Recycle. Recycle file folders, plastic bags, paper. Recycle.
Well, how about recycling useful information... you know, all that good stuff you have been accumulating in your head for years! Here are some tips to recycle YOUR organizing expertise to serve you and your organizing business as a marketing tool, a revenue source, or both.
1. Write out those organizing 'sound bites' you are forever telling your clients, audiences, family, friends, and anyone else who will listen to you. Once you write out those tips, organize them into the most likely categories for your organizing specialty.
2. Consider the different formats that manuscript could become. You can print it as a booklet, record it as an audio tape, develop it into daily reminder cards, use a tip per day on a calendar, just to name a few of the many possibilities.
3. Map out how you want to distribute each of the products you chose from the above list. Some will be handed out to promote your business. Others will become new direct sources of income.
4. Notice how the products balance out the service side of your business. Products can be a good match for a client's budget when they cannot afford or are not ready to purchase your consulting or speaking services.
5. Plan to introduce at least one or two new informational products a year to expand your business. That allows you to stay in touch with your prospects, clients and former clients each time you launch a new product, all while growing your business.
Recycle your knowledge to nurture your clients and to nurture your own business development. Use those resources you already have for everyone's benefit.

--Conquer Desktop Clutter with Action Files-- ---© Jan Jasper 2003-- Action files enable you to unclutter your desk yet still keep reminders and current papers close at hand. Also known as working files, these files are usually separate from -- and in addition to – client, project, or reference files. Action files are for current or pending activities and miscellaneous things you must act on. Action files must always be within easy reach-- ideally in a small desktop file holder that holds the file folders upright so the tabs are clearly visible. For added peace of mind, make a note in your calendar or scheduling software to remind you of important dates. This combats the “out of sight, out of mind” worry and lets you clear your desk without fearing you’ll forget something important. Suggested categories for Action Files: • phone calls to return • agenda for an upcoming staff meeting • expenses to submit • bills to pay • papers to file • business development ideas • good ideas to try someday • papers to photocopy • current departmental & administrative matters • pending health insurance claims • your upcoming business trip • tasks to delegate to your assistant • conferences to register for • matters to discuss with co-workers • errands to run, gifts to buy, sale coupons • things to discuss with your child’s teacher or doctor • pending (for example, letters you sent for which you must receive a reply) It’s not necessary to use every category listed here, and feel free to add any others that suit you. ===About the Author=== Jan Jasper has been training busy people to work smarter, not harder since 1988.
