Is Your Disorganisation Destroying Your Health, Your Business and Your Relationships?

Stress is costly in terms of your health, relationships and performance.When you're affected by too much stress your body wears down and you get sick. Highly disorganized people seem to be more susceptible to sickness as they are always under extreme pressure, running from one disaster to another.

What many business owners fail to realize is one of the major reasons they are not getting ahead is they are disorganised! They constantly repeat the same mistakes and do not address the fundamental issues that are the cause of their problems.

Gary has a business, employing 7 staff. When he contacted me he was at a point where the stress from his business was so bad, that he would constantly wake up 3 or 4 times a night worried about everything ...his cash flow, staff, lack of clients and the affect all this was having on his personal well-being and family life.

He didn't use a diary, had no way of planning and kept everything 'in his head.' Often his staff were idle because he hadn't spent time training them. That ensured the work didn't get done therefore causing Gary to lose clients. He was also a perfectionist and felt it was easier to do things himself so they would be done 'right.'

Being overweight didn't help either. Gary was constantly tired and uptight causing him to be moody and also very negative. His family and his staff would avoid him. He was spiralling downhill quickly, but luckily he realized before it was too late, that it was time to get help otherwise he could lose his business, his family and even his life!

Step by step and week by week Gary gradually implemented what he learned through our coaching sessions. He ended up looking and feeling the best he's felt in years. His business is more profitable, his staff are happier and performing much more effectively. His family life has improved so much too.

Gary had contemplated separating from his wife because he was so unhappy when I initially spoke with him. However he eventually realised that he was the problem in his relationship. He was miserable and blaming it on everyone else.
You see being disorganised has a snowball affect on every other area of your life.

Here's what you can to do dramatically decrease the stress in your business and your life. ..

1. Get Organized

Learn how to manage yourself and your time. This includes how to plan and prioritise. You can do it yourself (good luck, because if you knew what to do, then why aren't you doing it?) or you can accelerate your results by getting coached, attending seminars , reading or listening to material to learn how to improve your effectiveness.

2. Exercise Regularly, Exercise daily.

Try swimming, running or walking. Your body needs regular activity. "Use it or lose it." You'll also need to keep your muscles strong so hitting the gym is the obvious choice. Get professional advice before making up your own program. You want to stay in one piece.

3. Eat Healthily

Feed yourself healthy food and drink 6-8 glasses of water a day and you'll triple your output.

4. Learn to Say "No"

Become more discerning about what activities you are prepared to do or participate in. If you're already overloaded, let people know.

5. Delegate or Outsource

Do what you do best and get rid of the rest. This applies to work and home.
