4 Time Management Tips

We are all busy every day... It is imperative to use your time well ~ so we can spend that extra time for our family and friends.

1. Make a "to-do" list every night before you go to bed. If you write it down, your mind will relax and you don't have to worry about forgetting!

2. Go through your emails in the morning. Delete the ones you do not need,

and respond to the ones you do need.

3. Prioritize. Get the important things done first. If you need quiet time for your calls,

be sure to make them when the kids are at school. Save the laundry

and other household duties for later in the afternoon.

4. Delegate. We all want to do everything ourselves. However, this is not productive, and it will wear you down. Focus on the big picture, and decide which items you can pass on to someone else.

If we get our work done, we will have more time to play!

Women in Direct Sales ~ 5 Books to Have

As you know, I just returned from a Leadership Conference in Newport Beach for Bamboopink. We learned from so many fantastic speakers about women in business for themselves. I love this quote, "If you wait for everything to be perfect, you will miss the perfect opportunity." So many creative women pass up great opportunities because they are not confident enough to take that "leap of faith". Sometimes, you have to just go for it! I really enjoyed listening to Carolyn Zainer, an interior designer by trade, as well as a fellow consultant for Bamboopink. Confident and enthusiastic are two adjectives that come to mind when I think of Carolyn ~ she and I hit it off immediately. Her wealth of knowledge in direct sales inspired me, and she also shared some wonderful books to learn even more. I ordered these for myself today.
