  • Networking Opportunities! Networking doesn’t get any easier than this. When you enter the Booked Solid Network, you’ll discover a first-class community filled with purpose, bravery and mutual respect (remember, Michael wrote Book Yourself Solid for people who hate the typical networking schtick) .

  • Answers from the Pros! Get immediate answers to your most pressing financial, legal, marketing, client management and small business issues. The BYS network was built so you can get quick answers and expert advice on the fly.

  • Marketing Tools! Forget conventional e-mail announcements or boring paper invitations. Create a buzz with stylized self-promotions and unique electronic announcements that get you noticed. Catchy audio postcards help you keep-in-touch with existing clients and reach potential clients. Record personalized messages right on your computer. Then, put your marketing on auto-pilot using our teleconferencing and broadcasting system that lets you connect with up to 150 people at a time. Calendar features allow you to invite members to your events and the electronic audio and video postcards encourage non-members to not to miss your “affairs to remember.”
  • Your Own Blog and Website! Boost referrals when you express yourself as the biggest, boldest you. Share your story and reveal the true talent within you and your work. Make yourself known in the network with your personal blog and website! Inquiring minds want to know: How did you start your business? What advice can you share from your experiences? What keeps you ahead of the curve in challenging or stressful times? We have so much to learn from each other - rookies and pros alike. Write your own advice column, podcast content or easily record videos using our built in video capture system (seriously simple, no tech skills required, really!) to make your mark on the network and fully show up in the world.
  • Valuable Member Reviews! Why wonder what your peers are reading, using, loving or hating when you can flip through BYS member reviewed resources in the blink of an eye. Next time you find yourself deliberating over the value of a resource, check the BYS network first. Save time and money when you find out the best products and programs and get a handle on others that are a total flop. Browse our growing database of small business related products and services and get the unbiased truth from other members. Rate a few (you yourself have used) share your information with others and give someone else the inside scoop, too.
  • Time Saving Techniques and Tools! Get it done. Quicker. Better. Brighter. Faster and sweeter. If you can’t make more time, you might as well maximize what you’ve got. Task Manager tools give you the gusto to set goals, organize tasks and follow through more efficiently. Keep your business private or up the ante and share your goals with people or partners in the network, you choose. Ah, the power of publicing goals.
  • Dynamic Accountability Groups! We all know when you work together you have more fun and get more done to boot! Time management tools with the added benefit of dynamic accountability connections are the trick to achieving what you’ve always wanted but haven’t quite wrapped yourself around. Get the tough stuff done today. It’s simple to drop yourself into a BYS accountability group. Start crossing off daunting tasks that haven’t made it to the top of the to-do list. Feel waves of “I finally-got-it-done!” So refreshing and uplifting, you might even find extra time for you at the end of the day. Who knew it would only take a cool system of people who care about you combined with a built in task management system to make you feel so inspired? The system is so perfectly created; you’ll wonder how you did business without it.
  • Live Chats! Jump into one of our many scheduled live voice chat sessions. Talk, type or just sit back-listen in and enjoy. Guest speakers will be hosting hot topic presentations.

article linkTake Charge of Your Time and Space (SharonSayler)
posted Tue May 5th 2009 @ 9:23 PM

Sallie Felton, co-author of the e-book "Clutter Free and Clear: Take Charge of Your Time and Space" joined me today on Beyond Lip Service. Sallie challenged us to reflect on the waus that clutter effects us, while defining clutter in three broad categories:

1. material
2. physical
3. emotional

She suggests setting non-negotiable appointments with ourselves to get specific tasks accomplished, actually scheduling them in your day planner.

Take the task and break it into 15 to 30 time segments makes it more manageable. One of her suggestions was to put on a 30 minute CD and work on the task until the music stopped. I thought of it as task musical-chairs; with a little discipline (keeping the appointments with yourself) all the chairs (tasks) will be removed as you go! Clutter can overwhelm us, Sallie mentioned that when we fudge on our appointments with ourselves we are really making the statement "I'm really not that important. I can let it slide..." Would you let your kids or someone else important in your life "slide?"

Speaking of kids, listen into the last 8 minutes of the May 5th Beyond Lip Service where we talk about great things to do with kids artwork... some things I never thought of. Drop me a comment or note share some of your declutter ideas. Visit www.blogtalkradio.com/beyondlipservice to listen in.

A parting thought is that your environment feeds your soul... start where you stand, set small, specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time-oriented tasks. You'll be where you want to be in no time at all...

Have a great day whatever your adventure.
