List everything you need and want to accomplish in a given week, month and year. Then list the necessary steps that have to be taken in order to acheive each of them. Finally, enter each step on your calendar as though it were a scheduleded appointment that cannot be cancelled. Now set it all in motion and reap the rewards of attaining your goals.

With the New Year here, start fresh and de-clutter. Get organized and reap the benefits of a properly structured office. You will feel better physically as well as having a new found sense of freedom from tackling matters you’ve been proscrastinating about rectifying. Happy New Year to you all. May 2010 bring health, peace, love, happiness, and prosperity!

A great way to begin is to contact people you know by sending them a quick email with a link to your website including a brief description of your business. Don’t be afraid or too proud to ask your family, friends, co-workers, or business associates for referrals. Everyone knows people that you don’t and you never know who might be in need of just what you have to offer.

Many businesses could benefit by using a 31 day pending system in their filing cabinet. It’s an old fashioned but simple and accurate way of following up on pending matters. Should you have your follow-up system computerized that’s great too! Regardless of the method you are using, just keep on top of it or it will quickly become overwhelming.

Scan your desk and go through your mail quickly separating what needs to be handled immediately from work that can be delegated to others and taken care of later in the week.  Then get busy.
