			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Palatino Linotype,Book Antiqua,Palatino,serif;">Do you want to hire an organizer or coach, but can&#8217;t budgeted the expense of it?</span><span style="font-family: Palatino Linotype,Book Antiqua,Palatino,serif;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Palatino Linotype,Book Antiqua,Palatino,serif; color: #000000;"> Have you tried to follow &#8220;how-to&#8221; books, but never made it past the first chapter?</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;"> <span style="font-family: Palatino Linotype,Book Antiqua,Palatino,serif;">Do you watch hours of organizing shows on TV, but never apply what you learn?</span></span></h4>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Palatino Linotype,Book Antiqua,Palatino,serif;"><a href="http://organizeforideas.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/are-you-feeling1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-151" title="are you feeling" src="http://organizeforideas.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/are-you-feeling1.jpg" alt="are you feeling tired, overwhelmed, scattered" width="600" height="104" /></a></span></span><span style="font-family: Palatino Linotype,Book Antiqua,Palatino,serif;"><span style="color: #333333;">It&#8217;s not your fault.  I know you&#8217;re frustrated and I know it feels like you should have it all together.  Heck, chances are you&#8217;re the type of ambitious over-achiever that <em>looks</em> like they have it all together to everyone else, but you <strong>still struggle</strong> with organization.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: Palatino Linotype,Book Antiqua,Palatino,serif;">Maybe you&#8217;re the successful entrepreneur or business owner that runs everything ship-shape at the office, but home life is hanging by a thread &#8212; if clients <em>only knew</em> what your closet looks like! *gasp*</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Palatino Linotype,Book Antiqua,Palatino,serif;"><span style="color: #333333;">Or you could be the SuperMom type that keeps an impeccable home and runs family life with ease &#8230; but your plans to get your home office set-up and <strong>finally start</strong> that part-time business, always seem to get derailed and nothing ever becomes of your passion plans!</span></span></span></p>
<p>Again, I say, it&#8217;s not your fault.</p>
<h2>So you haven&#8217;t been able to get organized.  Why?</h2>
<p><strong>I&#8217;ll tell you what it&#8217;s NOT from:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #c40160;">It&#8217;s NOT from a lack of you trying.</span> You&#8217;ve worked really hard on this, I know.  Perhaps you&#8217;ve even enlisted the help of others.  <strong>You have tried</strong>.  At this point now it&#8217;s just embarrassing.  There&#8217;s definitely some guilt and shame coming up around that nagging internal voice of <em>&#8220;why can&#8217;t I get organized?  what&#8217;s wrong with me?&#8221;</em></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #c40160;">It&#8217;s NOT from a lack of information or exposure.</span> Magazines, TV shows, books, and internet info abound on pretty much any topic you can imagine.  You&#8217;ve read some of those magazines and books, you&#8217;ve oooh&#8217;d and aaaah&#8217;d over the &#8216;before&#8217; and &#8216;afters&#8217; on home makeover shows.  You definitely have absorbed some of that wisdom and knowledge.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #c40160;">It&#8217;s NOT from a lack of intelligence, will-power or some other genetic code.</span> Yes, <strong>some people are naturally more gifted</strong> in organizational skills, but we can all operate from both sides of our brain and increase our proficiency in any area.  <em>{personal note:  I always believe that I sucked at math.  I carried that with me throughout my formative years and avoided that skill like the plague, because I just believed I was bad at it.  Ironically, I went on to hold several job positions that demanded strong math skills and after some growing pains, I excelled at each one!  I just needed to learn that the muscle was there and start flexing it.}</em></li>
</ul>
<h2>OK.  Wonderful.  Now we know what it&#8217;s NOT.  But then what IS it from?</h2>
<p>There are 3 main components that you just haven&#8217;t had in the <strong>right combination.</strong></p>
<h3><span style="color: #c40160;">INTENTION + INFORMATION + IMPLEMENTATION = SOLUTION</span></h3>
<p>It&#8217;s like having an apple, caramels, and nuts &#8230; but NO Candy Apple!  The right combination of the 3 ingredients.  <strong>Consider this your Candy Apple!<br />
</strong></p>
<p>Your delicious treat is delivered through the <strong>Organize for IDEAS</strong> Program as you learn the <em>6 steps to attack clutter and transform your life.</em><strong> </strong></p>
<p>The O.F.I. Formula (or recipe *smile*) once learned and practiced can be applied to other challenges and areas of life.  It can be adapted to solve other problems.  This isn&#8217;t just an organizing formula &#8211; it&#8217;s a PROBLEM SOLVING formula!  A formula for reaching goals.</p>
<p>What you will learn by <em><strong>actively participating in a completing O.F.I</strong></em> (I cannot stress that enough) are skills that will serve you in all areas of your life.</p>
<p>So you haven&#8217;t had the right formula before.  You probably also haven&#8217;t had the right guidance before.  And by guidance I don&#8217;t mean hiring someone to come in and &#8220;do it for you.&#8221;  That&#8217;s not guidance, that&#8217;s not teaching and that&#8217;s not providing you with <strong>the real value that comes from being informed, inspired and empowered to take action!</strong></p>
<p>There&#8217;s nothing worse than feeling <strong>helpless</strong> and <strong>reliant</strong> on someone else to do the stuff we &#8220;suck&#8221; at, right?  I hate that!  I at least wanna know that I CAN do it and I understand it enough so I can CHOOSE to hire someone to do it for me if that&#8217;s what I want &#8211; <strong>but I don&#8217;t want to be backed into that corner and I don&#8217;t want you to be there either</strong>.  Nobody puts my babies in the corner!  <em>*yep, the corny Dirty Dancing reference was unavoidable</em></p>
<p>So you&#8217;ll be getting the <strong>right formula</strong>, <strong>complete guidance</strong> and continual <strong>inspiration and encouragement</strong> to follow-through.  And that is going to make a world of difference where it seems everything else has failed in the past.</p>
<h2>So are you ready to get cooking?<strong> </strong></h2>

<h2>What does it cost?</h2>
<h3>Well, what is it costing you right now?  Your disorganization I mean.  Is it:</h3>
<ul>
<li>clients</li>
<li>new business</li>
<li>a promotion</li>
<li>time</li>
<li>energy</li>
<li>respect</li>
<li>trust of others</li>
<li>self-worth</li>
<li>relationships</li>
<li>money</li>
<li>inner peace</li>
<li>satisfaction</li>
<li>self-respect</li>
<li>___________???</li>
</ul>
<p>You fill in the blank here, because only <strong>YOU know what it truly costs you to be disorganized.</strong></p>
<p>I can find studies to quote about how the average white collar worker <strong>wastes 8 hours per week on disorganization</strong>, or 15 different ways that disorganization cost money (i.e. late fees, missed opportunities for rebates, re-purchasing things you already have, purchasing organizing tools and gadgets that never get used, etc.)</p>
<p>But the real numbers, quotes, facts and findings are the ones that <em>you personally are experiencing in your life.</em> And I don&#8217;t know exactly what that looks or feels like specifically for you, but I have a pretty good idea and I understand that it can be painful.</p>
<p>Maybe for you it comes in the form of <strong>headaches</strong> or tight shoulder muscles.  Maybe you experience it when you <strong>snap in frustration</strong> at your spouse, co-worker or child.</p>
<p>It might be sleepless nights, hours spent feeling like you&#8217;re just <strong>spinning your wheels</strong> and not getting anything accomplished.  You may even know, deep down inside that it <strong>shows up in the form of excuses.</strong></p>
<p>Excuses for why you&#8217;re not following your dreams, or why you <strong>haven&#8217;t finished</strong> that book you&#8217;ve been writing, or why that business idea never took off.  <em>Excuses for staying small in your life.  Excuses to keep you hiding.</em> I totally get it.  I do.</p>
<p>OK.  *breathe*  Alright, enough with the deep stuff (I&#8217;m getting all emotional over here) let&#8217;s move towards the positives!</p>
<h2>All the yummy stuff you stand to gain by getting it together!</h2>
<ul>
<li>improved business / job performance</li>
<li>increased efficiency at work and home</li>
<li>pride and satisfaction</li>
<li>seen by others and self as reliable and trustworthy</li>
<li>confidence!</li>
<li>self-worth and self-respect</li>
<li>save time, money and energy</li>
<li>reduced stress / improved health (physical and mental)</li>
<li>mental clarity</li>
<li>sense of peace / accomplishment</li>
<li>achievement of goals and projects!</li>
<li>better use of current space</li>
<li>happier!</li>
<li>experience energy shifts in all areas of your life</li>
<li>things start to happen, new people, places and opportunities come into your life!</li>
</ul>
<h2>Okay, so we&#8217;ve got &#8230;</h2>
<h2><a href="http://organizeforideas.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/OK-so-weve-got1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-169" title="OK so we've got" src="http://organizeforideas.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/OK-so-weve-got1.jpg" alt="all the things we stand to gain" width="600" height="266" /></a>With so much to gain, let me ask you something:  Why haven&#8217;t you done this yet?</h2>
<p>Yeah, it&#8217;s a tough question and I don&#8217;t mean to be blunt, but really, you already <em>know</em> how much this would help you so what&#8217;s stopping you?</p>
<p>All the things we stand to gain are so great, <em>of course</em> we want them and would do anything to get them &#8230; But if it were that simple and easy then we&#8217;d already have them, right?  So there are things we&#8217;ll have to give up and let go of first and it&#8217;s likely that <strong>this is what&#8217;s been stopping you in past.</strong></p>
<h2>What do you stand to lose?</h2>
<ul>
<li>self beat-up and negativity</li>
<li>low expectations of self</li>
<li>attachment to stress and drama <em>(it&#8217;s common to attach self-worth to stress, i.e. &#8211; the more stressed you are the more important you are)</em></li>
<li>procrastination</li>
<li>being seen as the carefree / flaky type <em>(it&#8217;s hard for us to be seen differently, even if it&#8217;s what we say we want.  people are used to us being a certain way and although they may want the best for us, it&#8217;s hard for them to see us change even if it&#8217;s for the better.)</em></li>
<li>time / energy in the beginning <em>(we gotta be willing to invest a little extra now and it will pay off over and over again in the future)</em></li>
<li>smallness / incapability</li>
<li>&#8220;I can&#8217;t&#8221;  / &#8220;I don&#8217;t know how&#8221;</li>
<li>whining and complaining!</li>
</ul>
<p>Beware!  We are more attached to these than we think.  And although it seems counter-intuitive, I guarantee you can see how one or more of these things shows up in your life and <strong>holds you back from doing what you say you want</strong>.</p>
<p>So if you&#8217;re ready to make a change (and you probably would be here if you weren&#8217;t) then come along and find out more.  Learn <a title="How it works" href="http://organizeforideas.com/how-it-works/">How it Works</a>.</p>
