February was a very busy month! I started out by speaking for the NAPO (National Association of Professional Organizers) WI Chapter at their conference on February 3 and then in the afternoon gave a Build Your Organizing Business workshop to other organizing consultants.

I was home a day and then flew to Jacksonville, FL to speak at the ACES (Amenity Communities Excellence in Selling) conference. What a wonderful group! If you are involved in the real estate world you must meet Terry Weaver of the Marketing and Sales Institute. He puts on an incredible conference and you can just tell the amazing respect he has from the attendees.

From FL I flew to Denver to attend the NSA (National Speakers Association) Winter Workshop. This was a great break! Getting together with old friends, making new ones, and hearing wonderful speakers share their knowledge.

An extra benefit of going to Denver was that I got to spend time with our daughter, Emily, who moved there a month ago.

After I got home from Denver I gave my Organize with Confidence workshop to over 80 women on a very cold, snowy night here in Sioux Falls, SD! I just love sharing how to gain more confidence and get organized at the same time!

How is 2007 going for you? I hope fantastic! But, if you'd like to simplify your life and reconnect to what really matters mark your calendar for March 23-24, 2007 and discover TimeSpa!

In my February, 2007 newsletter I talked about the movie The Secret. One of the presenters in the movie is Jack Canfield (one of the Chicken Soup for the Soul guys). In his book The Success Principles (which is a must read) he gives 64 principles to have success in your life.

The very first one is the one I found to be the best! Maybe that's why he put it first. The first principle is Take 100% Responsibility for Your Life. Wow!

What if we all really did that? What if we all stopped blaming others and took responsibility? I can't even imagine what the world would be like.

• We'd sure get a lot more done because we'd stop waiting for others to take care of what we think is not our problem.
• We'd definitely have calmer minds because we wouldn't be wasting our 'thought' time figuring out how others messed us up and caused all our problems.
• We'd look at others differently because we'd start looking for their strengths and not their weaknesses.
• We'd look at ourselves differently because we’d be giving up our excuses. How great would that be?

Something I've found very interesting as I consult with clients in their homes and offices are the excuses I hear of why they are not organized. I listen but then I say "Let's start with now." Who cares why the piles got here, why there are five boxes of papers for two years in your office, or why you can't walk into your closet? When the client takes responsibility for the clutter I can then help. As long as they think its someone else's fault or problem we won't get anywhere.

Are you being your best? I think the first step to being your best is to take active responsibility for you life, your career, your relationship, you name it!

Then, and only then can you move forward!

This incredible event will be held March 23-24, 2007 in Sioux Falls, SD. You will enter the TimeSpa at 3:00pm on Friday and leave totally refreshed and with an action plan to have more time in your life at 4:00pm on Saturday.

This event is the first of its kind anywhere and I am THRILLED to present it to you.

This weekend is for you if you:

• Feel swamped by piles of paper.
• Have more work to do than hours in the day.
• You can never find what you need when you need it.
• You have stacks of paper on the kitchen counter and your desk and you have no idea what is the best use of your time.
• You feel totally overwhelmed at the office and home and you know it's preventing you from what you want to achieve in your life.
• You are not spending your time you'd like on what you really enjoy.
• Know change has to happen but don't know where to begin.

After the weekend you will:

• Have an action plan with doable tasks.
• Leave with an increased sense of "I can do this" and feel really great about yourself.
