Jamie Newman spent over 8 years helping companies hire people. This included consulting work for engineering firms, major energy producers, and other Fortune 100 companies. Although he had the luxuries of job stability, a 6-figure salary, and unlimited opportunities for personal and professional development, he decided to walk away from his career to pursue his passion. Jamie founded YourBestManager.com with one simple goal: to help first-time managers learn how to build, manage and lead an effective team.
Finding Discipline and Focus
What things are slowing you down? Or what things are stopping you from either starting or completing a project?
A first step is identifying what you know is a roadblock before you can strategize how to remove it or get around it.
In Episode 8 of the LaunchingOut! Podcast, Anne-Marie paints success as a trudge.
“Success doesn’t happen overnight,” she says. “It’s a trudge of baby steps each and everyday”.
Productivity, discipline, and focus...one of those might be what you're missing or maybe all of them! But this could be the solution you've been looking for.

Do It Scared
Earlier this year my wife Andrea and I had a friend over who was sharing the details of a job opportunity all the way across the country. She was nervous and scared about the change and about all of the unknowns. She had done several interviews via phone and Skype, but had never even been to this city where she was now considering moving.
As we talked, it became increasingly clear (to us) that this job was a REALLY good fit for our friend and we asked what was holding her back. We discovered that among other smaller things, fear was the big one.
Launching Out w/Darius Nabors
Darius quit his job to embark on a journey to visit all 59 National Parks in 59-weeks. As a kid, Darius' dad took him to National Parks and shared with him the grandeur that National Parks have to offer. To accomplish his dream, Nabors decided to embark on a journey to visit all 59 parks as part of the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service.
Evaluation & Setting Benchmarks
In this fast-paced life, it is important to make time for self-evaluation and setting benchmarks. If we don't measure something, we will be unable to track progress.
This past week I took a LifeScore™ Assessment provided by Michael Hyatt. I have been traditionally bad at follow through, so I am trying to take very active steps towards improvement. This self-evaluation took less than 10 minutes
