HOW TO: Use Gmail as a Universal Email Client

You probably know I’ll all about productivity. I actually like to call it being efficiently lazy. When gmail made some recent changes I jumped to allow gmail the opportunity to manage all of my email. I can send from any address and access my account from any computer’s browser.

Derek Sisterhen joins me on the First Wednesday of every month to talk more about the specifics of our business and coaching in general.  I’m actually broadcasting from my bedroom, with a case of the…well, you can just listen if you want the details.

We had a great discussion about what your clothing means to your prospects. We discussed whether we may be losing clients because of the way we dress, and if that’s really a bad thing.

Justin Hughes asks, “do you come across clients that you really want to work with that turn you down?”

Over the past two weeks we brought on Jaime Thompson as a Financial Coach and Jory Butler as a Career Coach.  We’ll be introducing them to you over the next few months.  It’s interesting to work with other people, especially if they’re out of state, so we talked through the challenges and triumphs.

Gmail has become my friend lately and I’ll be releasing a tutorial showing you how I’m using is as my universal inbox. I’ve been loving it.

CoachU is now live! You can’t register for a few more weeks, but the details are all posted now at coachradio.tv/coachu.

Kevin Miller is the son of Dan Miller, author of 48 Days to the Work You Love.  He’s the host of the Free Agent Underground with me and the founder of the Free Agent Academy (where I’m a professor).

His dad used to bribe him with food when he was young to read books like How to Win Friends and Influence People.

Kevin’s been self-employed most of his life.  When he was 15, he tinted windows of cars.  He didn’t even have a driver’s license back then.

Kevin never went to college.  Instead, he spent money becoming self-employed and learning on his own.  Listen and learn how Kevin and his wife Teri dealt with debt and failed business.

One of Kevin’s businesses was financed with credit cards before the business went belly-up.  They were in debt to about $50,000.

Kevin partnered with someone to build a business which they then sold to a dot com.  He was never passionate about the work.  We talked about what it all mean to his relationship with his wife Teri.

We talked about how Kevin finally found and connected with his true passion; something he’s really excited about.

I realized that Kevin and I were both asking the same question, “wouldn’t it be great if I could do _____.”  Then he got out there and started doing to see if it was a good fit for him.

James Dibben asks “What kept you from losing confidence in yourself through all the mistakes and the consequences that follow?”

“Truth is simple, application is brutal.” – Kevin Miller
