Free Up Your Time For What Matters Most

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

Are you surrounded by clutter?

Does your environment drag you down?

Is the never ending paperwork driving you crazy?

When I met Lorraine Pirihi in 2008 she sent me through an email asking these questions.  I remember thinking “Has she been checking out my office?” 

I was up to my eyeballs in paperwork and sick of wasting my time trying to find things.  I knew there needed to be a better way but like many people needed some help to find a system that worked for me. 

Sounds familiar?  Then check this out.

Introducting Lorraine Pirihi aka The Productivity Queen…

Lorraine PirihiLorraine’s passion for small business combined with her natural organizing abilities led her to create The Productivity Queen…helping small business owners reclaim their business and reclaim their life. Having worked with many small business owners in the past, Lorraine recognised that the average small business owner is extremely disorganized. They are so overwhelmed and time poor because they do not know how to be effective. As a result they limit the growth of their business, suffer from people problems, experience high stress levels, their health deteriorates along with their relationships.

They think if they work harder or hire more people they can get more done. Yet in many instances, the opposite can be true. In fact, just by making small tweaks to the way they work they can easily slash their workday by 30%, run their business with less effort and make more money.It’s not about working harder, it’s about working smarter.

Utilising her skills in productivity, combined with her coaching ability, Lorraine can assist YOU to work much less, increase your profits and get a life! Read the rest of this entry »

Goal Setting – Get the Results you want! (Live Training – Dec 2009)

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

Are you sick sitting on the sideline watching your colleagues being presented with company cars and luxurious holidays wondering if your turn will ever come?

Have you set goals more times than you can count but still find yourself struggling to get the results you want?

Do you sometimes wonder whether you’re really cut out for business and feel like throwing in the towel?

If you have answered YES to any of the questions above then I encourage you to read on because this training module is a MUST for you!

Although I’ve been setting goals for as long as I can remember there have been periods in my life where I’ve really struggled to achieve them.   For the most part I usually enjoyed the goal setting process itself and got really excited about the thought of achieving my goals but once the hype all settled I’d often find myself reading what I had written down or staring at my vision board thinking now what?  Although I knew where I wanted to be and could identify things I needed to do to get there, I seemed to do one of two things.  Either ife would throw me some curved balls and I’d get off track really easily and wouldn’t achieve my goal or I’d be so focused on achieving my goal that other areas of my life suffered as a result.

Family Holiday PhotoInitially I thought it was just me but after mentoring many women over the years I’ve realised that most of us struggle with this aspect of the goal setting process at some time or another.  So I started to look at lots of different goal setting processes and came up with a system that helped keep me achieve my goals and retain balance in my life.  Known as the BizLife Blueprint this Life Management System help you to break the big picture down into bite sized pieces and implement action steps so you stay on track and achieve your goals. 

Using this system the process of setting goals and creating a plan to bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be has never been more simple.

Now just in case you think simple and easy are the same thing lets clear that up now.  Whilst the system itself is SIMPLE getting yourself to step outside of your comfort zone and take action is not EASY especially if you are out of practice!  So in order for this to work and for you to achieve your goals you must commit to do your part.  

If you want to achieve your goals you must become more committed to your results that your excuses!    

So are you ready?  Are you ready to step up and do what it takes to create the lifestyle you’ve always dreamed of?

If you are then this training module is a MUST for you.  ENJOY! Read the rest of this entry »
