I actually made money early this year by selling unneeded office furniture, ink & toner, etc. I also donated some presentation supplies to one my favorite non-profits, “Women’s Initiative for Self Employment.” That created more space for my webinar production push.
So I thought you would like to use the first tip below to either cash-in or recycle all the stuff that is getting in the way of you and your small business growth.
Cash-in or Donate office or business supplies you haven’t used in the last year. Return them to the store for credit or donate them to your favorite charity. You may also know someone who would be happy to pay you for your unused discount ink or toner if you buy a new printer. Recycle other discard if you can, because it is just less clutter in your office and your mind.
Plus, here is my ‘ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure’ tip on using your calendar before that important date.
Make a calendar note, one week before any event or project due. For example: Do you need to review the work done and which recommendations you’ll make before a client meeting date?
Whatever it is, make a note of it in advance so you can stay of top of your tasks. Because you don’t want that calendar date to turn into “Did you need to send flowers last week for Mother’s Day?”
