"Helping 10,000 Women LEAP into their Best LIFE!" 

          
May is the perfect month to clear out the old and make room for the new!  One thing I recommend making room for is a necessary system many of us have trouble implementing.  What is that system? -- Scheduling!  I know, I get you all excited about discovering a cool new secret system and it's something you are already well aware of.  But Wait - keep reading :)......You may be aware of the importance of scheduling - but not specifically on how to make it happen. And that is my secret system - I have created a simplistic process on how to consistently have successful scheduling.

Chunk/Block Scheduling:
1. Print out a blank calendar 
2. On a separate sheet of paper, list all of the activities in your personal and business life that are important to you.
Possible Business Activities: prospecting, follow-up, specific activities that are pertinent to your business, meetings, networking events, planning, marketing, coaching....etc.
Possible Personal Activities: family time/activities, personal, exercise, spiritual, personal development, shopping/cooking....etc.
3. Group your activities into chunks. 
4. Schedule your chunks on your calendar. 1/2 hour - 2-hour time blocks
5. Include 1/2 hour flex time after each major activity.
6. In addition to your 1/2 hour flex time in step #5 - Schedule four 1-hour flex times in your week that you can move an uncompleted earlier block of time into one of these flex times - just in case an emergency comes up and you need to reschedule an activity.
7. Schedule 1-hour planning time at the beginning of the week and 1 1/2 hour time for planning and evaluation at the end of the week
8. Make a copy of your calendar.
9. Use a fresh copy for each week and then write the specific activities you want to accomplish within each block of time that is scheduled.
10. Evaluate your week and make any adjustments to your schedule for the next week.  Notice when, where and who you were with when you were distracted and diverted from your planned schedule.  What is this telling you and how can you be more efficient next time.
11. Have FUN!!  

The 3 M's to a Magnificent May.....
1. Be mesmerized by your greatness!

2. Map-out every detail of your best life - and go LIVE it! 
3. Mirror your true needs and beliefs in your communication.

  • Leadership Coaching Tip for May - I LOVE prospecting! - When many professionals prospect in their business they spend much of their time wishing people would respond in a receptive way.  Since we don't have any control over what people will decide to do, this constant wishing takes all of our power away.  It may also leave us feeling desperate and frustrated.   If we instead choose to focus on the specific activity that we know will give us the outcome we are lookng for - we will feel empowered and in control of our outcome.  Having the confidence and awareness that our activity will produce the results we want will leave us in a enthusiastic, joyful, and successful state of mind.
