For the next week, create some small time blocks and let me know how it works for you.

Just take like 5 tasks that you know need to be done next week and create a block in your calendar (online or paper) and stick to that time block.

It's all about getting into a schedule. And with creating a schedule, you will become MORE productive! I promise!

Feel free to comment below if you need help.

Do you know how much time you spend on tasks? That little bit of information can help you with setting up your time blocks.

Let me guess, you keep track of client billable time, but not the time you work on your business. Most business owners don't track the time they spend working one their business.

Need a simple time tracker? I use my Quickbooks software! That way, all of my time is in one place AND I can easily create reports. If you already keep track of your client time in Quickbooks, this should be a no brainer.

Let me know if you do keep track of your time and if you do, what software you use.

I have several clients who time block. They schedule different blocks of tasks on their calendar to make sure things get done. The tasks times range from 20 minutes to 2 hours - it just depends on the task.

Doing a time block helps you focus on that ONE task and get that ONE task done completely (or at least make a big dent into it)!

Now, does that large 2 hour block include breaks? NO, but my client gets on a roll and doesn't need a break! So, know how you work and if you need a break every 30 minutes, 1 hour, whatever - and break down the time block.

My clients who use this technique are more productive in getting their work done. Need some help on figuring out your time blocks or your calendar in general? Set up a call and let's get you more productive.

When I first started my business, I networked ALL OF THE TIME. Seriously. I would go to at least 2 group meetings a week and then have multiple 1-2-1s also. And there was no blocked time for this. It was just when an opportunity came up or when it could be scheduled. This was great for getting my name out there and also to get comfortable networking since I had never done it before.

However, there's a point in your business where you have to limit the networking and work on your company. RIGHT?! The next step I did was I limited my networking days to 2x per week. NO EXCEPTIONS! It provided me with the time to get work done and grow my network too.

Guess what? This is TIME BLOCKING! There are so many different types of time blocking. Limiting networking to 2 days a week was a starting point for me. Now I have EVERY task listed in Google Calendar so that I make sure that it gets done AND there is time blocked to do it.

Want to get your calendar organized so that you get EVERYTHING done? Let's chat! I'll give you a couple of tips and you can take it from there!

How do you manage your to do list?

Do you schedule your tasks on your calendar? Do you just list them and work your way down the list? Do you just have everything in your head (please say no to that one!)?

I would love to hear how you keep track of what you have to do and how you prioritize them.

Do you schedule follow up time after your networking?

Take some time today and follow up on a couple of people who you met this week. It could be with an email or a text just to say it was great meeting you.

If you set up a 1-2-1, even better! I promise, you will make some great relationships by reaching out. I know there has been so many times, where NO ONE has reached out to me or when they do, it's salesy or an automatic add to their newsletter.

So stand out from the crowd and cultivate some new business relationships! Let me know how it goes!

I have several clients who I help with keeping in touch and top of mind with their clients.

How? By sending greeting cards for their birthdays and during the holidays. But we also nurture their network by sending thank you cards and sometimes a gift!

The best part for my clients - they get emails, texts and calls from people who they send to! Sometime that leads to an "I've been meaning to call you about..." The 2nd best part is that my clients don't need to do anything, just tell me and I take care of it.

So, what do you do to keep in touch and top of mind with your clients?

How do you follow up with people you meet at networking events?

I usually send an email saying it was great to meet you and keep in touch. I usually invite them to another networking event that I'm apart of and see if they would like to set up a 1-2-1. NO sales-y email and automatically putting them on my email list.

It usually ends up with us having a 1-2-1 and building a rapport - even if they aren't my ideal client because they might know someone who might be my ideal client!

Now, an email is a fast and easy way to reach out, but what about really standing out? Know how I do that? I send a thank you card for meeting with me!

When was the last time you sent a thank you card? Do you have a followup process in place for your networking? If not, let's chat! I would love to help set up a system for you that will make you stand out and grow your business.
