Do you know you need to build and manage your business systems as early as possible, systems that are visible and documented? True fact. "Umm, hold on a minute," you're saying. I know. I know. Starting is the big hurdle. People get hung up before they even start. I get that. But you must do it. You can do it.


Working with a virtual assistant or other professional to help you with some of the routine tasks in your business is a great decision and can free up your time to focus on your income generating activities. But delegate wisely! Don't delegate what you can automate.


When I think of getting it done, the truth is it's just a lot of small (baby) steps that are on the way to making something happen. To look at a big task all at once is so daunting. We would never get started. So many of us are stuck in the brilliance of our big ideas because we're overwhelmed. Learn how to break through the overwhelm.


Now while "done-ing" certainly isn't a word (yet), it does speak to the difference between working on a project so that you're forever "doing" it and actually getting it "done". As small business owners and entrepreneurs dedicated to making our businesses a success, we need to be focused a lot more on the "done-ing" than the doing.


Now that there is a hint of spring in the air I've been thinking about doing my yearly spring cleaning here at home... and it occurred to me, how about spring cleaning my business?


I was talking to a colleague of mine yesterday who was sharing that she loves her Virtual Assistant, but in her words: “the one thing that she won’t do is nag me to get stuff done… I need someone to nag me like my mom does!” Now this may make you chuckle, but it really is a very common complaint that I hear from business owners…


Staring at your own full Inbox will tell you that managing eMail is probably the one job you spend the most time on every single day. It’s enough to make us all crazy and it was making me crazy until I did something about it.


You turn on your computer, and before your day has even begun, you are feeling overloaded and overwhelmed. You have 50 new messages, plus all the ones you have yet to get to from earlier in the week (and month, and year!). Email, as you know, can be a cause of great convenience and also great stress.


Whether you work out of your home or travel to your business is your work environment conducive to success? What changes do you need to make today to create a motivating work environment?


Believe it or not, having a successful mindset begins first in your head and then manifests into everything you do including the people you interact with - your friends, family, colleagues, business associates, clients and customers.


Here are 6 simple tips to use to make YOUR office/work environment support your success (instead of nagging at you to get more done).


Are you suffering from data overload? Is your email cluttered with unnecessary saved files? Do you have stacks of reference material scattered all over your office? If you said yes, read on and learn how to tame the data overload monster.


As I moved from corporate wage-slave to solo-entrepreneur, re-ordering my entire life was the first big challenge. All the structure and order that my day at the office had provided me was replaced by an ongoing explosion of possibilities. As an emergent solo entrepreneur, I deduced that I had to get out of my own way and find a new source of order or drown in my own clutter.
