The Friday before Christmas I posted on my Facebook page:
“Hit LIKE if you are NOT taking the day off, but instead you’re earning the dinero and getting stuff done while everybody else parties and drinks hot chocolate.”
That got more shout-outs than almost anything I’ve ever posted!
Today the phones are quiet and half the vendors are away and if you’re reading this today, you’re probably cleaning up loose ends, furiously preparing for 2012.
I’m working on the Google 3rd edition book (which will be a full step better than the previous); planning programs for early 2012 and building out my new Private Client Group.
The compound interest you earn in the rest of the year is considerable. It means while most people won’t get their act together until about January 20, you’ll hit the ground running on January 2.
And though entrepreneurs don’t get a lot of gratitude from the rest of the world, we members of Planet Perry understand the power of what you do.
Stay tuned because on January 9 I’m introducing “80/20 Productivity Express.” What is it? Bottom line, it’s about getting 30 minutes more real work done every single day in 2012 than you got done in 2011. Which also earns huge compound interest.
REMEMBER THIS:
*Everything* you do – everything – earns compound interest.
For most people, it’s a string of growing liabilities and messes that never get cleaned up.
For some, it’s the upward spiral of being more in control, having more choices, and being more satisfied with how you spend each day.
You alone decide.

Not only am I working today but today is my birthday! Next year is going to rock so I’m trying to make sure we are ready to roll as soon as the ball drops!
I salute you as well Perry. Quick question, is the 3rd edition book you are mentioning the Ultimate Guide to Google Adwords? If so, when will it be released? I have been in touch with one of your staff, Josh in Texas and he has been EXTREMELY helpful and Adwords is on my 2012 agenda. Someone ran a free Adwords promo using my site and I was impressed with the results. Now, I will say this. I am not putting all my eggs in the Adwords nest, not even close. However, this is something I need to start in 2012. Thanks Perry and congrats on the new bundle, she’s really cute!
Edwin,
It’s the Ultimate Guide bookstore book. It’ll be out in 6 months or so, but don’t wait for it to come out. That would cost you much in lost opportunity. Just get the one that’s out now and you can upgrade later for twenty bucks.
