Gresham Harkless shares his journey as a franchise broker, focusing on time management, entrepreneurship, and starting a business.    He emphasizes that many people delay taking action because they feel they need to have everything perfect and all their time available.    Gresham highlights the importance of focusing on the key activities that produce the most significant results rather than trying to do everything.   Gresham also discusses Parkinson's Law, which suggests that work expands to fill the time allocated for it.  He uses an example from his friend Dave, who transitioned out of his full-time job using "power hours"—intentional, focused time to make progress toward his business goals.    Gresham recommends that even dedicating a small amount of focused time, like an hour or 10–20 minutes, can significantly move things forward.   Blue Star Franchise: http://bluestarfranchise.com Browse the Franchise Inventory: https://bluestarfranchise.com/franchise Is franchising right for you?
