I’ve not yet read “No B.S. Time Management,” the newly revised book by Dan Kennedy and Ben Glass. But I loved Ben’s conversations with my friends Vance Morris and Stephen Oliver.
On “Systematic Magic with Vance Morris,” you’ll hear:
- How Ben manages to juggle nine kids, two businesses, and a thriving legal practice without losing his mind.
- Why time blocking is essential for entrepreneurs—and how to make it work for you.
- How to protect your time from “time vampires” and make decision-making a strength, not a struggle.
Great stuff! Listen on Apple or wherever you get your favorite podcast.
Stephen posted his interview with Ben on his YouTube channel. Stephen and Ben discussed:
- Effective time management is crucial for entrepreneurs to support their desired lifestyle and avoid stealing time from family/personal life
- Delegating tasks, setting boundaries on communication, and focusing on high-value activities are key strategies for maximizing productivity
- Regular, personalized client communication and showcasing one’s unique personality/interests are important for building strong professional relationships
- Joining mastermind groups and seeking coaching can provide valuable accountability and perspective for business growth
Great stuff!

Words to Ponder
“…Work in your ‘zone of genius.’ And figure out ways to get everything else to get done by other people, by systems, by technology in some cases. And stop messing around with things that are below your pay grade or things you’re not very good at.”
― Ben Glass, interviewed by Stephen Oliver
