Are you interested in a free phone consultation if you qualify?

If I do not feel that I am the best person to assist you, do I have your permission to forward your responses to a trusted colleague who may be better suited to meet your needs? (If you check NO, rest assured that I will honor your request and will not share your responses with anyone else.)

What keeps you awake at night? What would make you feel better about this?

If you could save one hour a day (x 365 days/year) by getting more organized and managing your time better, what would that enable you to do that you are not doing now?

What is one area of your life -- that if you focused on over the next three months -- would make a huge positive difference in the quality of your life? Describe some measurable outcomes you desire. Then imagine that you have already accomplished these outcomes and describe what this would do for you . Using the format below, identify your focus area.

EXAMPLE
Focus #1: Be more organized.

Measurable Outcomes:
I can find anything I need in 15 seconds or less.
I have a filing system for my papers.
I have a system in place to remind me of important follow-up.
The dishes are done before I go to bed and the dishwasher is emptied.
Laundry is done weekly and is put away within 24 hours of being clean and dry.
I entertain on short notice without being embarrassed about the way the house looks.
We only subscribe to publications we read regularly.
We eat dinner as a family at least three times a week.
I have dedicated space for doing my arts & crafts.

Motivation - what this will do for me:

I enjoy spending time at home.
I am able to entertain in our home.
I've raised my self-esteem.
I feel less stressed.
I'm be ahead of things instead of behind the 8-ball.
Others rely on me when I give my word.
