Three Steps to Organization at the Office

We all know that losing a work order and forgetting about an appointment are all bad business! It makes your company come across as incompetent. No business owner wants that!

We have all made those mistakes here and there. The problem comes when it happens repeatedly because of lack of organization! There needs to be a place for everything and a process for everything in order for our business to run smoothly. Your organization skills directly correlate to customer satisfaction.

A book that I would highly recommend is Three Steps to Organization at the Office by Bev Coggins in the 1-2-3...Get Organized series. It is an easy read (and small enough that you can take in your purse/briefcase) and read when you have those "hurry up and wait" times in your schedule.

I would highly recommend this website to any business owner who wants their business/personal life to be more manageable and efficient. Check out the free articles! Also, subscribe to Bev's blog and get organizational tips sent directly to your email.

1-2-3...Get Organized

For the next couple of entries, we are going to feature one of our clients, 1-2-3...Get Organized. We just finished re-designing their website. Being organized in both your business and personal life make for a much higher quality of life. It makes you feel like you have some control over your life. When we live in a state of chaos, we are being controlled by the chaos, and not really accomplishing what we want to.

An organized business/office/workflow help our companies run smoothly and keep our customers happy. But I think organization helps give us time/space to be able to dream about/plan for the next step in our business growth! If we are so overwhelmed by the "tasks of the day" there is little time to plan ahead. And burnout is right around the corner!

So, for the next couple of days we will feature a couple of Bev Coggins' books on how to "organize your life, one area at a time"!

Right now 1-2-3...Get Organized is having a 25% off sale until August 20th celebrating the new website! Remember to type the code '123' to get your discount! Organize your life starting today!!
