Welcome If you want to succeed in your life and home business you need to, first of all, get organized and understand why you want to succeed? Who are you doing it for? What are you hoping to achieve with your home business? More money? Freedom from the rat race? Peace of mind? Whatever the reason, you need to always remember your “why” because it is going to be an uphill battle to success. There will be times when you will feel so tired, when you will feel like the world is conspiring against you to fail. You will feel like your business is not bringing you any closer to your goals. When that time comes, remember your “why” and you will feel your motivation come back.

Chapter One INTRODUCTION
Staying organized both in your home life and work life can sometimes be a challenge. If you work from home or just have a small home office, it’s very important to make sure your workspace is properly maintained, and you can find everything easily. Too much clutter can make life much more difficult, and important tasks and papers can get lost in the shuffle. With proper organization, you can easily find the things you are looking for as well as feel like your personal life and workspace are neat and clean. Even your computer should be properly organized, so items in various folders and on your desktop are quickly and easily accessed.

Do You Always Have to Take Huge Steps? The drive to improve yourself is something that should always be commended. If you make a habit of self-improvement, then this of course increases the likelihood that you will improve with time. This in turn should hopefully lead to you being more efficient, happier, healthier, more confident etc. The better you get, the better you are at taking on life and the better life gets. But there are ways and ways of going about self-improvement and some people will approach this effort in the wrong way. For instance, many of us are under the assumption that the best types of changes we can make are those ‘big steps.’ You hear terms like ‘turn over a new leaf’ and ‘start afresh’ as though you’re just going to hit that ‘reset’ button and everything will be perfect right away. In reality, the best self-improvement often involves taking much smaller steps.
www.WiseBusinessUniversity.com | page 07
Why Slow and Steady Wins the Race Breaking out of new habits and introducing new habits into our routine are both things that are very difficult and that require a lot of effort. Habits form due to repetition which eventually strengthens connections in the brain and makes those connections much stronger to the point where they almost fire automatically. It’s like creating a deep groove and then running water along the surface – it gravitates to the groove. If you’re trying to change that habit, then you’re going to be exerting a lot of energy to go against this natural inclination each time you perform that action. This in turn means that you need a lot of focus and willpower if you’re going to be successful. So, if you’re trying to change twenty things at once, or if you’re going from no exercise to 10 hours a week of exercise, then you’re fighting a losing battle. You’ve set yourself up to fail! This is particularly pertinent if it’s something like information overload that you’re trying to combat. In this case, your new routine is actually adding to that information overload! Instead, then try changing just one small thing or introducing just one small new habit at a time. This makes it much easier to make that one change and that then allows you to try and introduce another ‘small step’. Over time, these build up and start to have profound impacts on your life.
www.WiseBusinessUniversity.com | page 08
Chapter Two CUTTING OUT YOUR HABITS
Cutting Out Your Habits If you’re trying to combat your information overload and get your mind and life more organized, then there are a range of different negative habits that can make this more difficult. Some examples: Procrastinating in the evening and watching rubbish TV instead of doing something constructive. Procrastinating at work on Facebook instead of diving straight into something productive. Doing too much work for others. Using the phone all the time and stressing yourself out with unnecessary information. The problem is, habits are… well habitual. Due to repetition, they become very deeply ingrained not only in terms of the neural networks they form but also in terms of the other routines we build up around them. So how do you start changing these habits? www.WiseBusinessUniversity.com | page 09
Change Your Routines and Environments There’s actually more of a connection between the neural side of your habits and the lifestyle factors than you might realize. The key to understand is that the routines and habits you have built up can become triggers. Thus, the moment you’re left alone in the house, you might load up YouTube. It’s that moment of your partner/family/housemate leaving through the door that starts firing that neural pathway that leads to the ingrained behavior. One way to break out of those bad habits then is to remove those triggers and the associations. How do you do this? By changing your environment and by changing your routines. This is actually one of the reasons that drug and alcohol addicts are often taken to rehab – it takes them out of their usual environment and removes the triggers that can trigger those bad habits. Of course, you’re no addict, but a long holiday or just a change to your routine can make a difference.
Make It Easy While you’re in the process of changing your habits and routines, then you should also try and make sure that your new set-up makes it as easy as possible for you to succeed. If your aim was to go to the gym more, than would mean joining a nearby gym and it would mean setting your gym kit out on the bed night before. In this case? It means being vocal about your plans and it means making changes like turning off your phone. If your phone is off at a certain time – even installing apps that restrict usage! Set yourself up for victory and ideally it should be easier to stick to the new goals than it is to fail on them.

Chapter three REDUCE STRESS WITH CLEANING AND ORGANIZING
How many years have you started spring cleaning only to be discouraged by the sheer amount of stuff or distracted by the beautiful weather? Would you like to complete spring cleaning this year, before summer? Then it is time to tackle those big, deep organizing projects such as the basement, garage, and maybe some closets, drawers, or cabinets. Whether you start with the basement or garage, begin in one corner and work your way around the room.
www.WiseBusinessUniversity.com | page 11
Spring organizing Let go of the items you honestly will never use again by asking yourself those tough questions: when did I last use this? when do I think I will use it again? do I like this? If you catch yourself answering maybe to most of these questions, you might want to organize with a friend, family member, or professional organizer who will keep you focused and help you decide "yes" or "no." Once you remove everything that does not belong (donate, trash, goes elsewhere), you may have all the storage space you need. If not, take measurements of your space and the items you want to store, and go shopping (maybe even in other rooms of your house). If it is difficult to figure out which organizing product works best in your situation, ask the person at the store, do some research on the web, consult a professional organizer, or use another knowledgeable resource. Now, what about those closets, drawers, and cabinets? Once you sort and purge what does not belong, you will probably be amazed at how much space you have. If you need some tips on how to best organize what remains, flip through a magazine, sketch a diagram of the space, enlist a professional organizer, etc. No matter what you decide to organize, ask for help, make it fun, reward yourself, and maintain the organization. If you do not know where to start, do yourself a favor and schedule a free consultation. In the long run you will save time and money and be more relaxed. Sometimes you need another perspective, someone to keep you focused, or a little bit of expertise.

Chapter four SIMPLE RULES OF HOME ORGANIZATION
Let's be honest. Nobody likes rules. But the thing is, if you're serious about home organization, then there are some specific rules you'll want to follow. You'll see how much easier organization will be by taking the following simple steps
www.WiseBusinessUniversity.com | page 13
Home Organizing Rule 1: Touch It Once This is a form of procrastination, and it causes problems and discouragement because something is being put off until later. It could be a little laziness, but more often it's due to lack of time. The thing is, this rule will save you time. For everything you put off until later, you're touching it twice when it should be just once. You (or someone you live with) is procrastinating and putting things off until later. Why? To save a couple of seconds today, you're wasting five minutes tomorrow. For example... You come home, throw the shirt on the bed because you're going to hang it up or throw it in the laundry basket later. Or you shove it on a shelf in the closet and will hang it later. No good. This is two steps when it should be one. Common sense? Of course. But few practice this simple rule of home organizing. Touch it once. The coffee cup goes in the dishwasher, not on the counter and into the dishwasher later. The mail coming in the house should be dealt with immediately...not added to a pile where you touch it more than once for no reason at all other than procrastination.
Home Organizing Rule 2: Keep Things Together That Belong Together Sweaters with sweaters. Shirts with shirts. One shelf for snacks and a shelf for cans. Take a look around a fancy clothing store. They're designed to help you (the customer) find exactly what you need. Wouldn't it be nice to find whatever it is you're looking for in a matter of seconds? Same goes for a grocery store. If these shelves weren't organized, these stores would go broke because nobody would be able to find a thing.
www.WiseBusinessUniversity.com | page 14
Home Organizing Rule 3 - Organize ONLY One Space at a Time Work on one small space at a time in set increments and try and do it every single day. It might only be for fifteen or twenty minutes, but the key is to get something organized every day and make it consistent. If you try and tackle too much at once, you won't get done because of an already hectic schedule. Incomplete tasks are discouraging and you might just give up. The smaller the task, the easier to complete and the better you'll feel. Often organizing something as small as a junk drawer or even your wallet can give you the boost in motivation to "step it up" into a bigger project. If you have to do the junk drawer over a two day period, big deal? Take two days to do it. Getting it done is the key. One small step at a time. .
www.WiseBusinessUniversity.com | page 15
Chapter five ORGANIZING STUFF FOR ORGANIZATION
What are the best times in your life when it's sensible to clean house and get rid of stuff you don't use? Take advantage of these opportunities to clean out your home and downsize your belongings. When you move from one house to another is the best time to get rid of things you no longer need. Why move stuff you haven't used from one place to another where you won't use it either? Think kitchen gadgets and closets as your best place to start. Do you have a wok but can't remember the last time you cooked anything stir-fried? If you rarely entertain, do you really need all those wine glasses and extra sets of dishes? How many plastic containers are in the cupboard and how many do you really use on a weekly basis?
www.WiseBusinessUniversity.com | page 16
Give stuff to people who are in need Get rid of the sizes you never use. Spend a little time to consider how much of your stuff you really use and make up your mind to let go of what is just taking up space. Of course, when I say here to get rid of something, I mean donate it- don't throw it away unless it doesn't work or it's broken. There are plenty of charitable organizations happy to have your stuff as long as it's usable. Look at your linen closet- how many of those sets of sheets to you really use? If you have towels that have lost their fluff, out they go. Old makeup and medical supplies should be tossed, especially if it's now past the expiration date. If there is stuff in the basement or garage still in boxes from the last move, it's safe to say you won't use it again. Test your courage by just tossing the boxes without even looking in them. If you can't manage this without your palms starting to sweat, then check to make sure there wasn't a hidden treasure in one of them. When your kids grow up and move out, it's time to clean out the stuff they didn't take with them. Don't feel you should keep your kids' room as a shrine to them. While I understand you want to keep your memories, you don't need to keep sports equipment from high school or every trophy they ever won. If it's not important enough for your kids to take with them to their new place, you shouldn't hold onto it either. Offer them the chance to keep what they want, but set a deadline for them to move out their things. If you've always wanted a reading room or a place to work on your crafts, now you'll have it. Or, make this into the fancy room your guests will be thrilled to spend the night in. Redecorate, renovate and make that room your own! At some point as you get older, you may decide your house is too much to keep up and you'll move to a smaller place such as a condo. Now you will absolutely need to decide what to get rid of since storage space will be limited. Once again, your kitchen and closets are the best areas that can be downsized. At this point, your lifestyle may also change - you may dine out more often than at home, causing you to need less kitchen gizmos. Consider your new routine and decide what you will no longer need. Take advantage of these major life events to sift through your stuff, get rid of what you will no longer need in your new life, and donate it to someone else who could use it to start their new life. www.WiseBusinessUniversity.com | page 17
Chapter six CLEARING CLUTTER TO BRING BALANCE IN YOUR LIFE
One of the best ways to put more balance in your life is to get rid of clutter. I sincerely believe that a cluttered house or office just creates disorder in your mind, not to mention the guilt you feel about how you should be spending your time straightening up instead of doing what you really want. Start first with the mail you bring in as you come home at night. Spend a moment right in front of the trash can or recycle bin and sort it. Junk mail should be dumped right then. Pile all magazines in the same place, newest ones on the bottom. This way, when you have time to read them, you are looking at the oldest issue first. Bills are next- who wants them staring at you in the hallway every time you come home? Open them up immediately, check the due date, and file them in some type of organizer that will remind you to pay them. Check this file weekly and pay them based on when you get paid. This way, you won't pay them late and you won't spend your hard-earned money on late fees. If you spend just five minutes a day going through your mail, this will be one less chore that needs to be done on the weekend.

Attracting Positive Change – Start With Your Neglected Clutter If you are looking to attract positive change and seriously move stale energy out, start with your neglected clutter. Getting rid of all the things you are not using will create space for new energy and movement.
I'm a firm believer that: If it doesn't work… If you can't remember when you last used it or… If it doesn't make you feel good then... Move It Out! Now, I know... sounds easy doesn't it? Then why do we all have so much clutter? Here are some tips and techniques that have worked for me to move unused items from my life. You see I've tested them on my own personal clutter and I know they work. First you will need some bankers boxes (you can get these anywhere you purchase office supplies). Bankers boxes work the best because they have lids and are stackable and a handheld recorder (you can get one cheaply at any electronics department).
www.WiseBusinessUniversity.com | page 19
How to eliminate your clutter ·Label the boxes anyway you like ...maybe with a letter (A, B, C etc.) or with a color, green, red, orange. Go around and start putting your dear clutter in the boxes while recording the contents with your recorder. (You can do this little by little whenever you have a spare few minutes). When the boxes are full, stack them neatly in a closet, garage, attic, etc. anywhere where they are out of sight. When you have a little time, sit down, play back the recorder and transfer the information to a spreadsheet, word document, index cards or whatever system works best for you. (By indexing you can easily find and retrieve anything you might have mistakenly filed away). Simply look the object up in the index to find the appropriate box and go get it! It's that easy! After a time, if you find you really don't need all the things you have stored, You can donate usable items to your favorite charitable organization. You can have a yard sale and make some cash, or you can make money by starting your own on-line store on eBay and you can have fun by giving your clutter a second life!
www.WiseBusinessUniversity.com | page 20
Creating space for new, exciting ideas and energy A good rule of thumb is "If you have not used it or thought about it in a year then you probably don't need it and you can let it go." The great thing about this process is that it overcomes the two main obstacles to clearing clutter. First, you may have thrown something away only to realize later that you really needed it. So now you are reluctant to throw anything away. Secondly, you believe that it can take quite a chunk of time to do a really good job of sorting and eliminating your unwanted stuff. In the past, you may have started to get organized only to abandon the effort for want of time and organization and ended up with a bigger mess on your hands. These steps can eliminate these obstacles because the sorting can be done extremely quickly without the possibility of discarding valuables. Doing these small things is your first step in creating space for new, exciting ideas and energy. Get ready for an abundance of fresh ideas and energy to enhance your living!
www.WiseBusinessUniversity.com | page 21
Exciting ideas and energy - Start your business One of the best, low-cost ways to invest in your business skills is to join a Network Marketing company. There are many other options such as starting a traditional business or maybe even an Online Business.
But if you want to guarantee yourself something concrete where business skills are concern, my take is on Network Marketing. Regardless of what you have heard about this industry or how much money people have lost there, the biggest reason why I would recommend everyone to invest in a network marketing company is because of what you can learn there, and not because of how much money you can make (although it would be fantastic if you can make a living out of it). You see, network marketing companies are the one place where people will share their trade secrets FREELY. It is logical because in order for your upline to succeed, they will want you to succeed as well! Therefore, they will not hold back in teaching you the skills of a business person. Furthermore, the relatively low cost of investing in a network marketing company will amaze you for what you can learn for the price you are paying (a few bottles of vitamins and a business kit for the experience of a lifetime!) They will patiently train you in the attitudes and business skills you need to succeed in this industry. Basically, you can’t succeed in network marketing with an employee’s mindset. A network marketing company will train you in sales, communication, teamwork, leadership, positive thinking, self-improvement, time and money investment as well as the support of your upline as a personal coach and mentor. I dare say that even if you didn’t make a cent, but diligently went through their program, the skills you develop will last a lifetime. You can also develop skills by attaching yourself to an insurance agency. The job may be challenging, but those companies will also teach you the same skills above and maybe even gain a few tips on financial planning as well.
www.WiseBusinessUniversity.com | page 22
Network Marketing The most important thing of all besides a good learning attitude are the people you mix around with. This is very hard to swallow but imagine if you start talking to your five beer drinking, poker buddies that you want to go out on your own and make a fortune, what would they tell you? They would laugh their socks off before tearing your ego into a million pieces! At the heart of man lies jealousy. They don’t want to see the people around them succeed. If you succeed, it makes them look bad. They know in their hearts that they are going nowhere yet they embrace that lifestyle and pull you down with them. They will steal your dream, and rob you of your financial freedom if you are not careful! The key point to remember is: Only mix with Positive thinking people! The Network Marketing industry is the most friendly, helpful, supportive and motivational vehicel toward your success. And all the training and ispiration is free. Positive thinking is not wishful thinking. A wishful thinker is a dreamer who doesn’t take action. Positive thinking is backed by action and you will feel the energy of people who believe in you and support your dreams. If you hang out with ducks, you will quack… but if you hang out with eagles, you will soar! So start looking for people who will follow your vision or are willing to grow together with you. www.WiseBusinessUniversity.com | page 23
Believe in yourself So, start looking for people who will follow your vision or are willing to grow together with you.
Lastly, you must BELIEVE IN YOURSELF! The task of stepping out of your comfort zone may seem terrifying and many will not support your dream. They may offensive even if your dream. That be your parents or
even go on the you don’t share person may even your spouse.
Then you will be faced with the question, is my financial freedom worth the price I am paying now? Can I live another day with the same routine, the same job, the same paycheck or the same drudgery? If the answer is no, then take action NOW. Not tomorrow, you will wake up and forget about your dream. Write down your desire on a piece of paper and hang on tight to it everyday. Share it with someone positive and take that first step.
You won’t regret it. www.WiseBusinessUniversity.com | page 24
