FREE Time & Priority Management Event

On Tuesday September 14th from 10am - 12 Noon I will be giving a FREE talk on Time & Priority Management in Calabasas (exact location to be announced later). The purpose of this talk is to help you improve the decisions you make regarding how you choose to spend your time.

This talk is for anyone who is struggling to manage their time. The attendees will include business professionals, parents, athletes and individuals who want to refine or learn tools and techniques to manage their time more efficiently.

Some of the topics I will cover include;

1. An overview of the need for a life plan, business plan and business vision.

2. Assessing the value of your time.

3. How to utilize as much of your time as possible to;

a. Perform the tasks that you enjoy the most.

b. Perform the tasks that bring the most value to your practice or your organization.

c. Perform the tasks that you are most gifted in.

4. How to time track your week to learn where you are not maximizing your time and opportunities.

5. How to let go of the tasks you feel obligated to do but don't bring the most value to your practice or your organization.

6. How to say NO in order to say YES.

7. Creating a "not to do list."

8. Learning how you can schedule your day or "they" will.

9. How to time block your day, week, month and year to stay proactive instead of reactive with your time.

I hope you will choose to join us for this presentation.

There will not be an audio nor video recording of this presentation.

Please RSVP to monica@wizelman.com before Tuesday September 7th, 2010. After you have RSVP'd we will email you the exact location of the presentation.

Anatomy of a 30-45 Second "Commercial"

We are often asked the question, "What do you do?" We should be able to articulate what we do and how it brings benefit in 30 seconds or less. This is a good tool to utilize to construct that "elevator speech" we all need to sell ourselves and what we do in a short and efficient way.

A good 30-second introduction consists of 5 sections. Each section is designed to allow you to share specific information about you and your business.

Section 1: Introduction (12 seconds)

Your name

Your position & company name

Very quick overview of your products and/or services

What type of business or clients do you ideally have?

Section 2: Tell a Story (11 seconds)

What makes you different/unique from your competition?

Share a specific, recent story that exemplifies what makes you different.

Section 3: Ask for the Business (8 seconds)

A good referral for me is (be very specific)

Section 4: Call to Action (7 seconds)

"So if you see/hear/know of _______________________ please give him/her my contact information."

Section 5: Memory Hook (7 Seconds)

My memory hook is _______________

After you say your memory hook/unique selling proposition/what makes you different, conclude with your name and company

Book and Music Recommendation

My long time (14+ years) Executive Assistant and close friend Monica Pincus gave me this book. It is a transparent and vulnerable look into the life of one of the greatest male tennis players in history. It is amazing how honest Agassi shares his life experience and the pain he has endured. This is hands down the best autobiography I have ever read. I cannot recommend it with more enthusiasm.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One of my favorite singer/songwriters is Bruce Springsteen. There are some songs that I would swear he wrote with me in mind. In 1975 Springsteen released the album Born to Run and on it my favorite Springsteen song, Backstreet's. It is my favorite song because the lyrics speak to trying to live up to expectations and telling ourselves stories about how we are not as good as others. The song tells us that we are trying to do and be our best. Here are some of the lyrics from Backstreet's,

"Remember all the movies, Terry, we'd go see

trying to learn to walk like the hero's we thought we had to be

and after all this time to find we're just like all the rest

stranded in the park and forced to confess to hiding on the backstreet's."

Quotation

Excellence is...

- the result of caring more than others think is wise;

-risking more than others think is safe;

-dreaming more than others think is practical

-and expecting more than others think is possible

-Mac Anderson
