SUNDAY RESET FOR HOME BASE BUSINESS

Monday is for the “weak”, Sunday is for the “strong”, let’s get your home-base business powered up through cleaning and organization.

Sunday is the real Monday. If I not mistaken in a famous song of Kanye titled Selah, in one of his bars he says “they say the weak start on Monday, but the strong start on Sunday” and I totally concur with this notion. Sunday is the most chill day to optimize in your business and here’s why:

Most of the world use/views it as a universal laidback day.
The majority of others are not conducting business.
It helps set the tone for the rest of the week, kicking of your Monday to a galactic start.
You can catch up on emails, no one really responds to emails on a Sunday.
Lay out your project management agenda.
Organize, structure, clean home and home-base (aka home-office)
Rollout and schedule direct marketing templates, posts, blogs, and more!

Monday’s energy is for most is dreadful, regretful, and hectic often feeling as if they’re already behind the curveball. I believe this is due to the intense vibration and expectations for the week, many people put such a demand on themselves that they already feel as though they’ve lost.

Area of operation the KITCHEN! Running a home-base business your world’s tend to collide a little and intermingle and that’s okay, but draw strong boundaries and organize your home and fixtures in a way that doesn’t increase disorganization or a mess. I promise you your kitchen is a major factor of presentation and vibe especially if you have an open kitchen like I do. It is imperative you have a clean kitchen, meals planned, and everything in it rightful space. Here are a few things I am doing in my kitchen today:

Cleaning out refrigerator.
Light cabinet organization.
Meal planning for the week.
Washing dishes.
Making a 1/2 gallon or cold press coffee and 1 gallon of green tea w/mint, limes, and lemon.

My kitchen is a very intimate space for me so how it looks and how I move about in it really effects my mood. I love my little tea sets and coffee cups, spoons, French press machine, etc. It is these little moments of daily rituals that enrich my life. If my kitchen is chaotic most likely so am I.

If your room is a mess so are you. Your most intimate living quarters can serve as a clear reflection of your internal self. It is imperative for home-base business owners to maintain a space the allows for free flowing energy. A lack of organization and cleanliness in these areas weighs on the soul.

A messy bedroom causes you to lose time, immediately invoke feeling of stress, and confusion. If you want to jumpstart your day and wakeup un-groggy with your feet hitting the ground running…. CLEAN YOUR ROOM!

Upon waking up do not scroll on phone, get up immediately and following make up your bed ASAP! I’d dare so say have your daily workout clothes and wardrobe set the night before. Here a somethings I am doing today to set the tone for my bedroom:

Hanging up some new wall decor.
Washing all laundry, comforters, sheets, etc.
Hanging and folding all laundry (this is major). I have a bad habit of leaving clothes on my chaise lounge or worst on the floor in a clean pile. (lol don’t judge me)
Dusting! I live in an old factory loft so dust is life around here.
Maximize and organize some unused space/storage.

Lastly, and of course your home office the home base of operations! If you want to curate productivity, mastery, and functionality CLEAN YOUR OFFICE! This is all about mindset business owners, you want to minimize spacial clutter that we tend to internalize on a subconscious level. My ideas and production increases astronomically, it’s as if I’ve taken a mega B12 shot, filling me with creativity and energy. Here are some things I am working on as I upgrade my home-base:

Refurbishing and painting some repurposed furniture.
Hanging up some pics and wall units.
Putting together my new cafe bar.
Buying and setting up new small refrigerator.
Arranging my plants and repotting some.
Painting my walls GOLD!
Setting up new lighting fixtures.
Organizing files and paperwork.
Some other miscellaneous tasks.

Well, there you have it! Please share what you plan to do? Are you mapping out and maximizing your day for the upcoming week? This may sound like a lot, but in fact this is all very obtainable in less than eight hours. Do not allow volume to discourage you, anything is better than nothing. The awesome thing about this type of start is you can massively smash the majority of your week’s tasks.

Please be sure to comment and share your ideas below, we’d love to hear from you here at CEO DriveHer. For more please check us out at http://www.ceodriveher.shop and email us.

MARCH MADNESS OR MARCH MAESTRO

March is a pivotal month for many of us on the western side of the world. It is where winter chills begin to turn into springtime filled with blooming hills. The color green by some unspoken rule has championed as its mascot signifying new life, nature, rebirthing, wealth, generosity, and of course good fortune. Saying that is the common belief of many why on earth in this rebirthing time of the year would we speak “madness” over it?

The other day I found myself saying over and over here come March Madness and for the first time I felt extremely convicted of speaking such words especially in the current time we are living in. On this day and this very morning chaos and war continues in Ukraine with Russia, across America crime is running rampant, inflation is racing to a 40 year high, our government and elected officials are useless, and literally it is as if the world, my city, our country has gone MAD. So I immediately shifted my tune and decided to speak life and not death as we close out of Q1 and enter into Q2 of 2022, and the spring equinox is officially March 20th of this year.

After many reviews of positive words that begin with the “M” maestro stuck out at once. I do not know if it is because I am literally writing this blog while listening classical music, Beethoven – Symphony No. 8, but it seemed very fitting for us home-based entrepreneurs! What is a maestro you say? A maestro is a conductor of classical music, a great and distinguished individual, and that is what I want for us CEO’s to aspire to be in the month of March 2022.

The weight of the world and these times are a bit much, we must chose to operate, build, and dream to a higher tune of success in the midst of it all. So I commission you to mind your words, let us not create more madness by the words which we speak, but rather create harmony in our businesses. Be the maestro of your domain, symphony tunes of consistency, productivity, profitability, and creativity. More than any time in our lives it is imperative we keep plow to ground, steady chopping at wood until the job is done, do NOT let up my fellow home-based business crew.

I believe March will be what we make of it by minding what we speak, what we allow ourselves to see, watch, hear, even as deep to the environments we’re in. Remember this month is a close to our time of incubation (figuratively speaking), we must move with intentionality having a well-charted course and plan of action in our personal lives and business.

In closing with death and madness all around us we shall bloom and be the last ones standing working towards our prophetic destiny. Here are some things I’ve chosen to do to help put myself in a higher gear of concentration and momentum:

Powdered down my most destructive social media platform which serves more as a personal account than business. I temporarily disabled it so that I stay out of the constant news updates.
Currently have changed my selection of music to invoke deeper brain power, concentration, and focus. It really really works. Having been a fan of classical music my entire life and lo-fi instrumentals I wanted to get back into that musical selection a bit more.
Restarting my high-fat keto meals and laying off the comfort meals.
Upping my running and walking.
Creating a full March Maestro plan of action for ALL my companies and seeking 30% increase of operations minimum.

As we “March” forward into this time of transition of economics, business, mindsets, climate, and so much more remember of all times, years, this is really the greatest time to be alive, to witness the coming shift. Have faith and build your businesses, many generations with thank you in years to come because you chose to persevere!

Happy Marching!

LOOKING AT THE DRY ERASE BOARD

DRY ERASE BOARDS A PICTURE BOARD FOR THE BRAIN.

A DRY ERASE BOARD WHEN USED IS THE CHAOTIC MIND ORGANIZED TO BRING CLARITY & complete tasks.

It is now 5:47 a.m. so this serves as an impromptu writing of the sorts. I was about to close my laptop, the laptop I’ve been sitting in front of for at least 10 hours today, even when eating my dinner.

As I was finishing up some organizing of my soon to be released ebook, I glanced to the left side of me where my dry erase board sits. I looked over at the numerous listings of tasks that needed to be completed by the close of Sunday evening which is less than 48 hours away. Mind you when I wrote it out earlier I thought I could have it all done by the end of well now morning lol! Wishful thinking I guess. *shrugs*

There with bullet points stand seventeen tasks, most of which are very large in nature. The irony is I felt at peace looking at it. I feel reassured the tasks will be done, now, do I feel overwhelmed? Well of course, but I also have visions and semi feelgoods envisioning the sense of accomplishment I’ll have, having completed them all.

So I just wanted to write this quick reminder of the importance of not only visualizing the end result, but writing out the tasks. See a lot of our anxiety and built up frustration comes from us failing to organize our thoughts. So what happens is the brain goes in overdrive. Though I write a lot for a person like myself I honestly still do not write enough. Every time I pin up, write down, journal, or map out my plans; I am beyond pleased with my outcome and usually finish well ahead of schedule. Writing is the ultimate manifestation weaponry. Write it down and it is sure to happen!

So not only will I complete the missions listed on my dry erase board, I will be thrilled to dry erase those task with pen in the other hand ready to update with newer ones.

Dry erase boards are the new age canvases for thinkers and task rabbits, I don’t think we, well I, use them enough and sadly I have 3 of them that are in my bedroom office, ha. This canvas for thinkers are such a beautiful picture of the mind in a way. As you write on it you can feel your mind come at ease almost reassured that yourself heard yourself. The mind lacks confidence in us, or maybe it knows we’re procrastinators, or maybe it just likes to torment us repetitively with thoughts; either way it seeks reassurance, and that only comes when it can mirror itself on paper, sticky notes, or even a dry erase board. Thoughts are often like looking at an atom through a microscope, just chaotic to see, busy and beautiful, but no order, no structure.

So bust out those dry erase markers of all sizes and colors, hang up that dry erase board, and transcribe those pesky tasks and thoughts of “to do’s” in numerical order and get to work! Heck I even had put on the board “make up bed” and “hang up clothes from laundry day”, write it all, make sure they’re task that you can accomplish within 48 – 72 hours, give yourself some time, but they must be done by then. For longer dated tasks use a separate board and make sure wherever you place these boards they’re highly visible.
