It's today's mantra: "Too much to do, to little time." Those who have growing businesses are now saddled with more responsibilities and are even busier than ever. If the rapidly escalating symptoms of stress, fatigue and burnout are any indication many of these "successful people" are actually killing themselves.

But did you know that some of the highest achievers, who accomplish so much, actually work the least? And some of the world's most successful people actually lead very different lives than many of their chronically-overloaded counterparts.

Consider Kevin Devine, a consultant who found himself a decade ago (like many Americans) on the treadmill working 60 to 80 hours per week, earning significant income, but with no extra time to live life. While watching his children grow from the pictures on his desk he made a decision that many make but few realize. To set a goal to change his future. The goal was more free time without a decrease in his income.

Devine committed himself to change and personal development. Over a three-year period Devine decreased his working hours by 60% and increased his per-hour value by 500%!

THE COACH
Now Kevin Devine knows the answer, "these smart high achievers have mastered leveraging techniques that simplify and make their lives more valuable," he says. "Anyone can learn these simple methods," claims Devine. "They can help people prioritize what brings highest value, leaving plenty of free time for other things." Equipped with an insider's knowledge of the business world, he began teaching overburdened people how to make their lives more rewarding. Today Devine is an authority on successful time leveraging, sharpening prioritizing skills, and personal productivity. He's a consultant in demand who earns top dollar for his coaching skills. Devine teaches his clients how to change their work habits and block out periods of private time to accomplish creative work undisturbed.

One Kevin Devine success story concerns an executive at a leading company. her chronic overload was impeding her success. Devine helped her by developing an exit strategy, teaching her how to identify her optimum value, set goals that streamlined her day and implemented new ways to delegate effectively.

STEP OFF THE TREADMILL
"My mission," Devine says, "is to help my clients gain the freedom to enjoy their success, to feel that they're in control of their lives, and fulfill all of their goals." Devin's recommendations are practical and specific. Simple, action-oriented solutions which have been tested and proven in the real world. He explains what works for others and how potential clients can apply these lessons to their own lives.

Devine also shows how to cope with information overload, overcome workaholism, beat fatigue and stress, and develop "free-time" you never knew you had. And he reveals all of those time leveraging "secrets" of top high achievers.

RECAPTURING TIME
"My aim is to show people how to recapture precious time for themselves, their families, leisure, and personal pursuits," Devine continues, "The client will actually become more productive, making quicker, better decisions, and avoid falling victim to the pressures that are driving so many people to their wit's end."

Seminars can be valuable, but often prove to be a one-time fix. In contrast, ongoing, personal coaching serves as an accountability partner—a constant reminder, always nurturing the client's new ideas and motivating them to upgrade their knowledge and capabilities.

"What's more," Devine encourages, "this portfolio of skills will serve you well anywhere. You gain self-confidence, self-reliance, and a new sense of power and control over your destiny in all areas of your life."
