MEET TALINA
Words of wisdom from the Productivity Master
Talina Sen Smet is the founder of Productivity Master and author of Path to Productivity, a #1 best selling self-help book on Amazon.
Since she was a young child she has always wanted to do well in school, participate in a host of extracurricular activities, go out with friends and family, watch a lot of TV and have time to just relax. She realized it wasn’t so easy to do it all, but she wanted it all. So she did a lot of research and experimenting and created a system that works. She understands and appreciates how valuable time is and wanted to share her knowledge with others to help them use their time wisely and live a full and balanced life.
The 17-year-old created a system that empowers people to live a fuller life by increasing their productivity.
Path to Productivity, she says, shows readers how to train their brain to be motivated at any time, change their mindset to succeed at anything they do, set goals that will allow them to achieve their dreams, motivate themselves and beat procrastination once and for all, de-stress and build relaxation into their schedule and find their passion and take action to succeed while maintaining a balanced and joyful life.
