Have you ever noticed how your personal life creaps in and affects your business life? This seems to be even more true if you’re an entrepreneur or small business owner. A case in point:

This month, I’ll be discussing office management for entrepreneurs and small business owners. And, as I started to plan out this month’s content I realized how, once again, my life illustrates some points I think should be made. So, since this is the first of the month, the day I post off-topic stuff, I thought I’d share a bit about my life and how it fits into the topic.

Right now, my office is in a disarray. Piles of paper cover my desk, the floor in front of my desk, as well as the floor next to the floor infront of my desk. You see, last month I started some spinal decompression therapy and all my free time was sucked into a black hole.

But, its turned out to be a good thing. I’ve been forced to focus. I no longer have the luxury of working on all 15+ blogs and projects I’ve got going. I have to focus on just one or two. Lucky you! Women’s Business Gallery and its associated The Product Midwife have become that focus.

So what does all this have to do with office managment? Well, without it, I wouldn’t even be able to focus on WBG! I’ve created systems that help me focus my tasks. Would you believe that those aforementioned piles of paper fit into that system? They do, however loosely.

You see, once you’ve set up systems, life can throw you some real curves without throwing you out the window. Because I know where I stack things, because I know when I do certain types of tasks, I was able to take a look at the work on my plate and make an educated decision about what didn’t need to be taken care of while I worked on my back’s health.

Now, speaking of health, I thought I’d throw in a little teaser about a project I’m working on with The Fitness Jeanie. In June, she’s going to be running a special 5-day detox program. I’m going to participate and I’d love it if you’d join me!

Now, that doesn’t mean you have to do the detox with me. What I mean is I’ve set up a special list for this program. You can sign up below and when I’ve got more information, you’ll be the first to know. I’ll send you articles about detox (that Jeanie wrote) and, while I’m going through the detox program, I’m going to post messages to that list about my expeirence.

So, here’s what I’d like you to do:

Step One: Sign Up for the 5-Day Detox with Carma and The Fitness Jeanie mailing list.

Step Two: Confirm your subscription.

Step Three: Decide whether you’ll be a participant or an observer. If the former, purchase the detox package when it becomes available. If the latter, sit back and enjoy the ride!
