These coaching tips might help you be "at your best"
 
  • Get your ideas out of your head and onto paper. It takes less energy to think about a task or project if you write your thoughts down or sketch images, rather than holding it all in your brain processor.
  • Keep your commitments to yourself, like exercise times and self-care activities. Integrity with you is the first step toward integrity in relationship with others.
  • Stop your negative mental chatter and choose the best of who you are. Use a silicone wristband that reminds you to be-who-you-are-at-your-best-self (bewhour@urbestself) and choose the best of your qualities.  Check out the website www.urbestself.com for the wristband and suggestions on how to use this supporting structure.

miz biz wizChloe's Chronicles

Meet Chloe, Business Energetix's Business Wizard; we call her MizBizWiz.  When Chloe joined us, we didn't realize the depth of her talents for noticing how stuff works but she has dazzled and amazed us with her ability to relate her observations to common business issues. Read on to see how she serves as a constant source of instruction and inspiration for exploring the challenges of management.

 

Today I want to tell you what I learned recently about taking care of myself. It's too bad I had to learn this the hard way.

 

I got sick last week after spending a couple days with my peeps in the kennel. Not that dreaded cough, but a fever, chills, aches and pains. Yuck! The only thing I wanted to do was snuggle in my bed and sleep around the clock. I didn't even eat and if you know me, you know that means I really was sick 'cause I love to eat. 

 

I take my work as a business wizard very seriously and I thought Business Energetix couldn't possibly run for a day or two without my astute observations. So, I tried to go for my walks and I dragged myself to the office, thinking I could contribute a little bit, even if it wasn't my best. Do you ever do that-try to work when you're not really well?

 

Book Summary

Smart Books = Smart Business: How to Take Charge of Your Accounting and Really Run Your Business Profitably, by Marie Gibson, 2010

 

I wish Marie had written this book before I struggled with setting up my business accounting system! I would've saved so much time, frustration and money if I had been walked through the process by this easy-to-read book that answers the questions we business owners might be too embarrassed to ask our accountant...or, our accountants' might be to busy to answer. Not only does she guide you through the set-up process, she educates you on preparing and using financial reports and statements to actually run the business profitably, just as the title promises.

 

Gibson takes her reader through the process of setting up a manual accounting system so the tasks and functions are clear before automating with a financial accounting software system. Most problems with software like QuickBooks® are really problems with the user's understanding of accounting procedures. Using a manual system of file folders, summary sheets and file drawers, Gibson illustrates the flow of money into and out of the business and the correct accounting for transactions. In the chapter on working with your accountant, she defines the terms you'll need to know and ties them back to the system, manual or automated.
