Thinking Outside The Clock ™ Success Stories

I followed Ann’s system and began to experience several breakthroughs. The first thing I decided to do was to take a day off each week. I committed to taking Sundays off. No catch-up work, no emails, no phone calls.

It was a little difficult that first Sunday morning as my desk was "calling me". But after I spent the morning reading a good book, the afternoon with my family and the evening preparing a simple meal and enjoying my favorite TV shows, I decided it was worth it. I felt refreshed on Monday and quickly completed everything I would have just piddled at on Sunday.

My next breakthrough came I decided to set business hours and not answer the business phone after those hours. My office is in my home and it was very hard for me to just let the phone calls go to voice mail. I used to feel like I was letting "potential deals" get away. Then one morning when I was returning phone calls from the voicemail messages, I set up an appointment with someone that led to a $20,000 deal for my company.

I now believe that if someone is really interested in my services then they will either leave a message or call back during business hours.

I had burned myself out already once, not so severely as you but bad enough and didn’t have a lot to show for it and also you seemed very real.

The most valuable part of the course was the staying focused sheets, the way it forces you to lump your tasks and cuts down on being scattered.

It opened my eyes on the way I spend my day. The most important section is working the steps to figure of which tasks really makes me money and to focus more on them.

Since joining the Focus 20 Success Club I have found that I am more careful in my effort to stay on track and hit my targets.

I feel accountable to do what I say I am going to do because I know that I will be in contact with Ann and the other club members through our monthly calls and on the extra accountability section of the bulletin board.

It allows you to get very specific and to get things in writing for your own reference as well as on public record for added motivation. These are two of my favorite aspects of the club.

For the first time in 5 years, my future feels secure as I don’t feel that I am doing it alone anymore, or that I am aimlessly wandering. This is a 100% improvement over the past 5 years.

I have 100% more focus than ever before. I can now do what is important and make better decisions on how to spend my time.

I am more sure of myself and have a better outlook than I have been in the past.

The Focus 20 Club has taken the guesswork out of my future, and if something changes, I know I have the tools to make the best choices.

And it only took a few months in the club. The beauty of it is that for me it is an ongoing process, with the results deepening as each month passes

I have had a problem with running in circles ever since I had my 3 children, and especially since I added my home business to it.

When I worked with Ann Rusnak and The Focus 20 Success Club I saw an immediate improvement and I have been making steady progress with both my family and business.

A chapter could easily be written about me in one of those Women-Who-Do-Too-Much books.

I divide my time between work, my coaching practice, public speaking, volunteering and developing a ministry. Being so busy meant that it was important that I maintain clarity and focus—which is challenging.

When I worked with Ann Rusnak and The Focus 20 Success Club we were able to clear up this problem in just two months and I have had a 50% increase in personal success as well as business success. I am now able to focus easily and maintain clarity — with less stress!

I am impressed by the results I achieved. I look forward to remaining a Focus 20 Success Club member.

I can say from personal experience that it is one of the best programs out there for both personal and business time management. Ann Rusnak has created a powerful 15 minute time leveraging system that will allow you to get more done with less effort.

I know that you’ve probably tried many different time management programs and none of them seem to work. I tried many different plans out there only to be disappointed time and time again. I couldn’t figure out why they didn’t work for ME. Well considering most courses are not very ADHD-friendly it is no wonder why they fail.

What I really like about this system is the simple step by step set up plan and the worksheets. Everything you need is included in the package so you aren’t left trying to figure out how to make it work. To top it off the customer service is second to none. In today’s internet age that is extremely rare.

She even offers a monthly chat session where you can ask her any questions you might have! What other program out there offers you the chance to speak directly with the author and ask how to make their program work for you? You really can’t lose by trying it out yourself to see if you can finally get rid of the chaos in your life, get more done in less time and actually relax a little.

The concept of blocking days ahead of time and during each month has helped me the most. I really like the Stuff Days which allow me more time for focusing on MMA Days.

I found more time in my schedule and learned how to better balance 3 different businesses and life with family and loved ones.

I’ve been a member of the Focus 20 Success Club for 6 months.

As I worked through the first week, 30-Day Road Map in hand, I actually felt like I had A Road Map for the first time in my life. While I’ve been extremely blessed over the years with a productive and effective lifestyle, I finally felt like I was really “in the driver’s seat”.

By focusing on the different categories that are part of the 30-Day Road Map, “my tires were balanced” and the “engine was running on all 8 cylinders”. I felt by the 3 rd week of the month that I had “a full tank of gas” in terms of energy levels and I could see my end of month destination fast approaching.

One example of the 30-Day Road Map’s impact for me is that I have now been to the gym 10 out of 10 times, over the last 3 weeks.

Prior to the Focus 20 Success club, my exercise was always the first item do get replaced from my to-do list.

By focusing on a targeted set of goals, I am now seeing that whatever I choose to focus on will happen. Thanks!

Ann has done a fantastic job of really thinking through what tools are needed and how to best use them.

I enjoy participating in several guest speaker conference calls. The speakers are highly qualified and do a great job of interacting with the Focus 20 Club participant.

I enthusiastically recommend the Focus 20 Success Club to anyone, especially those who are already doing well “in the journey of life”, but want a better map to arrive at the destination more refreshed, focused and ready for the next day!

I pride myself in being well organized but there are still not enough hours in the day!

I wanted to refine time spent on chores and necessities so that I can practice smelling the roses, read, sew, garden, correspond, practice the piano, enjoy Toastmasters, keep up with friendships - all at a more leisurely pace.

Your worksheet help identify how the minutes can fly when one is involved. The 15 minute exercises proved interesting and fun. They made me get down to the activities instead of letting piling them up in my head! I learn not to over schedule and give myself time out.

The biggest lesson I learned from your hard work with me that I am applying is how to delegate work and not to get bogged down in it. I also learned from your efforts of last month is I keep on repeating to myself ‘FOCUS’!!!!!!!!!

And I’m proud to say it is working… I have managed to emphasize this attitude to my entire family and I see the understanding in their behavior!!! And I am happy to say that ever since I started to  repeat "FOCUS" to myself, I am getting more customers, more offers of business and more work to do in my husband’s office…
