So I was thinking about how often we let silly things ruin our
day/week. I for one, have been guilt on MANY occassions! My
sil used to treat me like dirt and even though I had every right to be
mad, I spent w-a-y too much time worrying about it when I could have
been doing other stuff.
So I think the same applies to our business.
Soooo, instead of spending 30 minutes (or more!) worrying about who
said what to who, and who signed up under who, and who is offering
what, etc...lets see if we can get some good ideas going of ways we
could spend that 30 minutes doing something positive</span> for our businesses!
I will start with a few ideas...see what you can come up with to finish this sentence too!
You could use 30 minutes to....
listen to a training call (Lifeline or TNT)</span>

okay, well I've posted 5 "you could's" So I am passing the torch now...lets see what the rest of ya' can come up with!
BTW--since I was thinking about all this, I found that thinking about
it in 30 minute chunks of time has helped me feel more organized and
more like all the "to-do's" on the list and such are more
achievable! Hey maybe we cn com eup with 30 YOU COULD's and
boom..there is an action plan for an entire month! And that would
just be doing one 30 minute work session a daysmileys/smiley32.gif

Tammy--this is why I love you. LOL. I think you had 5 awesome ideas.
In 30 minutes, you could make a few follow up/reorder calls and maybe get some sales!
In 30 minutes, you could reorganize your desk/office space and clear out old flyers/expired documents. (**note to self YOU NEED TO DESPERATELY DO THIS!)
In 30 minutes, you could put together 5 Opportunity packets and 5 Hostess packets.
In 30 minutes, you could look through the paper or online to find local upcomingevents/craft shows that you could apply to be part of.
