Dear Direct Response Letter Subscriber:
Most entrepreneurs underestimate the cost of a single word in their business life.
That word is "yes."
Every time you say yes to a low-value request, you are automatically saying no to something else that is often more important: concentrated work, family time, health, or strategic thinking.
Economics calls this "opportunity cost" — the value of the next best alternative you had to give up.
When you add up these small yeses — the "quick favor," the extra Zoom call, the unscreened meeting — they begin to form an invisible tax on both income and quality of life. You feel busy, but the needle does not move.
The solution is not working longer hours. The solution is improving selectivity.
My colleague Igor Kheifets built his schedule around this principle.
He deliberately reduced the number of things he says yes to and focused only on a small number of activities that directly drive revenue and results. The outcome was predictable: fewer hours, less stress, and higher income.
Now, Igor is presenting his complete 80/20 Productivity System. It is a practical framework for identifying high-value activities, declining low-value requests without guilt, and restructuring your time around what matters most.
If your calendar is full but progress feels slow, this may be the underlying reason.
