 It's finally here. All the productivity advice you've ever heard on Make it Snappy has been building up to THIS... It’s a CELEBRATION Snappy Nation!!! In case you haven’t heard, this is indeed the FINALE episode of The Make it Snappy Productivity Show and it’s a doozy. I’m going out with a SNAP! as we graduate from this particular platform to a new bold (somewhat terrifying) podcast. What to Expect from the Finale Today you’re going to get the best kept productivity secret ever known to man - and this is not even a remotely cliche statement. It has literally been a secret: I’ve been podcasting about productivity since Christmas of 2015 and I’ve never ever told you about this, and you’ve likely never made this connection… If you think about ALL the really good productivity stuff we’ve talked about through the years: morning rituals, time blocking, the ONE thing, the most PRODUCTIVE thing you could do, hands down, blows all the productivity advice you’ve ever heard out of the water. What's Next? We invite you to transition with us to a brand new podcast called Miracles &amp; Atheists. In this finale episode you'll get all the gory details about the new show, it's history, and my "why" behind taking this risky step way outside my comfort zone.

158 - The MOST Productive Thing You Can Do (That No One Wants to Talk About)

 Have you ever spent money on a course that overwhelmed you? Something that actually unmotivated you to do the thing you wanted to do? I’ve been thinking about why certain content resonates with me, and other content angers me.  It’s interesting, this online game. My guest this episode, Adrian Shepherd, is the productivity guy I’ve always wanted to be. He practices what he preaches by applying simplicity to productive living. Adrian was born in England, he moved to the Philippines, then Thailand, then to the United States, then to Japan, then BACK to the USA, then BACK to Japan!  He did all this traveling and moving around abroad because that’s the life he envisioned creating for he and his family. Adrian became an entrepreneur at the age of 26 with a mission to help people reach new levels of stunning achievement and unmatched excellence! Adrian wrote a book called iSucceed: Secrets for the Average Joe and Jane.  This episode also puts out some really good information about Nick Snapp’s new podcast, coming out very soon, called “Miracles &amp; Atheists.” Nick really breaks down this strange new project, including:   Why in the world would I launch such a weird thing?   What to expect from the new podcast.   The benefits to Make it Snappy listeners (if they follow Nick to Miracles &amp; Atheists).   A big surprise! (you’ll have to listen for that one...)

Sometimes you have the best intentions...yet, it still doesn’t work.  This episode is about taking a hard look in the mirror, and making the tough decision to say no. The podcast has been up and down, branded and re-branded, an emotional roller coaster to say the least, and a ton of effort. So there comes a time where you have to be real with yourself, and your audience. That’s what Brook and Nick did on this episode of The Make it Snappy Experiment.

Brook Borup of My Clone Solution teams up with Snappy Dee to explore the hypothesis that coaches, consultants and entrepreneurs, will be more productive when they realize what they do when they’re procrastinating.

138 - How to Side Hustle the RIGHT way (w/ Tracey Minutolo)

7-Figures in 7-Weeks...do you REALLY believe that? I'm so tired of the guru-marketing hype. Can you make 7-figures? Absolutely! Can you do it in 7-weeks? Ummm...let's check ourselves for a few moments before I answer that question. There are a lot of sleazy people out there trying to sell you the idea of creating a 7-figure passive income stream with ease. The reality is, this take A LOT of work...totally possible, many have done it, but you need to be on your A-Game and there’s a lot that goes into it. It all starts with testing and validating your online course or product idea. Validating doesn’t mean getting people to say “yes,” they’ll buy, it means getting people to pull out their wallets and purchase your idea. It’s totally doable, and I’ll walk you through the process that I’ve developed and continue to refine to achieve results. It’s all about testing here on The Make it Snappy Experiment and I’m honored to have been interviewed by my new co-host Brook Borup. Let’s have some fun today and if you listen all the way through....we’ve got an amazing challenge for you that will totally skyrocket your productivity at work!

144 - Why Rebrand the Podcast? (w/Nick Snapp)

Josh Haynam joined the Make it Snappy Productivity Show as a guest for episode 140,  The Case for Doing Things Differently, where he decoded the blueprint behind the success of his company, Interact and how after repeated shortcomings, he was able to stay motivated and implement routines to grow his company and build his brand.   Motivation is defined as "the general desire or willingness of someone to do something." Having the desire to do something is half the battle while physically getting it done is the real challenge. We examine five tactics that everyone can use to find the motivation they need to get ahead in business and their personal lives. Nobody feels motivated every moment of every single day, but being able to channel motivation when you need it most can be the difference between where you are and where you want to be.   In this episode, Sharlene and Snappy Dee go over five sure-fire ways to bring back the motivation you need to overcome your hurdles and reach your goals. Some of them seem obvious, and others not so much. Take a listen to find out if any of these tips can work for you!
