One of the things I most enjoy about being a Time Strategy Visionary is the talented people I meet along the way. A new friend, Cynthia Trevino is the co-founder of Resonnect, a business development and content strategy company. Cynthia works with business owners to carve out the value in their products, services and books, turn it into educational content, and then help it reach [...]
We've all been there. We set aside 2 hours to work on a BIG, IMPORTANT, AWESOME project, only to realize that there are only 15 minutes left of that 2 hour block. So, we say, "I'll work on that tomorrow, I don't really have time to get into it today." Then tomorrow comes - and "life happens" - and again, you don't have time [...]
What happens when in a busy day your mind is so crammed with all your "to dos" that you feel like you're going to explode? When you try to find where the end of the thread is so you can start doing something, anything? And then when you start something, anything, only to drop it to deal with an emergency? We've all had this [...]
It's the end of October. The leaves turn colors, the temperature drops and ... retailers get the jump on the holiday season. Yes, I know, we all complain about this very early emphasis on Christmas and the other winter holidays, but think about it ... they may not be entirely wrong! No matter what holiday (or none) you celebrate, the mid-winter season is usually [...]
Most business people work every day on multi-step projects. You usually do it all without missing a beat. But what about those days when you're constantly interrupted? In the real world, unless you live in a bubble, when you're distracted it's easy to miss a step. One way to make sure you don’t miss something is to create a checklist. A checklist allows you the [...]
In a recent post, I mentioned that a husband and wife team had recently switched up their schedules to help them focus on their priorities. The wife was having great results as she had decided to focus a chunk of her day to prospecting - and this focus was paying off in new business. Her husband, however, was struggling with his new schedule. He [...]
I hear it so often: "I don't have enough time in the day to get it all done!" Well guess what - it is not possible to “get it all done.” Your life is fluid - you will continue to have new interests, start (and complete) new projects. You have a job, family, volunteer work, and, and, and, and ... You will continue to [...]
I was recently at a networking event, and a colleague mentioned that she and her husband had recently switched their schedules a little. She was really excited about the positive changes that were occurring due to a couple of little tweaks. One of the biggest changes she noticed for herself was that she was generating more leads because she made sure she dedicated time in [...]
Boundaries: Lately a big topic here in this blog, because it's an important issue for any entrepreneur. Amanda recently told us how she succeed in preventing everyone from wanting "a piece of her", I described how Rosie and Ariel learned to honor their own agendas, and my VA Holly offered some tools to set boundaries in your home-based work. Recently I was offered the [...]
Imagine a typical work day. Do you move quickly from activity to activity, task to task, phone call to email to appointment? Or do you have plenty of time to complete each activity before starting the next? Odds are your day tends to look more like the former than the latter.
