Free Business Cards
Free business cards make an excellent statement as an advertising medium for your small business. Almost all business owners, whether the business is large or small, makes use of business cards constantly. If your business has a client base, or would like to have a client base, you can use business cards to distribute to anyone you meet who might be a potential client. You can use business cards to remind your existing clients of your name, business and contact information. You can also use business cards to post in places where people gather or typically look for information. For example, if you are a fa

More than a few dozen times, people say to me, 'I don't know how you fit it all in!' Sometimes even "I" don't know how I fit it all in, to be honest. However, not only did I realize early that if I wanted to accomplish the things in my life 'to do' list, I'd better take control of my time. I have learned that time management is a huge issue with many of my clients. So, to help with this common problem, below are some tips to at least get you started on how to make the most out of your limited resource: Time.

Prioritize
What do you want to accomplish? Many people I work with have a HUGE list of what they want to do or of opportunities coming their way. It becomes so overwhelming for them that they find themselves doing NOTHING! Now, that defeats the purpose of having such great opportunities at their feet, huh? So, make a list of all the things you would like to do or accomplish, or all the opportunities coming your way, and then prioritize them. For example, which of all the things you listed above is the very most important to you to make happen? Then that would be Number 1. Continue this until you have come to the last one. The last item on your list should be what you could put off until last.

Make a list
I could not function through each day without my daily list! Not having my list is like walking into a Williams-Sonoma store without a shopping list. I guess it would be what walking into a toy store would be like for a kid. I don’t know where to start, there are so many wonderful things to see and do! So, usually the night before, I will write down the tasks that need attending to the next day. Generally my list is related to what I have on my marketing calendar, which helps me organize my entire month. Sometimes, I will create a weekly list, and then break it down from there. Determine what works best for you and put your list together. If you're not used to writing down lists, just start with writing down a few important things. Maybe you want to make some phone calls tomorrow; write that down. Perhaps you’ve been meaning to write an article; write it down.

Map it out
Having many things to do in the course of your day can also lead to getting nothing done. We've all been there; we have this small project to complete, another to start, we have to be done with either by noon to pick up the kids, then of course there is bed and relaxation time. But soon things aren’t getting done. Or, we want to start a new project (like start our own business!) and we have no CLUE how we'll fit that in!

Here is a tip that I learned long ago to help: Print up a schedule that breaks down the day, by the hour, for a whole week. First shade out the time you sleep, then the time you spend on self-care to get ready for the day and for bed. Then shade out family time; this includes meals, watching movies, helping with homework, etc. If you work, shade that time out, including commuting time. Also include self care for just you, such as exercise or relaxation time. Then look at the time you have left. You may be amazed at what you find! One client realized that a HUGE chunk of her time was taken by her part-time job that included a long commute time, which prompted her to consider how she can change that.

Loyalty And Rewards Card Programs Will Keep Your Clients Coming Back
Most small business owners don't realize that bringing a new client in the doors can cost up to twenty times what it does to keep an existing client coming back. Small businesses spend freely on yellow pages, radio, television, mailers, and other advertising. While these ways of promoting ones business can be successful in bringing new clients in, they in no way help a business keep clients. Once that new customer comes through the door and makes a purchase the business needs to find a way to keep that person coming back. If they don't they will have to repeat their advertising cycle and continue spending

Best Laid Plans - Unexpected Events - and the Choices we Have
Kevin was ready to get the day started. He only had one scheduled meeting all day, a real rarity. He was looking forward to a day in the office to catch up on calls, emails, filing, etc. As he walked out the door of his home he slipped on some ice and broke his ankle. Kevin’s day just landed in a totally different direction than what he originally intended.Julie woke up all set to get the week started. She was excited because she was ready to dig in and be a productivity maven. She had put a task list together and she was geared up to tackle it. Just as she knocked one item off the list and felt

Restaurant Management In Focus
Restaurant management has many areas of concern especially if it’s a newly opened establishment being run by a novice restaurant manager/owner. There can be a lot of challenges to face, realizations to know and bills to pay but any person whose passion to be successful in restaurant management will get to their goals later on. Of course there will be shortcomings and endless issues with partners, food providers, employees and customers but a serious restaurant owner has to handle all these to get to a more stable business.Another fact about restaurant management is that the trends of handling and rende

Business Consultants - Why Don't People Listen?
So many business consultants often say that they are tired of being right all the time and wish that their clients or business associates would listen. They get upset and admit that millions of dollars were wasted because they just did not listen. One top-notched consultant from PA mentioned this to me not long ago. Indeed, as a semi-retired consultant, I must agree with her.I also caution myself and others not to always blame the client, even though it is their fault for not listening. I remind myself that I am the mentor or consultant here, my duty was to convince the client or boss of the need for a

Clean up
Is your work space clean and organized or cluttered and out of control? How is your filing system? Did you know that when your work area is cluttered and feeling out of control that YOU feel cluttered and out of control? So, look around and decide where you stand in this area. We've just added something NEW to add to your priority list, however! But the good news is you've also just investigated where you have time to work on projects! So, add this to your priority list and then schedule it into your calendar. However, because this can be overwhelming, pick a specific area you want to work on. Let's say you live in piles. On your priority list, break down that 'big' item of 'clean office' into small projects. For example, put 'clean up one pile' if you have piles of papers. If you want to organize your files, pick just one drawer at a time to focus on. If you have allowed two hours to work on this project and you aren't complete at the end of two hours, just pick up on the day you have again allotted time to work on that project!

These are just a few of the simplest ways to help you organize your time. I often use these as beginning steps for clients and they find they help in more ways than they ever imagined! From there, anything is possible! Now you can set up your goals for your life or business and actually get them done! Ok, now, time to stop reading and start getting organized.
