Message from Marlene
Why you Aren't Getting What you Want
From Chaos to Clarity

Dear %$Name$%,

Welcome to the first edition of "The Drama Stops Here." This is a new bi-monthly publication for small business owners and entrepreneurs who want less stress and more success. The focus will be in what I call the "four quadrants." The four quadrants include your personal life, your professional life, your physical world and your non-physical world.

Speaking of your "non-physical world", success always starts with your inner game, so this week's message is about the one thing keeping you from "getting to your island."


Why You Aren't Getting What You Want

Have you ever felt like you are in a little rowboat rowing to an island but you never get there? Your boat springs a leak, or you hit a rock. Your team members spend more time bashing each other with their oars than helping you row. No matter how hard you try you don't seem to get to where you want to go? Well, there's only one reason you aren't getting to the island.

See if you can guess the riddle.
This same “reason” you don’t get what you want is  why you feel stuck, experience conflict with someone, deal with unnecessary drama in the office, or can’t get along with your kids and spouse.

It might seem as though your troubles are due to someone else’s lack of cooperation or even the economy or circumstances. This one thing disguises itself as doubt, confusion, anger and frustration.

Can you guess what that one thing is?
You are probably thinking that the answer is to “just make a decision,” but that would be incorrect.

From Chaos to Clarity

Do you suffer from the drama of confusion and clutter? What should you do with the piles of unopened mail? How do you know when it’s time to file something or throw it away? Does your productivity suffer because of your systems, your habits or your tools?

My guest today is going to help you sort it all out, and if you listen to the end, you’ll discover the main difference between an organized versus a disorganized person! If you have a team, you may want to use this as a lunch and learn development program. I guarantee you will be inspired!
