3 Steps to Getting It All Done! Phase 1

Like all of you have, I have had a slammin' past couple of days. Because I have been in front of so many people lately, several times I was asked "how do I do it all?"  And when I made a decision yesterday to NOT send this Marketing Minute, I knew this was what I wanted to share.

It started last Thursday with a presentation on “Your Worth More Than You Think” to the Triangle Chapter of the Window Coverings Associaton of America.

Friday, Monday and Tuesday were spent with design clients and doing the work for those clients.  Tuesday night I was a guest speaker for the Association of Decorating Education, and then Wednesday morning and afternoon I was a panel guest for the NC Triangle East Chapter of the Interior Design Society.  And THEN Wednesday afternoon I hosted the first call of the Designing Your Success Mastermind Program. Whsh! What a busy, busy couple of days!

Because I have been in front of so many people lately, several times I was asked “how do I do it all?”  And when I made a decision yesterday to NOT send this Marketing Minute, I knew this was what I wanted to share.

First, I actually DON’T do it all.  It may SEEM like I do, but I say NO very often in my work and personal life.  And I make this really easy for myself by following these guidelines.

1.  Will the action I am doing right now or the action I am deciding to do next help me achieve my vision? That big dream in the sky for me that I want to achieve – will this action help me get there?  If the answer is YES, it is an action worth doing.  If NO, don’t do it.

2.  Will the action I am doing right now or the action I am deciding to do next help me achieve a specific goal? If I have a goal to have 5 new clients in the next 90 days (which helps me get to my vision!) will this action help get me there? If YES, it is an action worth doing. If NO, don’t do it.

3.  Will this action help complete a project for my business or my clients?  If YES, it is an action worth doing. If NOT, don’t do it.

Look for next week’s newsletter on PHASE II of getting it ALL done!

Have great rest of the week!
