The Learning is In The Doing...

The You Are a CEO program was designed in a way that you would have a three phase approach to the learning. First you will hear the audio CD or watch a DVD to introduce yourself to the program. Then you will read your handouts which reinforces the topic and gives you time to consider how this can be applied to your life. Then the blogging or exercises that are done seal the deal because the learning is in the doing. When you actually do a project or task you implement...then it becomes a part of you.

The Organize Your Life section was really beneficial for me. I learned to organize my life which make work and life easier. It feels good just to have things in order and of course any business office will be judged by customers when it is unorganized and messy. There is so much personal satisfaction when I sit down at my desk each day and there is no clutter.

My desk top is clean and everything is organized. My in basket holds new work, my out basket holds work that is going out and my work in progress basket holds what I am presently working on. My file drawers store items I may need at a later date for reference. To maintain my work area I take time each week to throw away things I don't use and then on a regular basis we conduct S.A.F.E.-T. days where the whole office makes sure we are all implementing the principles of the You Are a CEO program. Oh and we even has a monitor who checks us out... I love it and you will too!

DID YOU KNOW THIS PROGRAM COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE?

ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE PRONE TO HEART DISEASE.

If you are A CEO, business owner or career professional you probably already know all about stress and how it can lead to heart disease... combined your age, lack of exercise and an unbalanced diet you could be a time bomb ticking.

To reduce your risk of heart disease or heart attack we suggest you organize your life and learn the executive life skills we teach which can reduce your personal stress level tremendously and possibly even the risks of heart disease.

The You Are a CEO program is a personal development tool that you have invested in and we know it can help you but you have to implement what you learn. That means schedule the time to sit down and listen to the CD's and DVD's and do the work.

This is a wonderful program that can help you organize your mind, space, time and finances and with these key areas in check life is so much easier to manage you won't feel stressed out.

Take it from me, I was a heart attack waiting to happen and I have learned so much from the You Are a CEO program that not only did I reduced my personal stress but I actually developed a life I care about enough to start improving my health and if I can do it anyone can.

So start today and be diligent in your learning because as you become the CEO of your life you will start living a healthy life. You will want to spending time on you, your personal growth and your development. Once your head has the right information you will want to develop habits that support a healthy heart with a balanced diet, regular exercising and maintaining a healthy weight that could ultimately help save your life or the life of someone you love.

You can learn more at the "The Heart Truth" campaign which is a program of the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute that aims to raise awareness and provide education about the risk of heart disease in women. Log on to www.hearttruth.gov or womenheart.org.

Feeling Alone?

 

Make a Contract With Yourself

Sometimes we just don't have the willpower and or discipline to get jobs done. I struggle with that and so what I do is I make contracts with myself and I use the power of organization to help myself get stuff done.

The first tool I learned is to make lists. Write down the things you need to do.
Then after you know what needs to be done then you can make a schedule and plan for when you can get the task done. There are many tools you can use and I have a template that I post with days and times that is color coded.

Then you make it fool proof...for me I set a reminder in Outlook and about 15 minutes before I should start the task a reminder beeps my Blackberry and it also pops up on my computer: "You need to Take Your Test, Get Tires on the Car, Work on a Project.

When I finish the goal then I delete it and I feel a sense of accomplishment that makes me feel good about getting stuff done.

I have lists for personal stuff, shopping stuff, weight loss stuff and work stuff. I am developing school stuff because I plan to go back to school in a few weeks.

Anyway for those of you in Club 3 you should be well into your program:

We should see that you have listened to the Introduction CD and the Executive Audio Book Series on Personal Awareness, Positive Thinking, Positive Relationships and Discipline. You should have posted a blog for each topic and commented on someone else's blog. There is so much learning in sharing and reading others posts.

After that you will proceed to the Organize Your Life Series and this will really help you get more from life and your time.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I have and lets chat soon.
