I have my own business and I really feel lost a lot of the time. What can I do? I don’t even know…

Keep it simple. Start by making a to do list to organize all the things you already have. Create a simple system that you would be able to remember and organize it. Labels also help. Make a place for everything, and continue to sort paperwork, items, ect, into the perspective places.

Here is a 5-step plan for getting organized and staying that way:

First, identify your main purpose in life. Is it to be successful in your business? To balance home and work life?

2nd-It is very important to set yourself goals to achieve your main purpose, and then to prioritize those goals. What comes 1st? Do the hardest things when you are the freshest. When things come up, ask yourself, “Will this activity help me to achieve my main purpose?”

3rd-Make a list of everything and anything that you want to accomplish at home and your business (all aspects of your life, all the roles you play.)

4th-Now transfer all of those things to a projects list and prioritize those. Zero in on only one project at a time, giving your all to that one project until it’s completed, not worrying about any of the other projects. If you do the hardest first, then when you see the results, it gives you incentive to excitedly move on to the next project. If the project seems too overwhelming, divide it up into bite-sized pieces, concentrating on one small area at a time. (And don’t ever forget loved ones in the busy shuffle of owning a business.)

5th-Plan your work, then work your plan. Scheduling is hard for some because they think that it will control their lives. But really, just the opposite is true. By sticking to a schedule, you have more control over your life…plus, it’s fantastic to see results.
