Achieve Results at Home, At Work, and In Life

Dear Lisa,

Ah, another month has gone by... where does the time go? For me, it was a special month, as I celebrated my birthday on January 28th! My husband whisked me off to the Big Apple for some wonderful food, theater, and culture. We stayed at a friend's pied-à-terre in midtown and enjoyed a culinary "tour" of appetizers at one restaurant, dinner at another and, .... you guessed it, desert at a third. Yum! We also saw Memphis on Broadway, which was a powerhouse of a show! The next day, we enjoyed brunch at a French bistro that made us feel like we were back in Paris on our honeymoon, a long and leisurely walk in Central Park soaking up the sights and sounds, and some amazing hot chocolate at a pattiserie on Madison Avenue. Can you say spoiled? :-)

I've been working hard behind the scenes the past few months on a rebranding of my business, which will include a soon-to-be-revealed website and blog, a combined ezine, new bundled products, and some great new programs. I can't wait to show you the big reveal! I hope you love it. For me, it will be a fabulous way to streamline all of my content, while more fully embracing my unique brand. For example, many of you are subscribed to both of my ezines, Decide to be Organized and Next Level Business Success. In the next few months, I will be folding them into one newly-branded ezine (which means less work for me, and less email for you!). I will also be folding my blog into my new website, so there will be no need to visit more than one domain, and bundling some of my stand alone products to create new ones that are targeted at specific needs you may be struggling with.

And don't worry -- while my business is moving in a broader, bigger direction , I still LOVE organizing. It will definitely continue to be a powerful tool that I'll keep talking, writing, and teaching about long into the future. But organizing (or what I am now calling productivity, which is a lot broader and all encompassing) will only be a piece of the pie that I'll be serving up. :-) As most of you know, I am a multi-passionate person and entrepreneur, and my new brand will be more focused on the intersection of personal and professional effectiveness and development. There is so much more I want to share with you and I am eager to be able to launch it all under my new brand, so stay tuned.

Indeed, in order to make room for new programs that I am excited to roll out, this will be the only time this year that I will be offering the DECIDE to be Organized Group Coaching Program LIVE. So if you are "on the fence", hop on over to the other side and register by the early bird deadline of February 17th to take advantage of th e $100 savings, and be able to participate live. See the Lisa Recommends section below or click here to go straight to the details and registration page.

And if you find that you are, like me, a multi-passionate person or entrepreneur and would love to find out ways to juggle all of those passions, join me for a live chat with Stephanie Calahan, as she interviews me about Passion Management: How to Juggle All of the Passions We Have, on Thursday, February 16th at 8:00 p.m. Eastern. I am giving away my ebook, Create Your Purpose, Live Your Passion to all that register, so go on over and sign up here: http://bit.ly/fireupbiz. Stephani e and I are very much looking forward to having an engaging, interactive discussion about this topic, and I am also doing a bonus Q&A call directly after the teleclass, so stay on the line to be able to ask us a burning question.

If you have a few minutes, listen to my recent interview with Kristi Meyer on WebTalkRadio.net. We discussed the relationship between indecisiveness and disorganization... and much more!

This month's feature article is something a little different. It's not an article at all! It's a video. I was walking my dogs and thinking of a new template or checklist I needed to create for my business, and realized how vital checklists and templates are to streamlining life and business. So I came back inside, clicked on m y Mac, and recorded this video instead of writing out an article. I thought it may be fun to mix up the way I deliver my content to you, so take a look! I hope it helps you create some of your own templates and checklists. If you do, feel free to share them with me by hitting reply to this email, posting something on my Facebook business page, or commenting on my blog. I love hearing from you.

So, with that... have a fabulous February, and Happy Valentine's Day!
