🙋 A request for recommendations (win $250)

Who have been the best professionals you have worked with?

I am looking for noteworthy professionals that I may be able to cross-promote and collaborate with.

You know some great people, and I want to know about them.

Who have you had a good experience with? Who would you personally recommend?

I am looking for:

• Coaches

• Consultants

• Therapists

• Accountants

• Ad agencies

• Marketing and PR agencies

• Business groups/communities

• Course sellers

• Lawyers

• Business incorporation services

• Financial advisors/wealth managers

• VA agencies

  
  

…and any other professionals or services you have worked with that you think I should know about and you would recommend. From any country.

Reply to this email, tell me who you are recommending and why, and provide a link to their website or LinkedIn.

I am giving a $250 prize to someone who replies with a recommendation.

Each appropriate business or professional you recommend will count as one entry into the draw.

One winner will be picked at random at 14:00 UK time on Tuesday 16th April and the winner will be announced in the next Work Smart Wednesday on 17th April.

💡 Quote I'm pondering

"What's money? A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and inbetween he does what he wants to do” - Bob Dylan

People forget that money is a tool. Having no money sucks, but having too much money can also suck.

Often, this is because people have forgotten what the point was - why are you bothering to make any money?

It seems like a frivolous question, but it is genuinely important to know. And to remind yourself of regularly.

It is far too easy to get caught up chasing numbers and to lose sight of what you’re doing. I like this perspective from Bob Dylan, remember why you wake up.

P.s. this could lead into a bigger point about how the language we use to describe ourself and our situation has a massive effect on motivation and procrastination. There is a big difference between telling yourself “I have to do x” vs “I get to do x” or “I choose to do x”. But that is a bigger post for another time…
