Are you an information hoarder?

Have you seen the show Hoarders, Buried Alive? Many people are entranced by it. It’s reminds me of when you drive down the road and pass an accident… it’s hard to turn away. I’ve heard people say that they are amazed at how “those people” live. Can’t “they” understand the difference between what’s junk and what’s not? How can “they” save all that stuff? What were “they” thinking as they accumulated all of it? Did “they” really think they would use it? How can “they” live that way? Don’t “they” know when enough’s enough?

Are You Ready To Graduate and Take The Next Step In Your Business and Life?

My sons, Eric and Josh, graduated from middle school last week. I had a conversation with them about moving onto high school. I expected to hear "I'm looking forward to high school," "I'm nervous" and "I hope there isn't that much more homework" but, after all of the complaints I heard this past year, I was surprised that what came out of their mouths was "I'm going to miss South Orange Middle School," and "I really like my teachers."r

Getting Organized: How to Put Things Away and Find them Again!

If you are like many people with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD or ADD) you find getting organized a constant struggle. You push yourself to spend time and energy âcleaning upâ, then, within days or hours, it looks like nothing was done and worse it is impossible to find anything. You are right back where you started from. nnHow do you put something away so that you are able to find it again? How do you put something away so that when you take it out to us

Business Systems: Don’t Over-Complicate Things

Are you over complicating things? I was at our local Whole Foods Market® for a networking meeting. I drank a cup of tea (I’m not a coffee drinker) as a small group of us talked about our businesses and exchanged ideas. After the meeting we said our goodbyes, I grabbed my empty cup and went to toss my trash. That’s when things got confusing. Was my empty cup plastic since it had a plastic lid on it? I wondered if it was compostable because of the tea bag? Was it co-mingled? All I could think of is that this “should” be so easy and it was so difficult.

Your Own Personal Best

I was on the treadmill, one mile into my two-mile run. Once I finished, I would get on a bike and ride for ten miles, then back to the treadmill for another two miles. Running doesn't come easy to me. Frankly, neither does biking. I signed up for the duathlon at my gym as a challenge. I needed a goal and the accountability to get me back on the track.

Sales Calls: 5 Rules to Making Them and Getting Call Backs

You know you have to do them. You know that they are the foundation to a profitable business. You don’t have a choice…the dreaded sales call. You may have lists of names of people to follow up with. People you’ve met at networking events. Someone that somebody else suggested you get in touch with, heck even former customers. How do you get yourself to pick up the phone? What do you say? How do you get someone to call you back?

3 Things To Catapult Your Business to Success

Nobody Can Fulfill Your Dream Other Than You

Have you ever said? • I don't have time to do it right now. • I'm already overwhelmed; I can't add anything else to my plate. • There aren't enough hours in a day. • One of these days... • Maybe tomorrow... These are the words of your dreams waiting to be followed. Not pretty, huh? What happens is that despite your intention to follow your dreams and create the life and business you want, you get sucked into the day-to-day and end up putting your dreams on hold "until tomorrow".

How a Mistake Can Grow Your Business

I read an article the other day about a teapot that J. C. Penny is selling. Apparently someone thought it looked like Hitler. J. C. Penny dealt with the matter immediately. They apologized and said that any resemblance is completely unintentional. The article went on to discuss other marketing mistakes. ChapStick apparently posted a picture on social media that showed a woman’s backside as she searched behind a couch for her ChapStick. When the public reacted negatively they simply deleted the comments… they apologized days later.

7 Ways to Manage Entrepreneurship

Whew...I just made a list of the categories of things we must handle regularly as business owners. Before I started to list them, I was thinking that it would fall into four or five categories. The list grew. I came up with ten areas that entrepreneurs must work on regularly. I've listed them here in the order that they came to mind. I think I just figured out why we are so busy! 1. Unexpected client issues or requests; 2. Manage and answer email; 3. Marketing your business, i.e.: promotion;r

3 Things to Lookout for To Enhance Your Productivity, Improve Your Business and Profits

I've seen it happen again and again. You wake up in the morning ready to go. You've already decided, "Today's the day." It might be the day that you're going to clear off your to-do list. Maybe you'll spend the day making sales calls. Or maybe it's the day that you're finally going to tackle the new program that you're creating. Whatever it is... "Today's the day." Then...the day is over. You've been busy all day. You have not accomplished what you set out to do. You've been here before; unfortunately it's familiar territory. "Oh well," you think, "I guess I'll do it tomorrow."

Managing Your Email Inbox

When I sat down at my computer I was instantly overwhelmed. I opened my email and it was overflowing. I knew there were messages in there that needed my attention. There were emails from current clients, prospective clients, and colleagues looking for information. There were opportunities that I needed to decide whether or not to take advantage of. And that was only some of it. I had a choice. I could either, shut my email and let it wait until later (very tempting!), OR I could set my timer for thirty-seven minutes. I set my timer and here's what I did.

Staying Motivated As A Solopreneur

I was speaking to a colleague who, like me, is a coach who works with other business owners. We hadn't spoken for about a year. I was happy to catch up with her. When I asked her what was going on, she told me that she was looking for a job in the corporate world. She missed the predictability of a job. She was tired of making decisions and she missed the regular paycheck.

Don't Skip This One Thing To Grow Your Business

Life as a solopreneur…in many ways the work is the easy part. You know what you’re supposed to be doing. You say that you’re working and your community understands why you’re not available. In fact there’s a certain level of “I’m doing the right thing” when you head to work. However…one of the biggest problems I see with my clients is that amidst all of the work, what is left out of the equation is themselves.

Whew! I Made It!

We did it! It’s finally springtime, my favorite time of year! Here in New Jersey we experience very distinct seasons and during the winter everything dies, or at least it looks like it does. Then spring comes and the earth magically comes back to life. The snow melts, the branches of the trees start getting fat, buds appear and the first flowers begin to break through. It’s time to wake up. Many people use January 1st, the beginning of the calendar year, as a date to spur them into action but I find spring is when my brain really kicks into gear.

The Key to Business Success: Be True to Your Message

I couldn’t believe it. It must have been a set up. A really bad joke and I was the victim. I was facing down a freight train and I was losing. I was being humiliated. Worse still… it was a public humiliation and there was absolutely nothing I could do to stop it. It started innocently enough, even positively. I was asked to be on a panel and share a little about my experience rebranding my business and getting clear on my message. There were two of us. I went first. I shared a little about my experience. I thought I spoke well then passed the mic.

Keeping Your Business Growing While On Vacation or On a Business Trip

It’s officially summertime and vacation season. Business owners often have a tough time traveling on two fronts. First, there is often a sense that they are responsible for so many things that there is no way that they can truly shut down. Then there’s the other side of the coin… the sense of overwhelm and overload when they get back. Sometimes you may be left wondering if your time away was even worth it. By the way, this is not just a summertime or vacation problem, many business owners experience exactly the same issues when they travel for business.

Decision Making in Your Business: What I Learned from Sorority Rush

My daughter, Sammi, goes to Lehigh University (my alma mater) and just pledged a sorority. Sorority recruitment (or rush) at college is a pretty intense experience. Sammi referred to it as a solid week for "girl flirting". At Lehigh rush happens DURING winter break. The freshmen girls go back early to focus on rush without the pressures of having to study too.

3 Productivity Tools to Improve Your Business's Profitability

Productivity is a multi-billion dollar business so it should be easy to cross things off your to-do list. For the most part the tasks that are on our lists are not difficult, yet it’s as if an invisible force stops you from implementing. We’re full of excuses. Some of the excuses are more “valid” than others. No matter what the excuse is however, at the end of the day you look at your to-do list and wonder what the heck you did all day because you certainly didn’t do anything you were supposed to be doing.

5 Keys to Self Care for Entrepreneurs

When something comes up four times over the course of two days I know it's serious. Entrepreneurs are lousy at taking care of themselves. * Entrepreneurs routinely work long hours. * Entrepreneurs often beat themselves up for not doing enough or not doing it well enough. * Entrepreneurs have a misguided belief that they are the only person who could possibly do "it" right. * Entrepreneurs feel guilty spending time relaxing when there's so much work to do. * Entrepreneurs spend their day worrying about what they missed or what they "should have" done.

Habits Are EASY To Break... At Least The Good Ones

When people talk about productivity they often talk about routines or habits. “Professionals” tell us that it takes 21-repetitions of an action to form a habit. This means that after twenty-one repetitions of an activity, it will be engrained into your mind and body so that you do it automatically. Here’s what I wonder, once you have a habit in place, why are good habits so easy to break and bad habits so hard to break?

5-Keys to Successful Goal Setting

Wouldn’t it be great if we could do it all? Imagine never having to think about having the time or resources necessary to do a project because you had all the time and resources in the world. Wishful thinking huh? The truth is that you don’t have infinite access to time or resources. There are things that you might like to do that will be left undone. To make sure that what you value the most gets done it’s important not only to set clear goals but to strategically pick the goals that you want to accomplish and create a plan to accomplish them.

How Much Should I Charge?

The theme of last week’s conversations with my clients was…pricing. I was asked, how much should I charge? What do I do with my clients in low level programs; I know they need more, what do I do? I’m new to this, I don’t have enough experience to charge that much. And then the biggest question, how can I possibly charge “that”? I know my service is worth it, but I don’t think I can say that without throwing up.

Want to Know Your Value? Listen to What People Say

With all of the "100 days of gratitude" posts I see on Facebook I have to think that many people believe it feels good to acknowledge when things go well. To say thank you when people help you or are nice to you. To express when you feel appreciative of something. So I have to wonder, why is it that when someone says "Thank you," they often get shut down? Think about it. What do you do when someone says thank you to you? Do you say, "Don't worry about it." "It was nothing." "No need to thank me, it was nothing." Or maybe "No problem."

7 Strategies to Optimize Productivity and Revenue

The weather here in NJ has been pretty stormy lately. A couple of hours ago, it was dark outside. Thunder was rumbling. Everything seemed to be in place for a terrific downpour but the storm didn't come, at least not then. All we got were a couple of raindrops that quickly disappeared. Hours later it happened again. The dark sky, the thunder and then, yes, the rain. Lots and lots of rain.

Commitments: Making and achieving your business and life goals

At the beginning of February I committed to a new challenge at my gym... to run (or walk) a total of 144 miles over three months. It amounts to 12 miles a week. It was a big commitment for me. I already spend about four hours a week at the gym in classes that I don't want to give up. To add the additional running, it means another three hours a week.

10 Keys to Saying Yes to the Right Projects

This is a special request article. A client of mine told me that a colleague reached out to him to do a “quick” project. He priced it on the low end, since it was for a friend and it seemed pretty straightforward. She said yes and he set his team off to work. The result…”She’s been a disaster. Poor communication and deadlines we didn’t agree to. My poor team is ready to cry. We’re getting through it, but it sucks.” So what could he have done differently? What would have made this project work for everyone? For his client, for him, and for his team.

Fighting Overwhelm and Procrastination In Your Business

One of the biggest challenges an entrepreneur faces is that there is no road map for what they want to do because it's their dream that they are following. They don't have a boss telling them what projects to work on and no teacher giving them homework assignments, teaching them what they need to do or showing them the steps they need to take. Entrepreneurs need to dig deep into themselves. First to uncover their dream and then the hard part; they need to get motivated, stay motivated every single day and take risks to make it happen.

A client of mine was frustrated. She was talking about the pace of growth in her business. She was telling me that things were shifting, that her message was getting clearer. That she was feeling more confident every day. She also shared with me that her business was still not where she wanted it to be. She did not have as many clients as she wanted. She did not have the reach or audience that she needed. She said to me, "I know it takes time. I know I need to be patient. The problem is that I'm not a patient person."

5 Strategies to Help You Stay Focused and Be Productive

Hunger, noise, temperature, surroundings, energy level and overall health. All of these impact how well you function, your productivity and the quality of your work. It doesn't matter what your business plan or marketing strategy is, the one thing that will make or break your bottom line is your productivity. Because of this I spend as much time with my clients talking about these things as I do about their business. Unless these fundamentals are in place and working FOR you and not against you nothing else you do is going to work.

I was thinking about how much easier his life would be if only he could go to Target for all of his aco needs. I pictured the sale Target would have in order to attract the squirrels and imagined what would happen. All of the little gray squirrels would show up in droves and rush around Target. They would each be pushing big red shopping carts overflowing with aco s. The squirrels would shop until the shelves were empty and they had filled every available nook and cranny in their trees.

Systems For Your Business

My clients tell me of a love/hate relationship with systems. The love part comes because systems make things easier. The results are predictable, you know what you need to do and know where all the things you need to do it are. The hate part comes because there is a belief (which I disagree with) that systems lock you in and don't leave room for creativity. So let me ask you a question...do you really want to be creative with the paperwork, agreements or whatever you use when you bring in a new client in or would you rather just celebrate? Yeah, I thought so.

It All Comes Down to Perspectives

I took a picture out of the hotel window. When I look at it I see about two inches of snow, no big deal. Here’s a little more information. The picture was taken from my hotel in Atlanta, Georgia, the week of January 26th. Atlanta doesn’t see much snow. What to me looks like a dusting of snow, (I mean, you can’t even build a snowman with it) led Georgia to declare a state of emergency. Highways were impassible. There were accidents and abandoned cars everywhere. Schools closed early, and because of the roads, some the kids ended up sleeping at school or on freezing cold school buses.

An Entrepreneur's Guide to Self Care

The last four coaching calls I’ve been on have focused on one topic. Self care. But wait a minute; I’m a business coach so why do I spend time with my clients talking about self-care? Guess what? Unless you take care of yourself you cannot take care of your business. Entrepreneurs tend to put everything and everyone in front of themselves. When they do that, they risk losing it all. Now before you tell me (or yourself) that you don’t have time for self care, take a look at the following seven areas to keep an eye on. None will take you more than a couple of minutes a day.
