Tell me about your vision.
My vision
for not only myself personally, but for the clients, the people I work with and for everybody,
is for them to look at time differently.
Too many people look at their use of time reactively. They try to quote manage it.
That's where we get time management from.
I want to flip that script and I want to assist and help people and I want everyone to look at their time more proactively.
Where they're out there planning it more ahead of time.
So instead of managing it, they then optimize it.
So they're proactively continuously looking for ways they can use their time better.
Can you tell me more about that?
Sure. So today, most people that I work with, they are challenged with the fact that as they work during the course of the day,
many people react to events, circumstances that come their way.
Because they haven't prepared their day well enough.
And so therefore, they do a last in first out mentality where something comes their way.
They stop what they're doing.
They do that first and then find that all the other important avenues and things in their life aren't being addressed well.
And so therefore, what I want to do is to have people say stop, plan and invest time proactively up front.
So you're able to negotiate better when people want to use your valuable time.
You can turn around and and be able to address your needs first because you've planned yourself first.
That is an awesome way of putting it.
So, David, where did this vision of time management or time?
I can't get the exact word that you said.
Looking at optimization. Yes, optimization.
Where did that come from?
So I have had a long career in business development.
That's a fancy word for sales. And I learned early on that these amazing good looks and charisma weren't going to get me anywhere.
So I had to learn what am I going to be successful in as it relates to selling?
And I found where my niche came from is when I really focused on managing my time
and how I used my time and the fact that I wasn't going to lose the sale because of lack of preparation.
And that turned itself into what became my niche as a salesperson is that I made my time as efficient as possible for not only me, but for my clients.
That's an amazing way to put it.
Did you try selling anything before that?
No, I mean, I basically from college, I was in retail management for a little bit.
And then really, in essence, my first job out of college was starting in sales and I was in sales since then.
So since since my 20s. And you can tell I'm not in my 20s anymore.
Yeah, you're not.
So what is your lie behind what you do?
So my own personal purpose statement in life is to be able to use the time my time as effectively as possible in the time that God has given me.
