yrs ago and very early in my business I created a promotion to foster sales and to remind folks of me and my company. It was called 10% off on the 10th. I did it at first to avoid month end crunch – quota sales and all – but then it became a platform that worked really well for when to send a newsletter and when to make courtesy calls – in other words it worked. It got so big I had to stop doing it! I was losing profits! I think despite how popular or unpopular this post might be you stated clearly it helps you foster personal accountability and for me it has me think of you every monday! To me that’s a form of branding and darn clever.

I wore ALL my hats today and got so much done I am rewarding myself with a trip to the post office ( giggle!)

I HATE doing my book keeping. I am going to motivate myself to catch up on it by…

Hmmm… I think I am going to put it off another day

Actually, I am not going to allow myself to work other business projects until I work on it.

What a good call, Monday’s are such a pain. I’m going to get the following done all during the same hour if I can:

Buy x-mas presents.
Do the laundry.
Conduct an interview.

After I’m done I’m going to treat myself to a Sunday. If I fail to complete them I’m going to give up desert for a week.

I am going into 2 weeks of holiday mayhem, today was the staging day for it all to go accordingly – I wore 6 hats, ate at my desk and stayed in my PJ’s. With the day behind me I thank myself for planning monday’s as my planning day because my weekends would other wise be a blur of more of the same.

I had an awesome relaxing weekend

I am avoiding a hateful desk pile project and sales taxes

so if that’s done by the end of the week … I’ll treat myself to a long walk – about the best I can do on a dime

1- Start business plan for my work at home business (thanks to this blog for the inspiration and the constant motivation)

2- 2 blog posts

3- Write article for Work It, Mom

To motivate myself…I thought long and hard about this one so this is what I came up with :

If I fail to complete all three then I have to go 2 days without my cell phone…yikes!
