The accomplishment not only makes me feel proud of our work, it makes me feel grateful for you: our readers and customers.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nTo compile the list, Inc. magazine tracks three-years' worth of growth. Over those three years, Michael Hyatt & Company grew 330 percent. We\u2019re ranked <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inc.com\/profile\/michael-hyatt-company\">1,235 out of 5,000<\/a> who made the list. There are about 26 million businesses in America, so that\u2019s quite an achievement. And we owe it to you. <!--more--><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<h3>The Struggle is Real<\/h3>\n<p>Based on years of interaction with my audience, I know you\u2019re a well-educated, high achiever who wants to exceed the status quo in every area of life. And that\u2019s important. Because when people like you reach your full potential,<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>businesses have leaders people strive to emulate;<\/li>\n<li>our country is full of happy marriages;<\/li>\n<li>kids have their moms and dads at night; and<\/li>\n<li>you have the health and vitality necessary to fuel your dreams.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>One intentional choice at a time, you make the world around you better.<br \/>\nBut it isn\u2019t easy, is it? Sometimes we feel like bad amateur plate spinners, just trying to keep it all going. As my daughters say, the struggle is real.<br \/>\nAs a successful entrepreneur or leader, you feel as if life is coming at you faster than you can manage it. Time is short, your to-do list is long, and the important things never seem make the list, at least not as often as you want.<br \/>\nI understand those dynamics and have worked to create frameworks and tools to help high achievers cut through the distractions, stay productive, and make more margin in their lives for what really matters. And you\u2019re the reason I do it.<br \/>\n\t\t<aside class=\"tweetable tweetalign_center\" style=\"width:100%\">\n\t\t\t<blockquote>\n\t\t\t\tOne intentional choice at a time, you make the world around you better.<cite>Michael Hyatt<\/cite>\n\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\t\t\t<ul class=\"actions\">\n\t\t\t\t<li class=\"icon-arrow\"><a class=\"icon-twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?source=tweetbutton&text=One%20intentional%20choice%20at%20a%20time%2C%20you%20make%20the%20world%20around%20you%20better.%20https%3A%2F%2Ffullfocus.co%2F%3Fp%3D37418&via=michaelhyatt\" title=\"Share Quote on Twitter\" target=\"_blank\">Tweet<span> Quote<\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/aside><\/p>\n<h3>We Grow When You Do<\/h3>\n<p>As I see it, we\u2019re growing because you are\u2014in at least three ways.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Winning at work.<\/strong> I first started blogging and podcasting to share my insights about productivity. Over the years, I\u2019ve learned and refined my discoveries into frameworks and tools like Free to Focus and the Full Focus Planner. Your investment in resources like these has propelled our business forward\u2014and hopefully your life as well.<br \/>\nWorkplace engagement is <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhyatt.com\/team-engagement.html\">down the world over<\/a>, but I see an overwhelming number of our readers, customers, and coaching clients who are <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhyatt.com\/job-satisfaction.html\">thriving in their work<\/a>. Of course, by itself, that\u2019s not enough.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Succeeding at life.<\/strong> Life is interconnected. If you win at work but fail in the life\u2019s other domains, you won\u2019t be able to maintain that success. Eventually the bill comes due, and it\u2019ll cost you your relationships, your health, and more.<br \/>\nYou know that and strive for not only balance but forward momentum in all areas of life. Books like <em>Living Forward<\/em> and our 5 Days to Your Best Year Ever course (<a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.com\/0801075254\/?tag=mhyatt-20\">soon to be book!<\/a>) have helped well over a hundred thousand people so far not only reach their goals, but also build <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhyatt.com\/tag\/marriage\">healthy marriages<\/a>, preserve <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhyatt.com\/tag\/margin\">margin<\/a>, and invest in <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhyatt.com\/tag\/conversation\">significant relationships<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhyatt.com\/tag\/exercise\">personal vitality<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Leading with confidence.<\/strong> When you\u2019re winning at work and succeeding at life, you can lead from a place of confidence\u2014and that only grows the more you step into it. And as I explain <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhyatt.com\/gain-more-confidence.html\">here<\/a>, you learn you have the capabilities, resources, and strategies to overcome challenges and reach your objectives.<br \/>\nWhat I love most about this part of our business is that it\u2019s an upward spiral. I see it all the time in our audience. As they get traction, their confidence tends to build and grow. What once seemed impossible becomes relatively easy. And then it\u2019s time for bigger, more significant goals.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>There\u2019s one more part to this success story I want to mention because it exemplifies what I\u2019ve said so far in another way.<\/p>\n<h3>Teamwork Makes the Dream Work<\/h3>\n<p>I put a huge value on my <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhyatt.com\/team\">team<\/a>. There\u2019s a reason Michael Hyatt <em>& Company<\/em> landed on the Inc. 5000 list. I couldn\u2019t have served you to the level I have without the creativity, energy, and enthusiasm of my team.<br \/>\nI can\u2019t tell you how much joy it gives me to see them winning at work, succeeding at life, and leading with confidence.<br \/>\nI\u2019ve written before about the <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhyatt.com\/season-3-episode-13-why-is-retirement-a-terrible-idea-podcast.html\">dangers of retirement<\/a>. I can\u2019t say it\u2019s a temptation for me. Every day I come to work I get the chance to help leaders like you do what you do best, and work side-by-side with some of my favorite people in the world.<br \/>\nThank you!<br \/>\n<div class=\"reminder\">How can we better help you win at work, succeed at life, and lead with confidence?<\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019m excited to announce that Michael Hyatt &#038; Company was just named to the Inc. 5000, which ranks America\u2019s fastest-growing private companies.
