Dear John,

One of Dad’s often-repeated quotes is this: “Too many people spend more time planning how to get the job than on how to become productive and successful in that job.”

Isn’t that so true?

That’s why I’m really excited today to share with you an event that is focused on exactly what Dad’s talking about: being intentional about maximizing productivity.

TODAY the Peak Work Performance Summit kicks off, and believe me, you do not want to miss it!

Ron Friedman,PhD, the Summit’s organizer, has brought together an almost unbelievable group of highly sought-after experts, most of whom charge thousands of dollars to talk at corporate events and seminars.

And for the next 10 days, you can hear any one of them at absolutely no cost, with no strings attached!

For example, here are the five talks that are kicking off the Summit today:

Daniel Pink – Motivating Top Performance (12:00pm ET)

You’ll learn:

• The 3 keys to performing at your best
• The secret to recovering from setbacks (and what to tell yourself the next time you fail)
• Why you should stop conducting post-mortems after a project is finished, and start conducting pre-mortems before you begin

Shawn Achor – Staying Positive in a Stressful Workplace (1:00pm ET)

You’ll learn:

• Why being happy makes you more productive
• How to stay positive after receiving bad news

Todd Herman – What Top Performers Do Differently (3:00pm ET)

You’ll learn:

• How to achieve a winning mindset by leveraging the power of “negative preparation”
• The single best indicator of day-to-day success for a business professional
• The one thing top performers in any field need in order to get to the next level -- and what you can do to get it right now

Todd Henry – How to Be Brilliant at a Moment’s Notice (4:00pm ET)

You’ll learn:

• Why you should avoid scheduling 60 minute meetings
• How you can conserve mental energy by batching similar activities
• Why seeking comfort in your career rarely leaves you feeling satisfied

These topics read like a list of Dad’s biggest lessons, don’t they? I’m really excited about this Summit, and I’m lining up my calendar accordingly!

I hope you’ll be able to do the same.
