Improve Productivity by Keeping the Chaos Out
I’m always amazed at how easily we grow accustomed to things. Years ago my husband and I removed an air conditioner from a window. We didn’t have anywhere to put it, so we stowed it under a clear glass table in our living room. Even though it was completely visible we didn’t see it and amazingly, neither did our guests.
I was at the chiropractor the other day, he touched my shoulder and I winced in pain. I hadn’t realized anything hurt until he touched it.
My neighbor had a new roof installed a few weeks ago. All day long the contractors were running generators and banging right outside my office window. I knew it was loud but didn’t realize just how much it bothered me until they shut down the generator and my whole body noticeably relaxed.
In many ways it’s a good thing that we acclimate so easily. I forgot the word my chiropractor used to describe what was going on but the way he described it was that, being constantly aware of every single sensation we feel, see or hear would overwhelm us. All of the sensations we would have to process would make it completely impossible for us to do or think about anything else.
It’s wonderful that our brains are great at compartmentalizing like this but these stimuli have an effect on the way you function and how you run your business and life.
In your daily business you are exposed to tons of input. There’s the constant barrage of email, phones ringing and things that “must get done.” Then there are the ideas that you’ve already started working on and want to follow up on or finish. Of course there are also ideas that have come across your desk which look interesting or promising. Read more
It’s Time To Dust Off Your Dream
Over the past few months I’ve been sensing a growing frustration. I’m being told “I’m on the verge of success if only I could figure out…”
- What to do first (and of course second and third) so the projects I start get completed.
- Which marketing and sales strategies will best generate a consistent flow of clients and income.
- How to get myself to create a plan and actually do those marketing and sales strategies.
- How to manage all of the moving parts and maintain my sanity.
- How to get out of my own way, stop procrastinating and just do it.
You have probably realized that a successful business is not just your awesome service. You need some specific business skills to make sure that people know about your service and buy it. This is done through marketing, messaging, communication and yes…sales.
However, I’ve noticed that most entrepreneurs forget to recognize the most important piece to having a successful and profitable business. Themselves…
You are your business and your business is a reflection of you.
As an entrepreneur you are responsible for all of the decisions, for making sure everything gets done, for setting your business and personal goals, and making sure that the steps you need to take get done. For setting your priorities, managing your time, setting up systems and (here are the biggies) to get and stay focused, stop procrastinating and do it already!
Being your own boss is not easy. While it’s great to be your own boss I often think it would be easier to just have a job. But then you’ll be working to achieve someone else’s dream and not yours.
I have created a program for you that is designed to give you the solutions you need to make 2012 the year you take responsibility for your dreams.
The program is called Chaos to Cash Mastery and gives you one-on-one, as well as group, interaction directly with me.
Together we’ll hone your business skills so that you can market and sell your products, programs and services in a way that works for you and the people you want to be working with.
On top of the business skills we’ll work on you. How to help yourself stop procrastinating. How to set your priorities and make decisions so that things get done. And most importantly, how to follow through.
Something you should know…
This program is not free; it’s not a magic bullet nor is it a quick fix.
Chaos to Cash Mastery is for business owners who are ready to roll up their sleeves, stop making excuses and get to work. Your effort combined with the necessary business skills, personal skills AND the individualized support you will get will enable you to turn your dreams into the business you want with the income you deserve.
Before you head over to www.ChaosToCashMastery.com let me say just one more thing…
You might be someone who looks at the information and says…yes, this is for me. If that’s you I encourage you to go ahead and sign up now.
If you’re more like me, and want to have a conversation about the program and how it would fit into your life and your business, then click here to sign up for a conversation with me. I want to make sure to answer all of your questions so that you can make an informed decision.
Here’s to making 2012 the year that your dreams become reality!

Time To Take A Breather?
I hate to break it to you, but you’re not unique. We all have tons of ideas. In fact, many of your ideas can change the course of your business and bring you the success you crave. The problem is two-fold. First, with so many fabulous ideas you often find yourself overwhelmed, not knowing which path is the “right” path to follow and second, when you decide which path to follow actually following it.
Chaos to Cash Strategy:
Having an idea is great, but it’s action that turns your idea into reality.
Here’s the deal: Unless you act on your idea, it just sits there doing nothing.
You are better off taking many small steps over time than waiting for the day that you’ll have the time to get it all done.
Take a step – any step – and start building momentum.

It’s frustrating, isn’t it?
One of the most frustrating things I experience is when I have a bunch of great ideas but can’t decide which to do. When this happens, I watch time pass by while none of my “great ideas” come to life all because I never picked one to do.
Chaos to Cash Strategy:
Profitability comes when you take your idea, make a plan and follow through.
Unless you are following through on your idea, your projects don’t get completed, your programs don’t get filled and the clients, that need to be working with you, won’t find you.
You’re better off moving forward on the wrong project than on none at all.

3 Big Struggles…Revealed
It’s sad but true. Entrepreneurs run around struggling to master three things to have the business, revenues and clients they desire.
1. Perfecting their sales strategy.
2. Developing and executing the perfect marketing plan.
3. Filling their pipeline so that clients are ready to work with them on a consistent basis eliminating huge month to month swings in income.
It is absolutely true that you need sales and marketing along with a full pipeline, but this isn’t the core issue. The real problem is the chaos you feel as you move through your day trying desperately to manage all of those moving parts.
What to do first? What’s the best way to increase revenue? How are you going to get all of these things done? What’s the fastest way to bring in clients? What will you actually be able to finish? What’s going to give you peace of mind? How to get yourself focused and moving? How to do all of this and manage the business you already have?

It’s time to stop sitting on it
My coach says that indecision is a form of self abuse. When it comes to your business, indecision can also lead to an empty bank account. How many decisions are lying around your desk or swirling around your brain? If you don’t decide YES or NO the decision stays in limbo and you’re left unsure of your next steps or doing the wrong things.
Chaos to Cash Strategy:
It’s time to decide!
How long have you been saying, “I’ll make that decision later”?
Where has it gotten you?

I’m notorious for skipping this step
Do you do this too? You put in the work. You have a success. You cross something big (or small) off your list. You make the call you’ve wanted to make. You finish a project. You launch a program. You enroll a client. Then the next thing you do is see what’s next. What else do you have to do? What else has been sitting around for what seems like forever waiting to be done? Or maybe you think…great one client, I NEED five more.
Chaos to Cash Strategy:
Our tendency is to look at what there is left to do instead of what we have done.
When you finish a task, no matter how big or how small, take a moment to celebrate.
Recognize yourself and the work that you have put in to accomplish it.

Confession time
Confession time: I had a deadline in place to have this message written, but I found myself down to the wire writing it at the last minute. Why? Because I never made the time to sit down to write it.
Chaos to Cash Strategy:
Deadlines are great when you have projects to do, but the most important part is to schedule time to do the project.
Otherwise, you’ll either run around like crazy just before it’s due, or you’ll miss the deadline altogether.

Don’t you have enough to do already?
Have you ever met an entrepreneur with nothing to do? Me neither! In fact, if you’re like every business owner I’ve ever met you have an overflowing list. What’s more is on top of that list of new ideas, new requests come at you all the time. Here’s the scoop…you can’t nor should you do it all.
Chaos to Cash Strategy:
Take control of your to-do list. Before you add anything to the list, ask yourself, “What’s the worst thing that could happen if this doesn’t ever get done?”

Whose priority is it anyway?
I experience it all the time and I bet you do, too. You’ve got a very clear plan for your day. You sit down and get started and then the phone rings, or you “do email” and before you know it your plan and your day are gone. You’ve been going full force all day but didn’t get any of your priorities — the things that will take your business to the next level — done.
Chaos to Cash Strategy:
When going through mail, messages and emails, consider: Did you ask for this information, or is it something another person is pushing on you?
In other words, whose priority is it?
Yours or theirs?
