Each Project is Unique

One of things I really enjoy about helping others get organized is that each project and each person is unique.

Yes, there are some things that are fairly standard - like using lists and daily to-do's and so on. But even then, there are lots of variations to that too. Some like to use pen and paper, some use notebooks or daily journals, others use online systems.

But where it gets fun for me is sitting down with someone and listening to what it is that they do, what it is that they need, and what is unique or special about their situation. Then I get to come up with ideas that are custom created just for that person and that situation.

For example, I met with someone recently who gets lots of prospects from trade shows and so on. This means lots of ballot entries with names of potential clients and things they might be interested in learning more about.

The only problem was what to do with all those slips of paper. So I created a sheet for her that gave a place to attach the ballot slip, plus places for all the details she needed to know and work with. I'm hoping it will simplify her life considerably by having all that information in one place and giving her a system for doing effective follow-up.

So what is unique about you and your situation? Where do you need help getting organized?

Of course you are welcome to contact me for help and ideas, but sometimes just asking around to see what other business owners or professionals do might net you some good ideas to try out.
