YOU CAN’T BUY TIME

The way you look on the outside your hair, makeup, wardrobe is a reflection of what you’re feeling on the inside. Your appearance makes an impression loud and clear, before you ever speak a word. Do you love how you look?
Authenticity is the key. When you honor your Unique Presence and dress to support the real you, your life will change. One of the holistic tools I use with my clients is called Fashion Feng Shui and it teaches us to honor our inner essence. Take the time to find the right garments to put in your closet, have them tailored to fit your body/shape perfectly, and choose the colors and styles that flatter your Unique Presence.
In order to feel authentic, you need to get clear on who and what you want to be. Paying attention to all areas of your life and getting clarity about your purpose will help you to move forward. Remember you’re the only one that can make it happen. It’s in your hands to create the life you desire.
When you take great care in nurturing yourself it shines through in all areas of your life — you are in the flow and that energy shows. If you are not nurturing and honoring all areas of your life — your health and wellness, mental and physical, relationships, and spirituality — it will start to show in your energy level and appearance.
So how well do you treat yourself?
Do you listen to your body when it’s telling you something?
Do you feel fabulous and energetic?
Do you eat healthy foods that fortify your body and energize you?
Do you make exercise a priority in your daily routine?
Do you spend time doing something that you love?
If you answered “no” to any of these questions, it’s time to take a look at your life and where you need to make some changes.
Do you notice during the safety presentation on an airplane that the flight attendant tells you to put your oxygen mask on FIRST before trying to assist anyone else? Well that is great advice! You need to care for yourself first before trying to assist others in life as well.
Make a choice to fall in love with yourself right now, today, just as you are. Start focusing on extreme self-care so that you can shine and be fabulous in all areas of your life. Yes, it takes time, money and effort all those things we need more of in each day — but when you pay attention to these important areas of your life you will notice that changes start to happen. You will stand taller, be more confident and feel an overall sense of lightness and ease in your daily encounters with potential clients, clients, colleagues — anyone you come in contact with.
When you’re passionate about your life it shows. So make the choice to discover your Unique Presence and nurture it with extreme self-care. You will be glowing!

YOU CAN’T BUY TIME19030YOU CAN’T BUY TIMEAs entrepreneurs,one of ourobjectives is to make and build connections with others.Sometimes, we can let thisareaget out of control.

Do you havepeople calling to have coffee,orlunch so they can get to know you, or to pick your brain? Is that always the most effective use of your time? Is your business best servedby driving to the location, and waiting on food service?

When it isn’t, you may not feel comfortablegiving them a flat out “No,I don’t have time”.Instead, you canlet them know that you’re too busy to meet, but would like to set up a time to talk. Suggest that youschedule a 15 minute or half hour phone conversation.This sets the boundaries for the call and ultimatelyfor your time.

At the beginning of the phone conversation, reiterate that you have scheduled 15 or 30 minutes for the call and will need toend on time for your next appointment. You are again setting thetime limitsfor the conversation, andcreatingthe expectation that the call will focus on a worthwhile discussion.

You can also choose a day of the week that you will be in your office for these conversations. Let the other person know that you schedule phone calls on Fridays between 10 and 2. What time would work for them?

Look carefully at your connection building time and make sure that it is working for you, not just the other person. The old phrase, “buy more time” is a misnomer. Time is finite and only you can protect the time that you have.
