Time is one of those finite resources that we try to capture. However, when we really think about it we realize that time is like the sand slipping through the hour glass. We cannot capture it – we can only make sure we make the most of it. Whether we use the hours in our day to move our business forward, or create action to accomplish items on our bucket list, or connect with friends on Facebook, or research the latest news for Dancing with the Stars once the day is over – it’s over.
I truly believe that we all want to leave a legacy that lasts and one that truly matters.
When I started working with Kayla I knew that deep down she wanted to use her time in a way that truly mattered. She knew she had the power and influence to take her time and really make a difference in her life, but she didn’t know how to get started.
“When I began working with Lisa of SystemSavvy Consulting I was at a very desperate point in my life. I was completely unorganized, unmotivated, and struggling to keep my direct sales business going while working a regular job that I didn’t love.”
Can you relate to Kayla? So many of my clients feel trapped. Maybe they don’t love their full time job. Maybe they have so many great ideas – and they just don’t know where to start. Maybe they know they are just destined for MORE!
When anyone faces that type of desperation they can become paralyzed, lose momentum, and feel overwhelmed. No one should have to face this discouragement and desperation alone!
I’m so glad that Kayla decided to step up and invest in herself and in her business:
“I first heard about Lisa through one of the women in my direct sales unit. I decided to approach Lisa on a whim and after our first initial call before I had even signed up I felt as though I was already fixing the issues at hand. One of the biggest projects that we overcame together was overcoming the overwhelming feelings I was having, tackling projects, time management, organization, follow through, and my “life plan.”
My greatest joy comes from helping clients such as Kayla gain clarity and direction from the very beginning of our partnership. I do a “happy dance” around my office when clients reclaim their time and achieve the freedom that they’re looking for!
What truly matters? Being able to answer this question is key!
I believe that my clients achieve more for themselves personally, for their families, and for their communities when they have a values based and results oriented time management plan in place. While many coaches claim to offer guidance – I provide a mix of tried and true methods and individualized solutions that give each of my clients immediate results.
My greatest satisfaction comes when our clients give us feedback like Kayla did after she got started with SystemSavvy Consulting:
“I started seeing progress in myself within the first two weeks of working with Lisa. I was feeling more confident in the projects I was trying to accomplish and I was seeing changes in my day to day thoughts and activities. Every phone call with Lisa reassured me that I was making progress and moving in the right direction.”
What could be more fulfilling than assisting clients in regaining the control over their time and their lives? Don’t we all deserve this?
When I sit down with a client and empower them to take control of their time, their career, and ultimately their own happiness, I know that we’ve reclaimed influence over that ever elusive resource – time. Through building awareness, we are able to identify critical areas for improvement:
“Working with Lisa was such a blessing. Not only did she help me to learn where I get “caught” when trying to do a project, but she helped me to rediscover my ability to finish projects and how to take a step back and look at the bigger picture in manageable steps. Lisa was a fantastic cheerleader when I needed her to be and also a butt kicker when I needed a more set guideline. That’s why she is so fantastic; she is exactly what you need her to be based on your situation. She is the perfect coach!”
It is with great pride that I receive these types of notes from my clients. (In fact – I hesitated to create this post – as I didn’t want to seem as if I’m bragging.) However, a friend shared this wisdom with me. “When you’re floundering you need a coach – and you can’t assist those in need unless they know where you are and what you do! Share it!!!”
It doesn’t matter how strong you are, or what you’ve accomplished in the past, investing in yourself has always been and will always be the greatest investment you can make! Sometimes, we each need a little support! Take it from Kayla:
“I would highly recommend working with Lisa to anyone who is really feeling stuck. She is an excellent resource to help you get out of your rut and help you identify what your hang-up is and how to fix it.” -Kayla

Time management is key to running a successful business, but there’s nothing worse than doing what you hate that eats up at your time. I’m a fan of outsourcing unwanted tasks, while sticking to my genius work and passion as much as possible.
Great post.

Thanks for stopping by, Dorit! I agree . . . spending time doing what you love is so energizing! One of the criteria I use when delegating is my resentment factor. How grumpy will I be if I do this?
Lisa
Time management is so hard to master. The pomodoro technique is my favourite time management tool.
Carol
I appreciate your comment. I am also a fan!
Lisa
It’s so inspiring to see your client’s journey and how much you were able to transform her.
Elspeth –
Thanks for stopping by! I was fortunate to partner with her on her journey as she transformed herself! Somehow – the most fabulous, dedicated, and committed people find me!
Lisa
Hi There! I really like this post, love how you break it up with headings, lots of good information. I would prefer to see it either in 2 posts, as it is a lot of material or shorten this material. Great info! Cheers!
Lisa
I appreciate the feedback! It did tend to get a little lengthy . . . but so much great stuff to share!!!
Lisa
These are some great testimonials for you to receive. You’re obviously extremely talented at what you do.
I really like your idea of: How grumpy will I be if I do this :D
Caroline
Thanks for the compliment and the comment. Working with motivated clients such as Kayla is why I love my job so much! They make it easy for me to share my brilliance, sit back, and watch the progress!!! yep – the “grumpy bar” is a big bar for me when figuring things out!
Lisa
PS. I forgot to say that I really like your Blog image of the clock. Very clever..
Ahhh . . . Caroline . . . coming from you – that is high praise indeed. Thanks!!!!
I think so many of us struggle with time management! Nowadays, there are so many ways to get pulled away from your original task at hand – I KNOW you provide a ton of value to your clients!
Thanks for the compliment, Julie! Distractions (whether internal or external) are such a HUGE time waster for the motivated adult! I’m glad I can share some strategies with my clients!
Lisa
I think you did the right thing Lisa by writing this post! And I’d definitely won’t consider it bragging, there’s so much to learn from it! Thanks for sharing :)
Thanks Delia
I appreciate your support . . . I’m always wary of crossing that fine line . . .
Lisa
I really don’t mind working, but I am trying to do my best to avoid what I really hate to do… Delegate is probably one of the best ways, but sometimes is so hard to find someone you completely trust…
Hi Clara
Thanks for the comment! Letting go can be tough. Try starting small . . . one task, one person . . . then go from there.
Lisa
Hello Lisa! I love your tips and great content. I bet those who work directly with you can benefit of your knowledge.
