<h2>Tired of Missing Opportunities, Losing Track of Important Details,  		and Working Crazy Hours&#8230; All Because You&#8217;re Wearing So Many Hats?</h2>
<p>Finally&#8230; a proven solution to see the Big Picture and WIN in <em>this</em> economy while staying on  		top of all your projects, appointments and tasks without driving  		yourself (and those around you) stark raving crazy.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s face it, running a small business with not-quite-enough  		resources and <strong><em>definitely</em></strong> not enough help is tough.  Very tough.   		But even though you wear lots of hats and find yourself performing  		multiple job functions, you still wouldn&#8217;t trade it for a J-O-B.   		But maybe you <strong><em>could</em></strong> stand to stop working at a reasonable hour once in a while.</p>
<h2>Are you ready to multiply your productivity?</h2>
<blockquote>
<div class="small-testimonial"><em>&#8220;Managing is always the toughest part of being in business. MasterPlan™ has given me the tools to manage two businesses simultaneously without losing my mind! Thanks for a great tool!&#8221;</em>- <strong>Robert Henderson, President</strong><br />
Henderson’s Line-Up Brake &amp; RV, Inc. SuperSteer, Inc.</div>
</blockquote>
<p>Companies using the revolutionary MasterPlan™ solution are  		doing exactly that! Small and mid-sized businesses just like yours are:</p>
<ul>
<li>cutting their  overhead by 20%</li>
<li>increasing accountability for results</li>
<li>turning staff members into better self-managers, and</li>
<li>seeing performance <span style="text-decoration: underline;">skyrocket</span>!</li>
</ul>
<h2>Changing times require new solutions</h2>
<p>If you think about it, most of the management systems and tools we&#8217;re using are from the industrial age. Even text messaging, cell phones, voicemail and e-mail are nothing more than modified versions of industrial-era inventions&#8230;and they all waste so much time!</p>
<p>And yet the global economy has shifted so drastically in the 21st-Century, these outmoded tools are no longer capable of serving your needs &#8212; no matter how great you are at using them. Even the very best swimmers can&#8217;t keep up in the age of the speedboat!<a href="http://www.timasterplan.com" target="_blank"></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><a href="http://www.timasterplan.com" target="_blank">Find out how this amazing new tool can help you!</a></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Success or Significance?</h2>
<p>In 1960, a 20-year study of graduate students was begun. The study compared two groups of people depending upon how they answered this question:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Should I focus first on financial security, and <strong>then</strong> pursue what is fulfilling to me? Or should I follow my interests, and trust that money will eventually follow?&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>83% of the people in the study decided that making money should come first in order to create the opportunity to pursue their true interests. It&#8217;s a decision that most of us make when we face reality.</p>
<p>But as time goes by, we may find that a growing dissatisfaction with our work settles in. And we begin to question the validity of our decisions.</p>
<p><strong>Perhaps you&#8217;ve asked yourself&#8230;</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Should I continue working in a business or career that provides little satisfaction&#8230; because it pays the bills? Or have I reached a point in my life that it&#8217;s time do something significant?&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Looking back at the two groups of graduate students, during the study an amazing pattern emerged. After 20 years, 101 of them were millionaires. <a href="http://www.totalintegrationprogram.com/coaching3/" target="_blank">Only 1 of them came from the group&#8230;</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Scoring is necessary for job performance measurement and the improving of personal management skills. But it also tends to make people feel a bit insulted that they have to &#8220;prove&#8221; what they have or are doing.</p>
<p>One attempt to deal with this is to make scoring an AA contingent upon the score and to have two different scoring methods.</p>
<p><strong>Method One</strong>: Scoring When, How, How Long, and Results</p>
<p><strong>Method Two</strong>: Simply Scoring &#8220;Completed&#8221; which assumes all steps were followed and all outcomes accomplished.</p>
<p>That is: if you score an AA for a period of 4 weeks at higher than 2.8, then you earn the right to move to a different scoring method in which you don&#8217;t have to answer so many questions, you can simple get full credit for saying you did it.</p>

<ul>
<li>Time for screen reloads</li>

<p>Work being done on this particular item will be ongoing and systemwide. This will take some time and may not happen as fast as other changes due to the scale of this issue.</p>
<p>Some intermediate solutions are to have AA scoring occur in a &#8220;modal&#8221; box where the user still sees the entire page. For Example:</p>
