Finally Free to Succeed

There are many organizational books out there. There are the system specific books that address different aspects of your office and home. There are also the overall focused living books that address how to find organization and balance in your life. We shall also not forget all of the terrific documents that Sales Directors have created to help out their sister Directors and Consultants about organizing their offices and businesses, each with something different to offer. However, what I noticed was lacking is a comprehensive guide specifically designed for the Director or Consultant who wants to get out from under the clutter both mentally and physically and have an office that is made for an executive. It is true that we have a home-based business but there is often a difference in both attitude and altitude between a home-based business and a corporation. If you create an executive environment, you will be motivated to run your business like an executive. It is that mentality that will get you to a FREE car, Directorship or even National Sales Director!

My first book, Finally Free to Succeed: A Director’s Step by Step Guide to Organizing Your Business, has been a phenomenal success: so much so that Directors begged me to write a book specifically for Consultants. In this book, I have gathered all the information I could; from systems I have created myself, to several manuals including the aforementioned books, as well as ideas that I have borrowed from other Directors. There are ideas for every aspect of organizing your office that are specific to a Consultant’s business. However, you may find that some of these ideas are easily adaptable to other aspects of your life.

How to use this book

This book is divided into two different sections. The first section is the largest, including; the explanation of the difference between left-brain organized people and right-brained creative people, an outline of the different areas of your office and business that may need addressing, and organizational solutions for each of those areas. The second section is the action part of the book. This is where you will find the quick 10 step exercise for immediate results called 10 Things You Can Do Right Now To Get Organized and the multi-day project called the Seven Step Action Plan. This intensive plan is designed to reflect what I do when a Director or Consultant hires me to completely revamp her office space. You can do this program step by step all at once, or in increments, to completely reorganize your office. This plan is not for the faint of heart, but if you are committed to changing your business, the Seven Step Action Plan is for you.

You can use this book in many ways. While you are reading, I would suggest you have a notebook or a highlighter so you can jot down or highlight things that are interesting to you. You can read the book from cover to cover and devise a plan to get yourself organized. Or you can pick out chapters with which you know you have issues and decide to work on just that. You can skip all of the explanation and get right to the 10 Things You Can Do Right Now To Get Organized or jump directly into the intensive Seven Step Action Plan. But whatever you choose to do, DO SOMETHING! You owe it to yourself to achieve your highest potential. Getting your systems in place is a major step in that process. You will be amazed at how organizing even one part of your office can change your view and clear your mind. The other great thing about it is that organization is contagious! Once you start and complete one project, you will be motivated to begin another. When your office is all done, I bet you will be in the mood to clean out your kid’s rooms, your attic or garage, and your kitchen cupboards!
