national bestseller list appearances, including #1 on the Wall Street Journal and has sold millions of copies. When I ask many top entrepreneurs one of the most impactful books they read, "The One Thing" comes up over and over. The journey for Jay has been interesting from translator to teacher of poetry and creative writing at NYU to HarperCollins to Keller-Williams Realty and best selling author. Here's a glimpse of what you'll learn: [0:23] Jeremy's introduction to Jay Papasan. [1:36] The conversation Jay had with Gary Keller in the bathroom. [5:09] The amazing success of the book that nobody predicted. [7:04] The system Jay used to promote and organize/write the book. [16:02] The ONE THING that you should focus on in THE ONE THING book. [22:23] Time blocking, Jay's personal time management skills, and his most common personal distractions. [30:00] Jay's personal productivity practices from his "one thing" philosophy. [35:03] The biggest lies or myths relating to the one thing approach. [37:10] What was in the 200 pages that got cut from the book? [43:09] The hurdles Jay had to overcome in creating the book. [49:00] Jay's lowest point in business and life. [52:00] The proudest moments Jay has experienced. In this episode… Many people talk a good talk about being a master of their craft, but few know how to accomplish it. Jay Papasan and his co-author Gary Keller (of Keller-Williams fame) have written "The One Thing" to enable anyone to discover and walk the path of mastery in any area of life. Jay shares the basic concepts and approach in this conversation. The book "The One Thing" was originally written for real estate professionals within the Keller-Williams organization. Neither of the co-authors, Gary Keller and Jay Papasan (the guest on this episode) expected it would become a continual best-seller. You can hear how the book took off and the promotion strategy that was used to give it an incredible launch, on this episode. Those who want to master their craft have to learn how to master themselves. That's one of the primary things emphasized in the smash hit book, "The One Thing." Jay Papasan shares how he and Gary Keller came up with the idea for the book and how it teaches effective time and personal mastery skills that enable anyone to become a master of the things they are most passionate about. Jay Papasan believes that most people don't really believe in the 80/20 rule, despite what they might say. The thing that has convinced him of it is that few people actually do the things they know they should according to the 80/20 maxim. On this episode of Inspired Insider Jay shares how he teaches people the practice of time blocking to enable them to reach new heights in personal mastery and productivity. Being the co-author a best-selling book like "The One Thing" hasn't changed Jay Papasan. He's still the same down-to-earth, easy speaking guy he was before the book took over the best-seller charts. In this conversation, you can hear Jay's casual, authentic way of addressing vital topics in all areas of life. You'll be greatly helped by what he shares so be sure you clear out some time to listen to this conversation.

When a customer decides to cancel an order - a big order - it's not an easy thing to handle. On today's episode Manuel Becvar shares the impact a large cancelled order had on his business as it was just starting to scale. Manuel is the founder of Import Dojo. He has been living and working in China for over 10 years, with 17 years in the sourcing business. He has a unique perspective because he has his own brand, sells to retailers and is a supplier. He has worked with the biggest retailers in the world, developing, sourcing, and finding new products. These include: Wal-Mart, Amazon, Lowes, Sears, Home Depot, and many others. He is author of The Import Bible: the complete beginners guide to successful importing from China. a glimpse of what you'll learn: [0:14] Jeremy's introduction to Manuel Becvar, founder of Import Dojo. [1:34] Manuel's lowest moment in business so far. [5:29] Places you can go to connect with Manuel. [6:28] Business ideas Manuel wants you to steal (because he doesn't have time to act on them). In this episode… Any product business lives or dies on the orders of regular customers. It's a vital part of the way things work. When one of those large clients abruptly cancels a large order the company is depending on, something has to give. On this episode, Manuel Becvar tells of his lowest point in business, when a large client did cancel their order suddenly. You'll be encouraged by the way Manuel handled this unexpected challenge, so be sure you listen. One of the impacts of losing a big order is that the supplies and resources to fulfill that order may have already been purchased. That means cash flow is restricted and the ability to service other customers effectively could be hampered. Manuel Becvar tells how he and his company dealt with the loss of an important order, on this episode of Inspired Insider. Many savvy business owners set aside reserve funds - savings if you will - for that unexpected event that could destroy the company if cash reserves aren't available. When Import Dojo was suddenly informed that a big order from a customer was canceled the company had to draw on its savings in order to offset the costs already spent. Manuel Becvar tells how the company rebounded from the disappointing loss of that order, on this episode. When a customer order is canceled many things can be effected in a negative way: payroll, other customer orders, overall cash flow, and more. Every company CEO wants to be past the point of one lost order causing a lot of problems, but when the company is in its early stages, it's almost unavoidable. Find out how Manuel Becvar and the Import Dojo team weathered the situation in its early days, on this episode.

[23:45] How Simple Squares uses Amazon to distribute and sell products. [25:45] What it means for a snack food to truly be "clean." [30:42] Kimberly's lowest moment getting the business running. [33:20] The proudest moment Kimberly has had: A New York Times interview. In this episode… The Healthy Food industry is a growing but very competitive niche. It's not every day that new startup company in the space makes a splash, much less a success.

You can hear her inspiring story here, so be sure you take the time to listen. What's it take to build a healthy foods brand from nothing all the way to Whole Foods and Starbucks? A lot of hard work, sweat, tears, and mistakes. Kimberly Crupi Dobbins is the founder of Simple Squares. She's walked that difficult road and made it through.

If you are in the hard times of building your own business you'll be inspired by how Kimberly and her team have persevered, so be sure to listen. One of the most powerful points Kimberly Crupi Dobbins makes on this episode of Inspired Insider is that she couldn't have made it in the health foods industry without building relationships based on good will.

Is there anything you can't pronounce? It's not clean. Is there anything listed that's unknown to you? It could be a sign that it's not a truly "clean" food. Kimberly Crupi Dobbins shares the Simple Squares success story and what it takes to produce a truly clean health food product, on this episode.

Quitting a job with nothing to fall back on is nothing new to Jim Simon and on this episode you'll hear his story. Jim Simon is co-founder of JimmyBar. He and his sister Annette started the company together. This is his 6th start up and he decided to tackle the obesity epidemic by creating a natural foods company.

On this episode of Inspired Insider, you can hear Jim Simon's story of how he did just that to create JimmyBars. While it's not the path everyone should choose, Jim says he'd rather earn $20K per year working for himself than work for someone else for much more. Would you?
