Dear Entrepreneur,
Does any of this sound familiar?
• You’ve recently acquired a new computer. In all your excitement, it didn’t dawn on you that you have over twelve downloaded software upgrades you now have to track down to get your entire system working on your new computer. You also have hundreds of email addresses that now need to be set up properly in your new Microsoft Outlook.
Cost: Not having these tools set up is costing you tons of time and frustration. Getting annoyed is draining your energy. After awhile you realize you’ve spent hours running around in circles getting nothing accomplished.
-----------------------------------------------
• You've lost the battle with clutter. There are stacks of papers all over your office. Bills are getting lost because you don’t have time to file them. You need a warranty card from six months earlier and can’t find it anywhere. New clients and orders are getting lost, which isn't good for the bottom line. The big problem is you don’t have time to slow down and get things cleaned up.
Cost: You’ve spent way too much time looking for missing items, lost financial opportunities, extra banking fees, etc. You may have lost a client or prospect due to lack of organization.
-----------------------------------------------
• There's a dent on your car. Every time you see that dent you feel annoyed. You remember (again) backing out of the shopping center when a hidden pole jumped out and hit your car. You then think to yourself, “I really have to get that dent fixed.” You think through the steps of: get a quote from the body shop, rent a car, and take car in to get fixed. Not to mention what the cost is going to do to your bank account.
Cost: This situation is an energy drain. Energy is seeping out towards an unresolved issue and is costing you by putting you in an annoyed mood. One thing leads to another and you have a pile of emotionally disturbing thoughts trailing through your head.
-----------------------------------------------
• You have a list a mile long of projects you have started and not finished. Of course you have already identified that they are good money makers and deserve your attention. You started in good faith but half way through you realized that you are missing some data, need a website or had to wait on someone else. Six months later these projects are still sitting there, distracting you, calling out to get finished and start making money.
Cost: Incomplete projects drain you, cause you to get distracted and overall become a sense of anxiety. Too much of this gives you a headache or a sick feeling that can only be overcome with a long dose of Oprah and a bucket of ice cream.
-----------------------------------------------
If it does, then I don't want you to feel bad. Instead I want you to get excited. Because I have the solution (and, best yet, it's free!)
But first, who am I and why should you listen to me?
I'm Melanie Benson Strick of Success Connections. I'm known as The Entrepreneur's Success Coach because I help entrepreneurs and small business owners become six and seven figure success stories AND have the time to actually enjoy their freedom.
Although I have many tools in my toolbox, one tool I've found to be very effective is the Clean Sweep.
The Clean Sweep is a way to "sweep" distractions and issues out of your life that are draining your time and energy. You see, what I've discovered is entrepreneurs don't fully realize how much clutter, unfinished projects and other energy drains cost them. It wastes their time, energy and can even cost them business!
But when these entrepreneurs actually take the time to do a Clean Sweep, the results can be absolutely incredible! I’ve seen my clients double their income, accomplish a big goal like completing their website, or even land that “power client” just by eliminating things that they are putting up with. |
