I find this to be a continual thorn in my side, although with a little self discipline and a system, it really doesn't have to be. In fact, it is so much easier to just stick with a program for this stuff than it is to look for things, lose things, redo things and spend days [...]

As we’ve had a lot of holidays and periods of illness around here lately, I was finding it hard to keep up. As a result, my customer service was sometimes slower than usual. I found that although there was a good reason for it and I was doing my best, letting an order go a day later [...]

I was doing some paperwork and noticed how much harder it was because some of my invoices were scattered. Why were they scattered? Because I had been doing some work with them and left the basket that I keep the unrecorded invoices in, in another room. So they were not on the table beside my printer. This small thing [...]

I’ve finally decided to take my own advice and get a little help around here! I am keeping applications open for 1 week, so I will be contacting anyone who seems a good fit by next weekend (April 7) and would hope to get started the following Monday.

I really never thought that I would ever find such importance in such a small thing. But it is becoming one of my number one resources. It's a small, unassuming notebook that has taken up residence on my desk.

I came across this concept awhile back and decided that it could be a wonderful business building tool - and a great tool to keep me on track as to how I want my business to be run. Basically, each week you choose a value that you would like to focus on. You can do this [...]

Today is my birthday. I’m 43 whopping years old! I had planned to go to an event to see Marianne Williamson speak on middle age, basically on how it can be a great jumping off time to do big things, not an ending. She is one of my favourite speakers on many topics, so when I saw [...]

I recently had the good fortune to hire a friend to work with me a few days a week, packing orders and doing some of the physical stuff in my natural skin care supplies business. The change, not only in my productivity, but in mind set is amazing. Suddenly, it’s more fun, it’s not just me anymore. More [...]

It’s time to “spring ahead” again, time to set our clocks ahead one hour. For many, this means extra daylight at night, which is always nice. For me and many other mom’s who get some of their best work done in the am before their kids get up and the daily grind begins, it means an opportunity [...]

Ramp It Up. |
DO KAIZEN: Start the day with one task that will make gradual positive change - take you up a notch - make something more efficient, eliminate something, put something to work for you. Do this every day first thing. Put aside the time and say KAIZEN!
"I will prepare, and someday my chance will come." - Abraham Lincoln, 16th President of the United States
