Pat, have read Toyota Kata (kata meaning "routine")? It is a book based on process based business success. You might also value Theory of Constraints (The Goal is the extended story version of the concepts). Toyota Kata provides the how methodology, but Theory of constraints provides the what that needs the current focus. The principles can be applied to pretty much any facet of life, be it business or personal.

Pat. This is the first video of yours I stumbled upon. However, I can not tell you how vastly this video spoke to me. I'm at a turning point in my photography and was literally yesterday trying to design habits around how to improve. I love your insight, the scope of your approach, and the universal applicableness any photographer could adopt with these 4 habits. Plus, you're a phenomenal teacher and endearing to watch. Subscribed AF and look forward to watching all your content. THANK YOU!
