The Tote....

So being busy is something that a business owner is very use to. At any given time you have to be prepared for whatever may come your way. That could be a networking event, talking to a potential client and so much more. How do you keep it together? How do you house all you need for those unexpected moments?

I will share my little secret with you. I use the Cindy Tote from Thirty-One Gifts. It helps me carry all I need for the day plus stay organized. It has interior and exterior pockets for my cell phone, business cards, pins and all that jazz.

The great thing is that it can also be personalized. Well I am working on getting my logo on mine but if you just want the name of your company on it that will not be a problem.

Seriously it is the bag you need for all that you do.

Here is a pic of the bag if your wondering.

Contact me if you want more information on how to order your own #1 organizing tote.

Dedicated...

As we meet with different businesses and possible start-ups we wonder if they really understand the passion that goes into having a business. A business can be seen as a child that if you do not nurture them they will not grow up to be productive or successful people in the world. The business will only be what you allow it to be. The business is a direct reflection on you. Where is your dedication? Do you seem to be making the needed moves so that your business will be successful? Are you thinking outside the box? Are you taking risk that could mean a high return? No one can do it for you. The journey of having your business unless you are in a partnership is directly your load to carry. How are you managing it? If any of your answers to the questions below are not what you desire them to be contact us today for a FREE consultation to discuss what changes can be made so that your dream is a reality.

The Crossroads

As with anything in life change is inevitable. For me my business has gone through its highs and lows and I have seen that my dedication to certain services stand strong. Times have changed. People surely have changed and I have to make a decision that will impact the rest of my career. What changes do I want for Make It Happen Consulting? The mission has been to be the helping hand that others need to fulfill their dream. It was not until this year that my clients have been allowing me to do just that. I am just a help giving them information to help them follow out their passion. Not every client has given me that opportunity. It has been not only do I want you to consult me but do it as well. The reason I have my company is because I am passionate about organization and structure. When it comes to taking over someone else dream that is not where my heart is. That leaves me where I stand today. I want to be effective, happy and successful. I have to look internally for that voice that speaks to my heart and the change I want to be in this world. Not everyone will have these moments but they are common. The best thing to do is take it in stride and be ready for a shift. It could be exactly what the business needs. Thanks for supporting and being here as Make It Happen Consulting transitions. Organizational Strategist Carla Thorpe.
