Staying Organized - the Key to Success
To organize means to arrange systematically in an orderly structured functional hole. Staying organized is the key to success for any internet marketer or leader. Being unorganized leads to time wastage and we then wonder why we are not getting anything or enough done.
You must first purchase your tools to enable you to be better organized. These tools include desks, filing cabinets, paper organizers, computers and other things you may need for your business to succeed.
Next you will need to dedicate specific areas for specific functions. For example have a file for you finances, another for your marketing materials, and another for your accounts and so on. You may also need to sub categorize for example a file with your financial portfolio divided into different company's that various parts of your portfolio belong to.
When organizing your filing, do what will work best for you to enable you to locate what you need quickly and efficiently, so that you don't waste precious time searching for lost or misplaced documents, or even worse re doing work that you have already done. Have an in and out box for tasks pending and tasks completed. Keep all your receipts in a basket on your desk, and try and make time to keep your books up to date at least once a week, or it could quickly turn into a whole days work.
Once you have your office set up it is time to organize your time more efficiently. You will need a nice big diary for this one. Start by making to do lists and then prioritizing you lists. Decide what things on your list you would like to achieve by month end and then break up the tasks into weekly portions that you can do. Then break up your week further into daily activities that will enable you to reach your goals in small but achievable steps. Be specific about how much time to spend on each task, and spend your time wisely. Make sure that you plan your leisure time in much the same way, or you will find yourself working 24/7.
If you feel overwhelmed, it just means that you aren't organized enough. Make sure that you reserve a couple of minutes daily to plan and organize your life.
All internet marketers will feel overwhelmed at some stage, and especially when they first start up with their chosen business. Just make sure that you stay on top of things, stay organized, plan your day accordingly and you can't go wrong.

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change?

Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute.
