“While I appreciate the invite, right now we’ve made a strategic decision to concentrate on more speaking engagements and workshops. So if you have one of those, great! But if you’d like to discuss a new unrelated opportunity/idea, we simply don't have the time or the manpower to do it right now.

I'm sure you understand and hope to see you at the next Miami Marketers Happy Hour!”

outsourceThanks for your email.

In an effort to free up time and become more efficient & effective, I'm outsourcing my inbox ;)

Patti & Corrisa will be monitoring my incoming business emails, booking my speaking engagements, scheduling appointments, & answering most incoming emails for the time being.

Should you urgently need to speak with me, text me at [email protected]. I will answer or call you back at my earliest convenience. However, I am "batching" communications and responding once or twice a day at most. Please do not add this email to any subscription lists or mailing lists.

I appreciate your helping me to automate, outsource and delegate all non-essential tasks in an effort to "upgrade my life." If you are interested in performing your own experiment, here are a few book recommendations:

1. The 4-Hour Workweek2. Upgrade Your Life3. Never Check Email in the Morning

Thank you!
