Today marks 36 trips around the sun for me and recently 4 years in business. The older I get, the more reflective I think birthdays make me. In life, as in business, there have been mistakes, poor decisions and sometimes I haven't handled things the best way. BUT, I'm trying really hard to learn from things that didn't turn out the best and focus on doing better in the future. Also, this quote gives me Nike vibes. #theavidorganiser #keepmeorganised #lifelessons #goingforward #problemsolving #townsvillebusiness #townsvillesmallbusiness #canberrabusinessowners #canberrasmallbusiness #canberrabusinesswomen #businessowners #smallbusiness #birthdays #reflections

How do you like your coffee? Got a coffee order

How do you like your coffee? Got a coffee order that you should probably have printed on a business card to hand to a barista? I'm a coffee lover who's really not that into coffee. I have a half strength vanilla latte on almond milk. My husband hates ordering coffee for me. Sometimes I imagine the barista gets my order and probably rolls his/her eyes. I love my local Muffin Break coffee because it tastes the same EVERY time. What's your favourite coffee spot? #theavidorganiser #coffee #coffeewithavanilla #poorbaristas #muffinbreakcoffee #townsvillecoffee #treatyourtastebuds #myfavouritecoffee

I'm sure most of you have heard the famous phrase

I'm sure most of you have heard the famous phrase attributed to Julius Caesar "Divide et Impera" translated to Divide and Conquer or Divide and Rule. Did you know you can apply this method to your business admin?
Sometimes it can be very overwhelming to make changes or tackle the things that you have put off for months. But, by breaking down the mountain of work into small sections you can: A. Get some task satisfaction to keep you motivated on your way to completing the 'big' task
B. Complete some, if not all, of the 'big' task rather than procrastinating and getting nothing done. Henry Ford said, "Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs." #theavidorganiser #keepmeorganised #divideandconquer #killtheclutter #procrastination #organisemylife #adminhelp #bettersolutions #problemsolving #townsvillebusiness #townsvillesmallbusiness #canberrabusinessowners #canberrasmallbusiness #canberrabusinesswomen #businessowners #smallbusiness #henryfordwisdom #happyclients

Anyone learnt a great business or life lesson late

Anyone learnt a great business or life lesson lately? My lesson came after a session with Kathy @mindsettoinspire (I'm part of her Confident Speakers Academy). We were talking about pricing and value. By the end of the session I realised that the way I think about my services and how I price them is linked to two beliefs I didn't even know I had. It's kind of confronting to realise I wasn't even aware of them. But as my friend Angie @findyourblinggame says, "Grow through what you go through." #theavidorganiser #keepmeorganised #lifelessons #bettersolutions #problemsolving #unhelpfulbeliefs #townsvillebusiness #townsvillesmallbusiness #canberrabusinessowners #canberrasmallbusiness #canberrabusinesswomen #businessowners #smallbusiness #bigrealisations The lessons just don't stop.

Do you ever feel like you wish you could press pause on your life or your business for a bit? Take a beat and catch up before pressing start again? #theavidorganiser #takeabreak #presspause #restingnotquitting #townsvillebusiness #townsvillebusinessowners

So I've recently realised I missed an important milestone!
Today is officially 4 years, 1 month and 4 days of being in business. I'm really proud of making it this far. There have been lots of times I've wanted to give up, but the encouragement of my husband, friends and family has helped me stick it out. So, today I'm celebrating 4 years, 1 month and 4 days of doing work I love, working with clients I respect and admire, helping to pay the bills and learning all sorts of random skills. The best achievement has been creating the life my husband and I want. It might not be anyone else's idea of great, but its ours and that's what matters. Thank you to the clients who used my services, the ongoing clients, the return clients and the business friends/peers who consistently refer me business. #workanniversary #theavidorganiser #4yearsdone #businessadventure #thankyous #townsvillesmallbusiness #ladybosswinning

Peter Walsh said, "Later is the best friend of clutter." I think he is spot on. This is the best reason to tidy/sort/delete your digital and paper files as you go. 10 minutes at the end of each day isn't much of an inconvenience in the grand scheme of things. Giving up a whole morning or even a full day just to sort out the filing is annoying and I'm sure you've got other things you'd rather be doing. I'd rather be playing my piano, what would you rather be doing? #theavidorganiser #organisationaltips #aplaceforeverything #filing #sortingitout #townsville #townsvillebusiness #townsvilleorganiser #functionalorganisation #organisemyoffice #organisemylife #townsvilleadminhelp #smallbusinessowner #womeninbusiness #ladyboss #organisemybusiness #organisation #shorttermpain

My clients have called me ‘a trusted assistant’, ‘a support angel’ and ‘a life saver’. So, if you’re feeling overwhelmed by your to-do list, work mess or troublesome tech, contacting me is a great place to start. I can work WITH you or FOR you (and sometimes a bit of both). I want to: * assist you when you need extra hands to get the job done;
* support you with new ideas to make your work life easier; and
* tackle whole sections of work so you can focus on the things you are passionate about. #theavidorganiser #gettingorganised #aplaceforeverything #filing #sortingitout #officeassistance #townsville #townsvillebusiness #townsvilleorganiser #functionalorganisation #organisemyoffice #organisemylife #townsvilleadminhelp #smallbusinessowner #womeninbusiness #ladyboss #organisemybusiness #organisation
