How do I find the time to do it all? | #AskDavidMeltzer 18
People always ask me how I manage my time or how I find the time for all the activity in my life and I always tell them to be a student of their calendar. There are three things you need to study on your calendar, not just look at, but study. 1. Study the things you have planned for the day. Look to create efficiencies with your habits. For example, I have a 5/20 Rule, where I try to schedule...

How Can I Find the Right People to Help Me Break Into an Industry | #AskDavidMeltzer 16
People always make the excuse that they don't know anyone that can help them break into their industry of choice, but how many of them are consistently asking, "Do you know anyone that can help me?" Most people have over 1,00 people in their network, so by simply asking one person a day if they know anyone that can help you, you can expand your network by over 30,000 people a month. If you wa...

Why am I so vulnerable with the mistakes I've made? | #AskDavidMeltzer 15
One of my favorite quotes is from the poet David White, "Vulnerability is not a weakness, a passing in the position or something we can arrange to do without vulnerability is not choice. Vulnerability is the underlying, ever present, and abiding under current of all natural state." In order to be vulnerable, we must illuminate our mistakes. Being vulnerable means that you are honest and accou...

Can I use anxiety to motivate myself | #AskDavidMeltzer 13
Fear and anxiety will motivate you, but it will drain you. It will get you started, but in reality it is slowing you down. Use the focus that fear and anxiety give you, and transition it into inspiration. Imagine that you are running a race, using fear and anxiety is just like adding weights to a backpack.

What would you tell your 20-year-old self? | #AskDavidMeltzer 12
