Finding Me

The older you get, the more you have going on in your life. I thought life was supposed to slow down? Years ago I took pride in my organization skills. When I worked in the corporate world my daily calendar was always full, but I always managed to check off what I wanted to accomplish for the day. I had a PDA that I carried around like a life line. Today, I still make those lists, and instead of the PDA I have a small calendar in my purse. But I keep pushing many of those tasks that I want to accomplish to the next day and then the next. Why is that? And everytime I find something new I want to learn to help my business it goes in a labeled folder (which at the time I think this is genius). But soon I have so many folders and so many stacks of notes that I become overwhelmed. My To Do list becomes longer because I can't finish each days To Do list.

My son took this picture a few years back and I have always found humor in it even though it looks like they just had bad news. The humor is this, they have so much to do that they don't know where to go or what to do. The first white haired lady in the blue sweater is trying to remember if she mailed that birthday card to her grandson. The gray haired lady leaning forward just realized she forgot to pick up her grandson and the lady next to her is wondering when will she ever remember where her grandson lives. Is is old age, or is it not being organized?





I just want to get off this merry-go-round and maybe start over. But where? I recently found a report by Axel Meierhoefer that discusses the value of being organized. You can get the report yourself at http://1sandib.pohmii.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=Axel76gl
In this report I found out what type of organizer I currently am and what I can do to be better organized. If you are having trouble organizing your life check out this FREE report. It helped me recognize what type of an organizer I am and how I can improve my organization skills.

Back to Business


Ok, well the reason I haven't been posting on this blog is because I have been out of touch with the internet for 6 weeks and then I was overwhelmed with emails when I returned. Hopefully, all is well now and I can get back to the business of promoting my business and have some fun doing just that!

Just before I left town for 6 weeks, I started venturing into the world of social media (Facebook) as an additional way to promote my business. Wow! If you are not participating in this incredible way of marketing yourself then you need to start NOW! My website's traffic increased 244% in one month! Call me crazy for doing this and then leaving town though, because my email was through the roof!

So one of the fun things about Facebook is you can start a group about just anything. My first group is called "Pearls of Wisdom". I really tried to come up with a group name that also hinted at who I am - WhatEver Accessories. I'm at almost 400 members and growing daily. This group was designed for just women, but you can have many groups in many niches. What a great way to network! If you want to work with me and grow your own groups, join Facebook, ask me to be your friend and join one of my groups. Let Social Media help grow your business!

I look forward to hearing from you,

Sandi
