    Nick Sonnenberg is an entrepreneur, Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author, Inc. columnist, and guest lecturer at Columbia University. Before founding Leverage, he spent eight years working as a high-frequency trader on Wall Street where he developed a love for (and obsession with) efficiency. The CPR® Business Efficiency Framework is the culmination of Nick’s unique perspective on the value of time, efficiency, and automation that he’s developed over nearly a decade of working with teams of all sizes and across all industries. It consistently results in greater output, less stress, happier employees, and the potential to gain an extra full day per week in productivity per person—just by using the right tools in the right way, at the right time. He does a deep dive into all of this in his book Come Up for Air: How Teams Can Leverage Systems and Tools to Stop Drowning in Work.

    Ep.108 HIGHLIGHT I How to find, format, and live out your values
    WANT THE FULL EPISODE? Check out Ep.108 I Sanger D. Smith I Deciding with the Decision Lab Process: Make the Most of Your Wealth Using These 5 Key Decisions, or download it directly using this link.

    This week, Sanger shares the 5 Key Decisions everyone must make to achieve significance in life and business.

    As a private wealth advisor and the founder of a wealth management firm, Sanger has spent his career helping people transform their wealth to significance. And over the years, he has developed a proprietary approach we call the Decision Lab process.

    We designed this process to help clients build the right financial plan, one that is customized and truly transforms their wealth to significance. The fundamental principle of this process is to take clients through the “5 Key Decisions,” each of which will create opportunities for other decisions that all help clients make the most of their wealth.

    Foundationally, the five most important decisions one can make in life and business are:

    1. Decide who you are.
    2. Decide where you are.
    3. Decide where you are going.
    4. Decide how to get there.
    5. Decide who matters.
