C=Clutter: We have had lots of discussions about our work areas and the clutter and how to re-organize to make our spaces more efficient. Right now our minds are cluttered with so much new information and changes and our feelings about all of it, we are not functioning at our top abilities. It is time to clean out those feelings and focus on the positive aspects of our businesses to get us on the right track again.

H=How: With all the new information we are having to learn and our new class learning how to TUNE-UPP our stores, how do we find time to get everything done? The most important piece for me is to know I can’t do it all at once; I have to divide it up into smaller “bites” and stick with a plan till I have it under control. Are you making your “ta da” lists? Are you controlling those distractions? Are you consistent in your listings-even if it is only 1-2 per day? I find at least an hour daily to clean out an area/drawer/closet by making a keep pile, get rid of/give away pile and toss pile. It is very motivating. The get rid of pile is particularly motivating for me because I know I can take it to Savers thrift store and donate and get a percentage off on my shopping, and that’s the fun reward for all the hard work. Don’t forget to nourish and hydrate the body and take frequent breaks to stretch.

A=Attitude and Action: Having a positive attitude and taking positive actions is very important to your success. Focus on what is positive about your business and what you can do to make it better.

O=Organize: Organize your brain, your work areas and your tasks to keep you on track and focused.

S=Schedule: Schedule your days and turn your chaos into sales. If you have a list and follow a schedule-and this will look different for all of us-and do this consistently, your SALES will follow.

I’m a member of the Danni App Behind the Scenes Membership. We’ve got the best teacher for our classes, the best group for support and help with our questions, and an opportunity to be very successful. Even if you are not an Appster there are still many places to get information such as the Danni App Facebook group. now let’s put all that to work for us and go out and get those sales and have fun, fun, fun!

We all want to have a booming successful business. We want our things flying off the shelves so to speak, I know I do! For me, right now, that isn’t realistic. I have three small children and only a certain amount of time each day to spend on my business. I have set realistic goals based on my current list of priorities.

Are you setting your expectations to match your priorities? Or are you setting yourself up for disappointment? Now I’m not saying you cant have goals to work towards, I just want to make sure your goals are attainable for your situation so that you don’t get discouraged.

For me, I know that one day I would love to be as successful as my mama. I am so proud of her and look up to all she has done with her business. One day I will get there but my current goals have to match my current priorities and with three small children ( one of which is still under a year old) I have to be realistic with what I can achieve and what is success for me. That keeps me from being overwhelmed or feeling like I’ll never reach my goals.

Figure out what your priorities are and what your goals are, do they match? Or perhaps you are setting an unattainable goal or even selling yourself short. Maybe you can accomplish much more than you have aimed for? Be sure that as your life changes, you reevaluate where you are and where you want to be. As my children grow, so do my goals because I know I can dedicate more time to achieving them.
