E Note-Yes! I Was Nervous.

Posted by reallifee on Aug 27, 2009 in E Notes, Encouragement, Entrepreneurship, Mompreneurs, Psychology | 0 comments

I focus on time management coaching but my clients naturally end up asking me about other topics related to their business and life. One question that recently came my way from a client who decided to pursue full-time entrepreneurship was: “How did you feel making the first steps into self employment? Were you nervous?” I loved this question because it reminded me of the importance of authenticity in sharing about our experiences and supporting one another. Here was my response: “So glad you shared your heart and I’m so happy to share mine back with you— The answer is, Yes! I felt incredibly nervous when I quit my job without a clear idea...

E Note-Sales/Life Brilliance

Posted by reallifee on Aug 21, 2009 in E Notes, Encouragement, Entrepreneurship, Internships & Jobs, Psychology, Schedule Makeover | 0 comments

Always in the car, on the phone, or in a meeting, sales people compete with entrepreneurs on who has the highest level of work/life imbalance. Because they typically have flexible schedules, infinite to-do lists, and performance-based incentives, their work can easily consume their lives physically, mentally, and emotionally. (Ever wake up dreaming about your CRM tool?!) If you’re in sales, you may wonder, “Is it possible to be in sales and still have a life?” Fortunately, the answer is, “Yes!” As a full-time entrepreneur for almost four years and a time coach to both entrepreneurs and employees, I’ve found these strategies can help you overcome overwhelm...

E Note-Don’t Give Up, Adapt

Posted by reallifee on Aug 4, 2009 in E Notes, Encouragement, Entrepreneurship, Internships & Jobs, Mompreneurs, Schedule Makeover | 2 comments

My first nine months in business, I could barely keep up with the work. I had an extensive network in the journalism industry, and in 2005, there was still more than enough magazine freelance work to go around. But in 2006, everything changed. I went from saying, “No” to work that wouldn’t fit into my packed schedule to hearing, “No” when I asked editors if they had any assignments for me. Ouch. If I wanted to stay afloat, I needed to adapt. I took a careful examination of my magazine journalism skills and decided that writing offered the most potential. As a writer, I could offer my services to marketing firms, lead a location-independent lifestyle, and...

E Note-My Own Schedule Makeover Part II

Posted by reallifee on Jul 27, 2009 in E Notes, Encouragement, Entrepreneurship, Internships & Jobs, Psychology, Schedule Makeover | 0 comments

Making a schedule is the first step to a life of peace and success, and keeping it is the second step. (To get a sneak peek at how I organize my time, check out Part I in this series.) Once I’ve done my morning processing, I use these strategies to stick to my ideal schedule and complete the most critical tasks: In the afternoon, I take a quick assessment of how many hours I have left and what needs to be done to hit my ending goal. This could mean moving on to a new project, pushing to complete an assignment, or revising my expectations for the day. To really ensure I stick to my end time, I try to schedule activities right after work. It could be something as...
