10 Minutes a Day to Organize Your Office

No time to organize your office? Follow these daily steps to organize and then maintain your office.

1. On Mondays, de-clutter your office. Remove at least one item which you don't use at least monthly. Take those personal items off your desk. Throw away pens that don't work. Reduce your ketchup/salt/napkin supply by 90%.

2. On Tuesdays, take inventory. Review your supplies and make a list or place an order. Take a few minutes to look through an office supply catalog. You'll find a myriad of useful organizing items.

3. Think on Wednesdays. How can you make better use of your computer? Can you develop a spreadsheet to help organize some aspect of your job? Do you need to find and register for a computer class? Do it today.

I met Rod at a Chamber of Commerce function in 1998. While everyone else took turns introducing themselves to repparttar

other business owners at repparttar 106397

table telling them about their business, Rod was massaging my neck and shoulders. By repparttar 106398

end of

morning I was asking him for his phone number. Now before your mind races too far ahead, let me tell you that Rod owned a business providing Shiatsu massage.

And he didn’t just massage my shoulders – he worked his way around from one person to another during introductions. While we hawked our businesses nervously putting on our best sales pitch, Rod enabled us to FEEL repparttar 106400 value of his service.

What did it cost him? Nothing. Now, we don’t all have repparttar 106401 luxury of being able to let prospects sample our services so easily, but if we’re creative we can help prospects FEEL repparttar 106402 benefit of working with us.

Most of us work so hard developing our sales pitch, creating and refining it numerous times over repparttar 106403 first couple of years as we obtain a sharper focus of exactly what we want to do in our business. But, ultimately, all of this hard work results in repparttar 106404 same type of pitch – “Hi, my name is Kimberly and I’m a Business Coach. I work with business owners to help them increase their sales, profits, and rate of success.”

Okay, that sounds fine. Quick and to repparttar 106405 point. But, what did you really get from it? You know who my target customers are – business owners. You know repparttar 106406 results they will achieve by working with me – increased sales, profits, and rate of success. But, what’s missing? Do you know what it’s going to feel like when your sales increase? Do you know how exhilarating it will be when your business is growing faster? No.

You hear what I say, but it’s still a gamble for you. These days, coaches are everywhere promising all sorts of things from helping you find your spiritual center to helping businesses to deal with repparttar 106407 impact of repparttar 106408 economic downturn on their staff. So how do I enable business owners to FEEL repparttar 106409 benefit of working with me as a Business Coach?

I offer them an opportunity to participate in a free 4-week MiniSeries of my FastTrack MBO (Mastering Business Ownership) Program. I invite them to experience exactly how business coaching and a structured learning program will increase their sales, profits and overall rate of success. This is my offering of a trial or sample. This is how I give them an opportunity to FEEL repparttar 106410 benefit of repparttar 106411 service I offer.
