In this Issue... From Head Coach Jillian: A Personal Note Congratulations and Celebrations: Sheryl, Paula, Carolyn and Sherry Feature Article: Your Sexy Calendar Feature Product \|$40 Savings (for the first 25): "Design Your Calendar"

Personal Note...

I hope all of you fully enjoyed your Thanksgiving holiday. Tom and I had 18 people over for thanksgiving dinner, it was a blast... here's a snapshot of our dinner table.

Did you take some real time off for yourself and are now back in the “swing” of things?

And that’s what I want to talk with you about today. How many of you had trouble either letting go of work to enjoy your holiday or getting back to work after your holiday? It’s tough to walk away from the desk and simply leave it behind. And sometimes it is even tougher to bring ourselves back after being away. That to-do list is huge and seemingly unending! I’ve included a couple of great ideas to tame your to-do list and reclaim your sanity and energy. If you like these ideas you’ll love my new product “Design That Sexy Calendar.”

This may be a bit of a bold statement, but I don’t think we can manage time. Time has an agenda of its own and simply keeps on going. The best we can do is decide what we are going to do with our time.

There is a lot going to happen to all of us in the next few weeks regardless of how we celebrate upcoming holidays. Your calendar like mine is going to be pulled in lots of directions. We can either go crazy with our calendars or design a sexy one that works for us and everyone else. If you’d like some pointers to stay sane during December plus design a calendar for 2006 that will let you work less and get more done…read on.

To Carloyn Carman coaching in the Year In Gear Program

Since starting Jillian's teleclass what I have realized is with growth we need more systems to support ourselves. Having a weekly calendar and a plan is a key system I am now using. I'm integrating store hours as well. This has added value to a fast growing business for someone who hadn't found that balance in the past. Thank you Jillian. Gratefully, Carolyn

To Paula Vetter coaching in the Year In Gear Program

The calendar and balanced goal setting have made me feel free and in control of my life again. I am finding JOY in my activities instead of driving myself to exhaustion and being unfulfilled. Quite an accomplishment in just one week! Thanks, Jillian, for your clarity and your RELEVANCE . Blessings,

To Sherry Roden coaching in the Six-Month Savvy Sponsoring Program

The calendar training our team has received from Jillian has revolutionized the way we spend our time. No longer do we devote inordinate time for administrative tasks, but now, we focus our energies toward revenue-producing activities. Every person who "Designed Their
Calendar" had volume increases. As a result, in one month, our team's
volume increased by over 33%. Thank you Jillian, for making a difference in our entire team!

To Sheryl Mann coaching in the Year In Gear Program

Hi Jillian, After 20 some years in chiropractic practice, wellness businesses and various entrepreneurial ventures, thinking that I could not learn much new about scheduling, you have brought me a great gift. I have implemented the simplest tools you recommended that have made a significant difference in my scheduling, efficiency and productivity! I have always struggled with a massive, unending to-do list for years... one that seemed to have no chance of ever being fulfilled. With the strategies you have shared about actually plugging the specific daily activities directly into measured time slots in my schedule each day, I have gotten a lot more done and feel I can get "caught up", stop putting fires out and start being more proactive. This is eliminating that nagging feeling that there is never enough time. I can't thank you enough for your simple, yet profoundly well-planned and well-communicated coaching strategies that bring joy and peace of mind back to my business and my life! I look forward to having all my serious teammates join us in your future programs. My deepest thanks,
Dr. Sheryl Mann

Feature Article...
Your Sexy Calendar

It can be really tough sometimes making transitions from one mind set to another, especially when we need to make those transitions around time. Starting and stopping one activity and moving into another can be difficult, but sometimes nothing seems tougher than stopping work and coming back to it after a holiday.

We call this problem time management. But you know the more I work with my own time and coach others to work with theirs the more I realize that it isn’t about managing time. Time can’t be managed. It just keeps going on doing its thing….march march march…

What we can do is make some real decisions about what to do with our time. That’s the only thing we really have control over.

I think this is so important that my six month Savvy Sponsoring program starts off with the not so very sexy topic of store hours and calendar and it’s a critical part of my six week Get Your Year In Gear Program. Why? Because without a good awareness of how you spend your time, things simply don’t run smoothly. Typically we are running from one thing to another as fast as we can to keep up with all we have to do…and at the end of the day we still have 49 items on our to-do list that didn’t get done. What’s worse, we’re exhausted. And tomorrow is going to look exactly like today another never ending to-do list.

There is another way. Honest.

There is a way that is so simple that you can tear up that to-do list. In fact tearing up your to-do list is a requirement to make it work. Not only can you tear it up you can still get everything done you need to and have some energy left over at the end of the day for you.

No kidding. If you don’t think it’s true check out the success stories. Real people making real changes in their lives and their businesses and so can you. What does it take to tear up the to-do list? A new way of thinking. That means you need to be proactive (no pixie dust here).

Here is the first new thing to do. Take everything on your to-do list and give it a time slot in your calendar. Yes, everything. Picking up the kids from school, running to the post office, making those phone calls. Everything has its very own time slot in your calendar. Here is the best way to make this happen.
(1) List everything you’d like to get done.
(2) Prioritize the list.
(3) Put the most important items into your calendar first adding the lower priority things if there’s time.
(4) Tear up the list.
(5) Work from your calendar.

No more squeezing that never ending task list into an already full schedule. Put each item into its own time slot and - then tear up the to-do list.

A critical piece is to make a conscious intentional choice when you change something in your calendar. Then no one can pull your “time rug” out from under you. It may get tugged on, but you will have control. Conscious intention is a critical part of making your calendar work. This means rather than just “not doing it” you take a minute to actually move the item from one time slot to another. You are aware you’re making the change, that you’re taking the action to change something. There are no surprises at the end of the day because you neglected to look at and follow your calendar. Go ahead and make changes, it’s your calendar you decide what to do…but the key word here is decide. Conscious intentional choice, it makes all the difference in the world.

There is a lot more to keeping a calendar that is Sexy and lean that gives you plenty of time to make money, keep your family happy and most important take care of you too. But if you just add these few steps you’ll be far and away in a better place than you are now!

Before signing off this time, I have a question for you.
It's a simple one:

Is this you?

"I just don’t have time to do everything on my to-do list. I'm tired of running all day and never finishing. Help!"

Are you a running a network marketing business and:

Your calendar has you running - doing one thing and on to the next and the next - but so jammed packed you still can’t get everything done?

You check off the 99 things on your to-do list but there is always something left on your list at the end of the day?

You get so discouraged trying to stay on time with your calendar you often just throw up your hands and walk away?

Are you tired, really tired of just go go go every day even though you know if you “sacrifice” now later will be wonderful - or so "they" say.

If you said yes to any of the above, you'll want to know about our New Savvy Sponsoring Quick Start Module "Design Your Calendar"

As a network marketer it is hard to manage your time, juggle your day to day life while also trying to run and manage a business.

Quite often it is your business that suffers, falling to the bottom of the list as other things take priority.

Or perhaps you find yourself always 'sidetracked' by the needs of your business, to the dismay of your family members.

The bottom line is when you don't have a calendar you love – yes love - it’s tough to stay balanced and enjoy your life and run a successful sustainable business.
