The Power of Organisation

Published by Amanda under clear limiting beliefs

Sometimes I seem to spend my days going round in circles, knowing all the things I “should” do or I “need” to do to move my life and my business forward, yet none of it gets done.

I have now graduated from a “to-do list” to a “to-do book” which I keep adding more and more stuff to. I then look at it and feel totally overwhelmed.

Then I end up getting frustrated because I have not done anything, so I find myself working on my computer until 2am (besides that all my friends in the USA are happily chatting then) and so I don’t get any sleep and then I wake up tired! And so the cycle goes on!

When I started reviewing all my products and services a couple of weeks ago, I found myself in total overwhelm. I had ideas flowing out of me so fast I could not write them all down. Great excuse for getting nothing done!

Much as I love to tell everyone I am multi-tasking, female superwoman, sometimes it really pays to FOCUS on one thing at a time!

I found that my biggest strength is business is creating products, services and programmes that help people to Clear Limiting Beliefs.

I have had so many testimonials from people who have used them, particularly the Clear Limiting Beliefs audio relaxation, and have told me that something has changed in them.

Something, almost quite magical, that has changed thoughts such as “I can’t do that” or more commonly “Who am I to do something like that?” to “Well, yes I can do that” and ” I deserve the success that could come from that” and “Who can I find to help me?”


Secret Weapon to Organisation.

Two things have helped me hugely in organising my business in the last few days. One has been a large pad of plain white paper and the other has been a pack of coloured pens! And yes, the third one has been switching off all instant messaging services!

I realised there is quite a logical flow to my programmes, from deciding what you want through to clearing the limiting beliefs and taking action to move forward.

It took me a few days to see this progression, but once I did, it became so much easier to decide on the next action steps because it one thing builds on another.

Interestingly this exercise brought up a huge “to-do” list, but I am quickly working my way through it because I can see a point to the tasks on the list.

Drawing out on paper your business, or an aspect of it or a project you are working on is highly recommended. It gives huge clarity and direction.

Have a wonderful day.
With abundant blessings.

Silver Linings

Published by Amanda under dream life

Well, it really has been an interesting couple of months!

I started with a terrific Healthy Chocolate business a couple of months ago and have lost over 17lbs so far! This was in anticipation of the planned UK launch in January.

I had put huge amounts of enthusiasm and effort into promoting the business and had started to attract several new distributors. However, regulatory and compliance issues have meant that my promotional efforts within the UK are now temporarily on hold.

That has brought a great deal of frustration, as you can imagine! Especially as I had decided that Healthy Chocolate was going to be my major focus. It seems, the Universe had other ideas!

What that has done, however, is prompted me to revisit all my other sites and products/services and do a complete audit. I have quite amazed myself at some of the gems of products I have found that were either partly completed or sitting on my computer hard drive and no-one had heard/seen but me.

I have also finally got my shopping cart working properly, so that my customers can now order more than one digital/download product without having to order them all separately.

The software I am using allows me to offer an affiliate programme as well.

This has forced me to look closely at the products, services and resources I already have and to see them with fresh, loving eyes. It really has given me an opportunity to find my own “Acres of Diamonds” right here on my computer.

What was also very interesting to me was how little value I had given to my products. I had often wondered why I had not sold as many of them as I would have liked and I realised that I have given most of them away! The customers who have bought some of my product packages had had hundreds, if not thousands of pounds or dollars worth of valuable information for next to nothing!

I had never had a problem asking for money for other peoples’ products, yet my own I have virtually given away.

I have been able to find a couple of areas within my business which I really love and realised that some of the things I had been hanging onto need to go now.

It was my birthday last week and this has certainly been a week of soul searching and change.

It really is the case that “every cloud has a silver lining”. I have got lots of exciting projects planned now.
With abundant blessings.
