Organized Holistically - Systems, Processes and Personal Branding for Solopreneurs - SideHustlers

Today's episode is the first episode of Organized Holistically's Season 3 and it is also the first in our planning themed month. We are kicking it off with a bang as we talk about the right way to plan in your business. As Solopreneurs, you don't have a lot of excess time to spare in your business, so you want to ensure you are using your time wisely. In our episode today we are going to dig into the number one issue I see with most Solopreneurs when it comes to strategically planning their year. I break down the difference between macro and micro planning and I also bring it full circle so you know how to start with your top-level goals and develop a full plan of action that helps you achieve that goal.

I look forward to digging into this topic with you!

You guys are so used to me sharing my guest episodes on Got Clutter? Get Organized! but this week I'm sharing with you Janet M. Taylor's episode on Organized Holistically!

Now, many of you didn't know that Janet started her business back in 1994 before small businesses were all the rage as they are today. She took her natural ability and started Totally Organized, LLC. Her celebrity clients have included Les Brown and Dyana Williams to name a few. In April 2018, Janet appeared on the Rachael Ray Show where she was crowned the Clutter Free Queen and she has also appeared on HGTV's Mission Organization!

In this episode, she joined me and shared all kinds of details about her exciting journey. I mean in my opinion she is a bit of a celebrity herself, don't you think? Well, I can't wait for you to hear this episode!

During our lessons learned conversation with Janet we talked about:

• How she started her solopreneurial journey;
• How she landed celebrity clients and her tv spots; and
• What her business looks like now

In this episode, I am speaking with Lei Comerford, who is a leadership coach, facilitator and learning and development consultant. She helps others reach beyond their goals by helping them increase their self-awareness. We really covered a number of different topics during this episode, from not knowing what she didn't know, even as a person coming from Corporate America to how she was able to get her name out there without having a formalized company.

During our conversation we also talked about:

• Her major transition and how it lead to her solopreneurship
• The importance of your network and business development
• The importance of getting a coach, even if you are a coach

If you are interested in connecting with Lei, visit her show notes page. I also encourage you to check out other episodes there as well.

In this episode, I talk to you about a new organizing concept I developed called process forecasting. It is when you create processes to account for things that could happen in the future. Think of it as being similar to developing a disaster recovery plan for your processes and data.

Topics Covered

• What Process Forecasting Is;
• Examples of why you may need it; and
• Ways I have used it in my own business.
