I’ve been a personal assistant, organizer and consultant for over 30 years for people who expect and can pay for the best. My systems for organization started by making sure my clients were taken care of and their wishes anticipated. This meant nothing could go wrong and all answers needed to be at my fingertips.

Days and nights were long, and often weekends too! Those of you who travel know how heart-wrenching it is to be away from home so I always kept a picture of my kids in my planner. It was my bright light that helped me through difficult times, always driving and motivating me to do my best.

For the past 30 years, I never go anywhere without my planner in hand and everything gets written down. I keep my business card in my planner window, reminding me that by building my business, I’m working towards freedom and more time with my family, MY WHY.

So keep moving forward, especially during the hard times. Work smart and remember the reason you do what you do. You’ve got this.
