If I asked you what three skills set the most effective people on the planet apart from everyone else, what would you say they are?

The new rock star career/life package is composed of three vital disciplines: 1. The psychology of effectiveness, 2. Productivity, and 3. Technology. Anyone who takes the time to harness these three disciplines will be WILDLY versatile and virtually immune to random external career corrections. Why? Because in addition to their subject matter expertise, they have the three master skills of effectiveness--key to swimming in any industry, any market, anywhere in the world.

Ok, you have my attention Nate, but how can I verify your fervent belief?

Ask yourself…
1. What discipline is omnipresent and exponentially growing every day? Technology!
2. What people are excellent leaders, magnetic, charismatic and confident in the way they move through the world? People who understand the mental game (AKA The Psychology of effectiveness)
3. What people GET THINGS DONE day in and day out no matter what you throw at them? People who understand the principles of productivity.

Fair enough Nate, but who supports your claim? Check out MEGA authors Daniel Pink, Thomas Friedman, Steven Covey, David Allen and Anthony Robbins.

I am a big fan of David Allen's "Getting Things Done." I have read it three times and it just keeps getting better! :) His other book "Ready for Anything" is one of my mottos. His system of organization is so great for being productive and eliminating stress at the same time.
