I am so excited to introduce AJ Vader the New York Times Best Selling author of the book Wealthy and Well Known (co-written with her husband Rory Vader.)  AJ lived, slept, and breathed her work. Until she didn't. This sudden change forced AJ to dig deep and identify her personal brand. She and Rory had a unique opportunity extended to them, with divine timing, that became their signature program - Brand Builders.I have been a big fan of AJ and Rory since I completed their program Brand Builders in 2021. Personal Brand AJ and Rory were working at the same business when one of her superiors came to her and notified her that her services were no longer needed; effective immediately. Those next days were tough as AJ did a lot of self reflection. Out of the blue a long time friend reached out to Rory and AJ for consultation on how to improve their brand and business. That business owner was so impressed they said “This is it! THIS is what you are meant to do!” They could have said no. They could have come up with every excuse in the book to pass on the idea. Instead Rory put in his notice to quit his job and AJ and Rory joined forces to build Brand Builders. Brand Builders Brand Builders is a program that guides and teaches members to identify their personal brands. They help people to identify their why which is really their who. I completed this program in 2021. I wanted to complete this program to see if there were any gaps in my business knowledge. Remember I have a teaching degree not a Masters in Business Administration! I will always be a life long learner. AJ pointed out that we are no longer paying for information, we are paying for application of that information. And through the 4 stages that they teach that's what the business owner learns. They value the community feedback, much like Organize 365®, and continue to iterate and provide results.  I am planning on attending one of their upcoming masterminds. The reason I am so ecstatic? I have found it difficult to find other women business owners who have shared their path to success. Women are running their homes (business #1), then their businesses (business #2), and lastly possibly business #3 if they are in active parenting. I can find all kinds of advice on growing a business from men. But what I see with Brand Builders is a more equal divide of men and women who participate. The mastermind will be led of course by AJ and Rory. It's such a great example for my women running businesses and myself. A woman who understands the unique struggles of being a mom, wife, and household manager.  Wealthy and Well Known This book was written to help the people AJ and Rory used to be. AJ reiterated many times that for $27 you too can learn everything I learned in 2021! Nothing is held back. Their desire is to change reader's lives with the transformation of their business and mindset and hopes that readers will share the book with others. The other driver behind the book is to find business owners that need additional help and guidance. They want to come alongside business owners and help to succeed.  I believe in this book so much that I purchased 150 copies to give to my team, mastermind attendees, certified organizers, and all female business owners that I have relationships. I hope you will consider purchasing the book or download the free audio book so you too can identify your personal brand and apply the information that you learn.

Hello to you listening in Blue Hill, Maine!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.Seth Godin, internationally known thinker, author and strategist posed a question: what's the difference between a protest and a project? [Seth's Blog]Protests let off steam. They organize people who might not show up by creating a moment in time where there's enough opportunity and social pressure that they participate.A protest sends a message.But almost every time, the very things that made a protest appealing mean that it fails to change much. That's because protests are momentary, temporary and urgent. The status quo is good at surviving protests. That's why it's still the status quo.But a PROJECT begins with a protest that ends with, “We'll be back tomorrow, and we're bringing our friends!”A PROJECT is impatiently persistent. It plays a longer game, one that can outlast the status quo.A PROJECT identifies the system and brings a systematic approach to changing that system.PROJECTS can seem boring when seen with a stopwatch, but they're powerful when measured with a calendar.Think about it: Nationwide we've marched at Hands Off in April, No Kings in June, Good Trouble in July, and in a few days Workers Over Billionaires on Labor Day. Other marches continue all over our country. We the People have become a Protest PROJECT!Story Prompt: What happens each time you show up to a protest, share your voice, and come back for more doing your part to upset the status quo? Write that story! And tell it out loud!You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us!

In this episode, I introduce you to Leslie P. who lives with her two dogs and has always been a renter.  Leslie was searching for podcasts about organization. It caught Leslie's attention when she heard one of the Monday Connections podcasts when we were talking about subjects related to those things she loves like demographics, sociology, and anthropology.  Leslie was always an organized person but once her mom had passed and she was in the role of executor, she just couldn't get out from under all the paper!  She needed help and was looking for organizational solutions. The year after her mom passed Leslie referred to as the “Year of quiet living.” She stayed in her mom's 55+ community and took time to figure out her next steps as she faced hurdles in NYC. She'd decided to go out on her own and no longer be a W2 employee.  When Leslie decided to move down to Florida and stay with her mom to take care of her, who had cancer, she grabbed most of her stuff and just left. Well all that stuff was up there still waiting for Leslie to deal with. When Leslie finally located some important paperwork under the couch pillows that she'd been looking for, she decided she had to get a system in place.  In the midst of the mess, she created a priority list like Maslow's hierarchy of needs. What was the most important first step. She then started to feel permission to put things in logical places like her socks by the front door. She started to task stack while her dogs were eating so she could do other things in her kitchen. And she now gives herself permission to honor the phase of life she is in which may mean the fact that she'll buy new tools, get rid of things, make mistakes, and allow new permissions. Like keeping two sets of china and hosting the holidays her way. She's also given herself permission to have a personal life outside of working and taking care of her dogs because she also had more free time now. And with systems in place she no longer has a need for a to do list AND she's not forgetting to do things.  Leslie opened the conversation saying she was not the Organize 365® typical demographic. I wanted to dig into that a little. Leslie uncovered how renting an apartment is kinda like PCS'ing. You move more frequently and need to start all over again. What does a day look like again? How is the drive to work? Can you keep the same medical providers? How does errand running look? Coffee shops? And we talked about things about renting like owning a car and having outdoor space. We also talked about cost opportunities and what that means for the quiet middle of society from each person's point of view. We both pointed out things the other had not considered.  Leslie also attended a Planning Day. Leslie had attended plenty of corporate organization/productivity events and they all paled in comparison. She was so impressed with how comprehensive and effective Planning Day was. It's frustrating for Leslie because she wishes she'd known sooner that a lof of people struggle with organization and for a long time she thought it was just her. Now she has less anxiety, perceived anxiety, as well as sleeping better, and has a healthier outlook.  Leslie's advice is, “Listen to Lisa because she is smart.” But all joking aside she added “Give yourself permission. You are the subject matter expert of your family, your life, home, of your goals, and your priorities. You get to decide. Trust yourself.”  EPISODE RESOURCES: The Sunday Basket® Planning Day Sign Up for the Organize 365® Newsletter  On the Wednesday podcast, I get to talk with members of the Organize 365­® community as they share the challenges, progress, missteps and triumphs along their organizing journey.

Growers Edge is revolutionizing agriculture by eliminating the biggest barrier to farmer innovation: risk aversion. With $30 million in funding raised in just 18 months under CEO Matthew Hansen's leadership, the company has evolved from a struggling crop insurance reseller into a multi-faceted agricultural technology platform. By providing downside protection for farmers trying new inputs, expanding into direct lending for equipment and land purchases, and leveraging proprietary data insights, Growers Edge has built three profitable business lines targeting a combined addressable market of over $400 billion. In this episode, Matthew shares his journey from private equity investor to hands-on operator, detailing the systematic turnaround that transformed the company from hundreds of thousands in revenue to millions, with some business lines growing at 800% annually. Topics Discussed: Growers Edge's evolution from crop insurance reseller to comprehensive agricultural risk management platform The three core business lines: input warranties, direct lending, and data services Matthew's transition from private equity investor to operational CEO The systematic approach to company turnaround and organizational restructuring Strategies for identifying and scaling what's working while eliminating what isn't Building a customer-focused organization versus a product-focused one Attracting top-tier talent during rapid growth phases GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Lead with guarantee, not data: Matthew discovered that "putting your money where your mouth is goes a lot further than charts and graphs at the farm gate." Instead of overwhelming farmers with analytics to convince them to try new inputs, Growers Edge simply guarantees the performance. This approach eliminates the primary barrier to adoption - risk aversion - and accelerates decision-making. B2B founders should consider how they can reduce perceived risk for customers rather than just providing more information to justify decisions. Organize around customers, not products: One of Matthew's first major changes was restructuring the organization around customer needs rather than product lines. He explains the critical difference: "A company that's organized around products has something and you're trying to basically force someone to buy it, whereas the company that's focused on customers knows the customer, sees the need and provides a solution." This customer-centric approach enables rapid iteration and market responsiveness that product-focused organizations struggle to achieve. Scale winners ruthlessly while exploring adjacencies: Rather than trying to fix everything, Matthew focused on "watering the winners" - identifying what was already working and doubling down with resources and talent. He then systematically explored adjacent opportunities that leveraged existing capabilities, like using warranty data to inform lending decisions. B2B founders should resist the urge to spread resources thin and instead concentrate on amplifying proven success while strategically expanding into related markets. Build acquisition as distribution strategy: Growers Edge's acquisition of Aquoso wasn't about technology or talent - it was about buying a go-to-market engine. Matthew compares it to "when Budweiser buys a craft beer company and when you plug it into that distribution network, you see sales of that craft beer skyrocket." The acquired company's existing relationships with 28 banks and farm credits provided immediate distribution for Growers Edge's data products, doubling that business since acquisition. Founders should consider acquisitions not just for capabilities, but as a way to instantly access established customer relationships and distribution channels. Talent attraction follows momentum, not compensation: Matthew was able to recruit executives who had built three unicorn fintech companies not through compensation alone, but because of "the positive direction of the business, the renewed vigor of the fundraising and the support of very credible, fantastic sponsors." Top talent gravitates toward companies with clear momentum and strong backing. B2B founders should focus on demonstrating tangible progress and securing credible investors as much for talent attraction as for capital.   //   Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe.  www.GlobalTalent.co   //   Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

Do you manage your time properly? In the craziness of normal everyday life, it's easy to lose track of time.Perhaps your son starts school at 8 am. You've got a work meeting at 10 a.m. Soccer practice begins at 3:15 in the afternoon. And, of course, there's church, piano lessons, and dozens of other activities that you and your family participate in.The question is, are you punctual or persistently late? Don't let tardiness become a habit. Figure out how much time you need to prepare and travel to your destination. Organize your schedule so that you arrive on time, even if hiccups occur along the way. By managing your time, you teach your son dependability—an important character trait that will help him thrive throughout life.For more encouragement and parenting advice, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.

In this episode of Organize & Cherish, we take a compassionate but clear-eyed look at the true cost of storage. Whether it's a rented unit or boxes in the garage, storage comes with more than a price tag—it requires our space, time, energy, and emotional bandwidth. We explore national statistics on storage usage, how clutter impacts our stress levels, and why postponing decisions might be costing more than we think. This episode offers both insight and a gentle nudge to revisit whether the things we're storing are still serving us.In this episode we talk about:The financial reality of paid storage and why the industry continues to grow The emotional toll and decision fatigue that comes with keeping things “just in case” How to evaluate whether your stored items are truly worth the space they takeMentioned in this Episode:The U.S. Self-Storage Industry Stats (2024) and average cost breakdown A UCLA study linking clutter to increased cortisol levels Other episodes in our storage seriesReview full show notes and resources at https://theorganizedflamingo.com/podcast Hosted on Acast.

Hello Virgo Season! Organize, purge, and declutter! But also....be kind, gentle and surrender the need for perfection. There's a lot of intense planetary influence happening. Remember your tried and true tools to help you manage.

It's another Q&A episode and we're diving into Sunday Baskets® and Friday Workboxes® and how to make it all flow together because it was asked in many different ways. The Sunday Basket® and Friday Workbox® can support a lot of operations, this episode was so great for exploring multiple ways to run your home or business.  As a Household Manager As a household manager it is easy to get multiple Sunday Baskets® going. Multiple people asked how to manage them all and make them work together.  Honestly once Planning Day focuses on both home and work at the same time this will be more seamless. You need to take roughly 90 min to three hours to fully process your Sunday Basket®, ideally on Sunday afternoon. This opens the opportunity to go through other Sunday Baskets®.  I have some that I process monthly and there maybe some actionable papers that move to my weekly Sunday Basket®. I have active papers in Sunday Baskets® for trips I'm planning, Abby's wedding, and whatever else. The final thing that pulls all the Sunday Baskets® and Friday Workboxes® is the weekly tear sheet where it all comes together, it's one plan for the week, including home, work, and sometimes homeschooling priorities.  There was also a nurse who wrote in about how to best utilize the Friday Workbox for a service line she's in charge of. She's a blue slashpocket person; a worker. She doesn't own the business but there's still a lot of responsibility.  I offered ideas on how to involve the rest of her team, establish checklists to keep them on track and understand the time it takes for that checklist. I offered color coding ideas to best communicate with her team and have information at her team's fingertips. I offered similar ideas to a mama who homeschools.  As a “CEO” role There was a minister and a direct sales audience member that asked about how to best use the Friday Workboxes® because they don't see themselves as running a business or a CEO.  If you are in direct sales or in charge of an organization, it's like you are the CEO. As a CEO you need lead generation that produces purple work with deadlines and such. Once you complete those deadlines, you get paid which is your admin/green work. And in that mix is the people who make it happen wish is your blue slash pocket work. There are all kinds of practical applications for whatever line of work you do! This episode was chalked full!! For the minister we talked about two Friday Workboxes®. Once for her and one for the church. For the church workbox, pink can be upcoming projects in the works like a new addition to the building that hasn't been finalized or ideas for outreach during Christmas or Easter. The purple work is the projects that are set in motion and repeat events like how Organize 365® does the planning days routinely. And then of course staff is blue and a church is a business so green is admin, payroll, and any other financial responsibilities.  Her personal workbox could have pink work that is all about her sermons or pink work could be future plans she's exploring, and purple work can be things she's personally responsible for, blue the people or organizations she'll need to accomplish the project or idea, and of course green for money.  You get the idea.  The Entrepreneurship Journey  Got junk? We had a great conversation about the mindset of the guys who opened 1-800-GOT-JUNK. And I was able to offer some advice to someone looking to open a special needs daycare. We talked about a few books and what I learned from them as far as my skill sets, who I should hire, and how a visionary and implementor work together to run a company. Organize 365® is what it is today because of what I've learned along the way…I want to always be learning.  EPISODE RESOURCES: The Sunday Basket® The Friday Workbox® Sign Up for the Organize 365® Newsletter  Did you enjoy this episode?

In this episode, I introduce you to Verna R. and her husband are empty nesters.  You may remember Verna and her daughters coming on the podcast in 2020. It was the first timeI got to talk to a whole family who was using the Organize 36® systems. And the second time just Verna and I talked about her organization journey. Verna was referred to Organize 365® by her daughters to get organized since it didn't come naturally to her. Her mother and mother in law were natural organizers so Verna appreciated systems and organization but none of the systems she tried stuck until she tried Organize 365®.  In 2002-2004, Verna had cancer. Once she finished treatment she decided it was time to hire an organizer because she needed help due to low energy from recovery. Yes, I pointed out that the organizer can help with all the visible work. And the second thing I pointed out was that over the span of you get a home, then probably add a spouse, maybe some kids. As we get older, the complexities of daily life build on each other and there is no break time to reset for middle school years, Sports years, or heaven forbid a time with an illness. Everything still had to get done. But Verna had been sick. A professional organizer help in the short term but Verna desired a system for a lifetime. The last point I made was that the organizer cannot deal with the invisible work. Verna agreed with me and we talked about offloading to the external brain, the Sunday Basket®.  I added that as our executive functions decline, starting as early as your 30's or 40's, the calendar with the external brain and planning helped to prolong the speed of decline. How can we do that? Have a system like the Productive Home Solution™ that provides training!! And we all want to be independent as long as we can!  Verna shared her three purple slash pockets are for making gifts, her house, and volunteer work. She uses planning day to process those activities. She also credited her husband, Bruce, to being a good partner and sharing the daily tasks. We had a little side discussion about retirement and how much work the wife gains once her husband retires. I'm making Greg think about what he's gonna do with all his time once he retires. Bruce kept himself busy for a couple more years after he retired. Now they are teaching together in Nepal from time to time and even have started to bring their grandchildren.  Verna has more calmness and purpose. She took the time to really observe herself. She paid attention to what she was saying yes to and directly then what that meant she was saying no to. She extends herself a lof grace knowing she can't change the past and really loves who she is today. She's looking forward to setting a S.M.A.R.T.I.E. goal for her storage and getting her grown kids stuff out of her storage. That will free up some of her cognitive load to think about what their future living situation may look like.  Verna's advice is, “Notice what you do. Pay attention. It will show you what you value and what you prioritize.”  EPISODE RESOURCES: The Sunday Basket® The Productive Home Solution® Home Planning Day Sign Up for the Organize 365® Newsletter  On the Wednesday podcast, I get to talk with members of the Organize 365­® community as they share the challenges, progress, missteps and triumphs along their organizing journey.

“I am more interested, as a fellow sister and teacher, in the student learning the skill, more than I am in having a recurring membership program.” I knew 10 years ago that I wanted to offer lifetime access to this system so women everywhere could get bored,  bored enough that she has to wrestle with what she is uniquely created to do. This was a webinar we did as a one off to talk about the Completed Home Organization Bundle. The feedback from viewers was that this webinar, with myself, Virginia, and Tanya, helped them the most to understand what is in the bundles, how much time it will take, and the results to expect during the process.  Big News Well we kicked off the webinar letting our international followers know that they can now purchase the Productive Home Solution because the workbook is going digital!  The Productive Home Solution™ is your 52 week road map on how to get organized. The introductory pricing for lifetime access to The Complete Home Organization Bundle will not last forever so take advantage of the deal we are offering. As one person commented it was a little out of her price range but it was worth it for her sanity! And thanks to PayPal, when you check out there is a way to break it down into a payment plan. How is this different from all the other organizational offerings? The biggest difference most people notice is that this is an all encompassing system from organizing to planning to the invisible work we are all doing. It's a plan. You can have a gym membership but if no one shows you how to use the equipment than what good is the access to the gym?  A couple things that I am really proud of is that I teach these systems from a woman's point of view. I have been there. Done that.  And I have been in a plethora of homes to see all different family dynamics. And of course there's the fact that I was a teacher. I understand that everyone learns differently and I try to cater to all learning styles in each system. And the best part of the system? It follows the energies of the year. And we reset every 120 days with Planning Day. This is a system that will teach you how to organize your space your way! What is the worst that could happen? You could get stuck. You likely will but Tanya runs a live club every Thursday that you can always attend. It's a welcoming space to ask questions or share where you are getting stuck. And each system comes with community access through the app. It's great to connect with other people in the same phase as you. People share tips all the time and talk about how they solved an issue they were having. And if you do get stuck, we encourage everyone to push through. When you make this kind of investment, you will get the work done because you have really thought about this purchase! I paid for a spendy weight loss program and you better believe I started making better food choices. And even though my family may not be on board with trying to get healthier, they are watching. And the woman usually sets the tone for the house. So like me with better food choices (which then my family is also benefitting) you too with getting your home organized. And at the end of the day it's for you! As women, our houses are holding us back. The clutter gives us anxiety. I truly believe the Sunday Basket® is the solution to women's mental health to lighten the cognitive load of all of our invisible work. Organization solves the root problem for women's mental health, their homes. Virginia shared she now has to hide how productive she really is from her friends and Tanya shared that she no longer feels behind on everything. Organization has always been a part of my life and it has opened doors for me and my family from consistent babysitting gigs, to making friends, to growing Organize 365®. Each time I have gained time and capacity, I have leveled up and I want the same for you. I want you to get more time back so you can wrestle with what you are uniquely created to do. This is the time to figure out who you are and who you are becoming!   EPISODE RESOURCES: The Sunday Basket® The Productive Home Solution The Complete Home Organization Bundle Sign Up for the Organize 365® Newsletter  Did you enjoy this episode?

This Podcast Is Episode 641, And It's About A Week In The Life Of A Profitable Contractor- Habits That Pay Off If you're a small construction business owner, you know what it feels like to be busy but not consistently profitable. You're running from job sites to supply runs to client meetings, answering calls at night, and still wondering where the money went at the end of the month. Here's the truth we see every day as construction bookkeeping specialists: The most successful contractors aren't just working harder—they've built weekly habits and systems that keep the business running while they build. In this post, we'll show you what a streamlined, systemized week looks like in a small construction business. Whether you're a solo contractor or leading a small crew, these routines can help you stay organized, improve your cash flow, and protect your profit. Why Weekly Habits Matter in Construction When you build consistency into your week, everything improves: You stop forgetting to invoice or follow up You get paid faster Jobs stay on schedule Clients feel informed (and complain less) You catch issues before they become emergencies The goal isn't to overload your week—it's to create a rhythm that keeps your business stable and growing, without requiring you to do everything at the last minute. Monday: Plan the Work, Work the Plan Morning – Weekly Kickoff Start your week with a short job planning session. Whether you're solo or managing a team, ask: What jobs are active this week? What phase is each job in? What materials, subs, or permits are needed? What deadlines are coming up? Use a whiteboard, spreadsheet, or project management tool (like Buildertrend or Trello). Assign daily goals to each job to ensure that nothing falls behind. Afternoon – Estimate & Lead Follow-Up Block off time to follow up on: New leads that came in over the weekend Outstanding estimates Questions from potential clients Even 30–60 minutes of focused follow-up keeps your pipeline warm and prevents "ghosted" leads. Pro tip: Utilize email templates for follow-ups and store lead information in a centralized location, such as a Google Sheet or CRM. Tuesday: Tidy the Books & Track Job Costs Morning – Track Labor & Materials Take 30–60 minutes to: Log hours worked so far (your crew's and yours) Review any receipts from the job site Match expenses to job names This provides a real-time view of how each job is performing against budget, enabling you to address issues before they escalate. Afternoon – Vendor Check-Ins Call or check with your suppliers: Confirm deliveries Handle any backorders Pay invoices on time (if possible to avoid late fees) Building good vendor relationships keeps your jobs on track and your business in good standing. Bookkeeper's tip: If you send us your receipts and labor updates every week, we can update the job cost reports and alert you if anything appears to be incorrect. Wednesday: Build and Communicate All Day – Focus on Production Mid-week is often when contractors are on-site all day. But don't go silent on your clients or back office. End of Day – Client Touchpoints Send a quick project update to each active client: What was completed today or this week? What's scheduled next? Are there any delays or updates they should be aware of? A 2-minute message can prevent hours of frustration or confusion. Systematize it: Use a weekly client update template or a shared project board where clients can check their progress. Thursday: Invoice, Collect, and Prepare for the Weekend Morning – Invoicing & Payments Every Thursday, review: What milestones were completed this week? What invoices should go out today? What payments are overdue? Send invoices promptly—don't wait until the end of the month. Progress billing maintains a healthy cash flow and reduces the risk of late payments. Afternoon – Financial Catch-Up Take another 30 minutes to: Send payment reminders Record payments received Pay subs (if applicable) Review your upcoming expenses Automation tip: Utilize QuickBooks, Joist, or another invoicing tool that automatically sends reminders. Friday: Review & Reflect Morning – Job Wrap-Up or Prep Use Friday mornings to: Finalize the week's job work Clean up job sites Prepare materials or tools for Monday Afternoon – Weekly Financial Review Block 30 minutes to review: Profit & Loss report Cash on hand vs upcoming bills Job profitability (are we still on budget?) Even a basic check-in provides insight into how your business is performing, not just how you perceive it's doing. What to ask your bookkeeper: Are we on budget for our active jobs? Did we hit our revenue and profit targets this week? Any unusual spending patterns? Weekend: Rest & Reset (Or Catch Up, Smartly) Use the weekend to rest—or if you need to catch up, keep it light: Review new lead inquiries Clean up receipts or paperwork Organize tools or truck inventory Try not to overload your Saturdays. You're running a business, not burning yourself out. Set boundaries: Let clients know you're unavailable on Sundays unless it's an emergency. Protect your peace. Recap: Weekly Rhythm for a Profitable Contractor Day Primary Focus Monday: Job planning & lead follow-up Tuesday: Job costs, receipts, vendor check-ins Wednesday: On-site work & client updates Thursday: Invoicing, collections, and financial review Friday: Job wrap-up, P&L check, planning Weekend: Light admin or complete rest This weekly flow doesn't have to be perfect. The point is to build structure into your week so you're not always reacting—you're leading. Why This Works When contractors follow a simple weekly routine: Jobs run smoother Clients are happier You get paid faster You make decisions based on facts, not gut feelings You work fewer nights and weekends You don't need to be a spreadsheet wizard or tech genius. You need systems that fit your workflow and a few key habits to stay consistent. And if you need help setting that up, that's where I come in. Need Help Building a Weekly System That Works? As construction bookkeeping specialists, we help small contractors: Automate financial tasks Track job costs easily Set up smart invoicing and reminders Build habits that protect profit Let's chat and streamline your week, so you can get back to building what you love.

In this episode, I introduce you to Devin R. who is married with three children; two are bonus kids that came with marrying her husband. They have 2 dogs and two cats. In 2018, Devin was looking for help to get organized. She was mowing her lawn when I caught her ear mentioning that I lived in the Cincinnati area. Then Devin's life hit rock bottom with her work insinuating that she was not a good teacher and then she and her husband decided to separate. She could resonate with my story from 2012. Devin looked at her life and decided she needed to get control of her life. Once she grabbed a bag and gathered all the papers she felt better. It was like since her physical chaos was getting under control her mental chaos could be addressed. We had a great discussion that all marriages go through rough patches and Devin was vulnerable to share a little bit about her marriage and how they are reconciling after about three years of separation. She shared how her mindset has shifted about organization. She looks around and asks what do I have? Why is it here? And do we even need it? She remembers making her daughter's lunch recently and didn't have to trip over the cat to get the things for the lunch. It was all in the lunch making station.  Devin had tried other systems but they never felt like life long solutions to her. The podcast and videos work as reminders to keep up with the systems.  They are like a life partner to the systems. And they help with the cognitive load. We talked about the Sunday Basket® and how when you have Prospective Memory and you write something down it's cognitive off loading to free up your working memory.  This is something Devins struggles with because of MS but lets her neurologist know at each visit how much the Sunday Basket® helps and how it could help others with her diagnosis. And then we got into the weeds a little bit about qualitative studies that I want to do based off the information from my (unbeknownst to myself when I started) unofficial quantitative or phenomenological study AKA the Wednesday Transformation episodes.  Devin has been on her organizational journey for about three years now. She's coped with her MS diagnosis, separated from her husband, and is entering the coaching years of parenting. Because of all her systems, she has more time to really invest in her daughter and being present. She really wishes she knew someone taught organization sooner and found Organize 365® sooner.  It takes time to get organized. Devin pointed out that she values the Power of Positivity episode. “Life is not happening to you, it's happening for you.”  With the right attitude you can apply positivity to all journeys, not just organization journeys, no matter how insurmountable they seem. Devin started working upholstering for her sister after she left teaching. She shared how she got the Friday Workbox®, worked on it with Monique at a paper retreat and how it helps her to stay organized on customers' jobs.  I got to offer a little advice on how she could slowly incorporate a part time worker for her to get back some CEO time. A good balance of responsibilities is to spend 80% on production and 20% on admin and lead generation.  With the addition of a part time worker, she could add another client and make money to cover the hours of that part time worker. Devin's advice is, “Jump in one step at a time.

In our chat, Jason unpacks his brilliant approach to using AI as a "thinking partner," sharing frameworks that help entrepreneurs unlock their own genius while maintaining authentic human connection.Key points discussed include:* Treat AI as a creative thinking partner to enhance your own unique thinking, not replace it.* Organize your unique expertise so AI can communicate authentically in your voice and on your behalf.* Use discernment to ensure AI deepens your critical thinking and fosters genuine human connection.Listen to the podcast to find out more.Innovabiz Substack is a reader-supported publication.

So much has changed since our last chat, especially with the explosion of artificial intelligence into our daily lives. Jason, who has always been a master of strategic frameworks for entrepreneurs, has pivoted to meet this moment head-on, providing creators and thought leaders with a powerful new way to approach AI—not as a mysterious black box, but as a genuine creative partner.Our conversation was a refreshing dose of practical wisdom. We moved past the hype and the fear, digging into how we, as entrepreneurs, can form a real partnership with these new tools. Jason's insights are all about shifting our perspective to build sustainable, human-centred businesses in an age where technology is more powerful than ever.The "Thinking Partner" Paradigm: Escaping the "Prompt and Pray" TrapMany of us have experienced what Jason brilliantly calls the "prompt and pray" approach. You ask a generic question, you get a generic, robotic answer, and you walk away disappointed. Jason argues that this is fundamentally the wrong way to look at it. The most critical shift we can make is to stop treating AI like a vending machine and start treating it as a "thinking partner."Think of it like Tony Stark in his lab with his AI, Jarvis. It's a dynamic, back-and-forth collaboration. The AI isn't there to replace your thinking; it's there to enhance it, to provide feedback, to pull resources, and to help you execute your vision. This simple change in mindset opens up a world of creative possibilities and moves us from being passive users to active collaborators.Your Knowledge, Supercharged: Structuring Your Intellectual Property for AIJason works with countless experts who feel they are "sitting on this goldmine" of knowledge and intellectual property they've developed over years, but they struggle to leverage it effectively. The true magic happens when you teach AI to think like you, and that starts with organizing your unique expertise into frameworks that the AI can understand and apply.When you provide the AI with the context of your specific business—your vision, your values, your ideal clients, and your core ideas—it can generate assets that are genuinely in your voice and based on your expertise. Instead of getting a generic blog post, you get one that reflects your unique perspective, all because you took the time to structure your knowledge for your new thinking partner.The Art of the AI Conversation: From Simple Prompts to Iterative DialogueA true partnership isn't about single commands; it's about an ongoing conversation. Jason shared a fantastic process for moving beyond simple prompts. You can engage the AI in an iterative dialogue, asking it to analyze a successful piece of content, deconstruct its framework, and then help you apply that template to your own ideas.This turns AI into a powerful brainstorming tool. You can ask it for ten different ways to approach a problem, have it outline potential solutions, and then refine those ideas together. It's in this back-and-forth exchange that the real value emerges, saving you cognitive energy and helping you make connections you might have missed on your own.Keeping AI Honest: Strategies for Critical and Discerning CollaborationOne of the most valuable, and often overlooked, pieces of advice Jason shared is how to handle AI's built-in agreeableness. These tools are designed to be helpful, which means they often won't challenge a bad idea. To counteract this, you need to be a discerning collaborator and build in your own checks and balances.Jason suggests clever tactics, like taking an idea to one AI, then taking its response to a different AI for a critique. It's like getting a second opinion. You can also give the AI specific criteria and ask it to assess your ideas against them, forcing it to be more analytical. This ensures that you remain the final, critical judge of the output.Deeper Connections, Not Deeper Fakes: Using AI to Enhance Human RelationshipsCounterintuitively, AI can be a powerful tool for strengthening human connection. Jason shared a brilliant example of writing an emotionally charged email, then asking AI to rewrite it using the principles of "Nonviolent Communication." The result is a message that achieves its goal without burning bridges.This highlights the importance of using AI responsibly and transparently. Jason recommends establishing a clear "AI policy" for your business, letting your audience know how you use the technology. This builds trust and reinforces that, while you may use AI to assist your process, your expertise and your commitment to human connection remain at the core of everything you do.The Dawn of the Agent: What's Next for AI and Human CreativityLooking ahead, we discussed the exciting emergence of AI "agents"—proactive assistants that can manage complex tasks, from tracking client progress to suggesting follow-ups. Imagine having a personal Jarvis that truly helps you manage your day so you can focus on high-impact, creative work.As these tools become more integrated into our lives, Jason's final piece of advice is perhaps the most important. The number one skill we must all cultivate is discernment. We need to understand how these tools work, where their strengths and weaknesses lie, and how to use them wisely to amplify our own unique human genius.In Summary: Jason Van Orden provides a clear, strategic roadmap for entrepreneurs to embrace AI thoughtfully. By treating AI as a thinking partner, structuring our unique knowledge, engaging in iterative dialogue, and always applying a layer of human discernment, we can leverage this technology to not only scale our businesses but also deepen our human connections.The Buzz - Our Innovation RoundHere are Jason's answers to the questions of our innovation round. Listen to the conversation to get the full scoop.* Most innovative use of AI to enhance human relationships – Reframing emotionally charged emails using the principles of Nonviolent Communication before you send them.* Best thing to integrate AI and human connection – Using it as a non-judgmental sounding board for personal matters, like working through struggles or getting advice on how to approach difficult family conversations.* Differentiate by leveraging AI – Developing a deep level of discernment to understand how AI works so you can use it responsibly and effectively.ActionVisit jasonvanorden.com/ai to download a free workshop from Jason.

He started back in 2005 when the medium was still a niche, experimental frontier. This isn't just a career detail; it gives him a unique historical perspective and an "OG" status that is incredibly rare and authentic. He didn't just join a trend; he helped build the industry.* He Made a Conscious Choice to Niche Down for Impact, Not Just Profit. At one point, he had a very successful, broad business in the general "internet marketing" space. He made a deliberate decision to move away from that to focus more narrowly on helping course creators and thought leaders. This reflects a deep integrity and a desire to do more meaningful, focused work, even if it meant stepping away from a wider, perhaps more lucrative, audience.* His Frameworks are for Life, Not Just Business. Jason applies his systematic, framework-based thinking to "life design" as a whole. He doesn't see a hard line between building a business and building a life. This holistic approach is compelling because it shows his work is not a set of marketing tactics, but a complete philosophy for living with intention.Ready to move beyond just creating content and start creating real connection?In the Age of AI, the future belongs to those who can amplify human wisdom.

For José Vasquez, leading Common Defense, a national nonprofit comprised of 200,000 veterans who share progressive values, is an extension of the oath he took as a 17 year old enlistee. He swore to and has remained steadfast in defending the Constitution and advocating for the well-being of those who serve. He and a cohort of activist vets launched Common Defense in 2016 to provide a civic engagement platform for veterans who are anti-racist, pro-democracy and anti-authoritarianism. Collectively they are advancing progressive policymaking in state legislatures, on Capitol Hill and in the White House. Common Defense organizes around the issues that resonate deeply for its members, including climate change and healthcare. A current campaign demands accountability for the president's dismantling of the Veteran's Administration, which is putting the health of 16.5 million veterans at risk. On this episode of Power Station, I speak with José about his life's journey, from joining the Army, to living out his family's dream of a college education, to his evolving views about our military and his decision to organize his fellow veterans to use their voices for the common good. Hear him and share!  

Send us a textEvery so often, the Lord gives us a small glimpse of His boundless “majesty and power” (Doctrine and Covenants 88:47) through sweeping revelations to His prophets. Doctrine and Covenants 88 is such a revelation—one about light and glory and kingdoms that can make our earthly cares seem insignificant by comparison. Even if we can't grasp all of what the Lord is teaching us, we can at least sense that there's far more to eternity than what we now comprehend. Of course, the Lord didn't speak of these grand mysteries to intimidate us or make us feel small. In fact, He promised, “The day shall come when you shall comprehend even God” (verse 49; italics added). Perhaps it was to that lofty end that the Lord urged His Saints in Kirtland to form the School of the Prophets. “Organize yourselves,” He said. “Prepare every needful thing; and establish … a house of God” (verse 119). For it is within God's holy house—and in our homes—that He can, more than anywhere else, lift our vision beyond the mortal world, “unveil his face unto [us],” and prepare us to “abide a celestial glory” (verses 68, 22).Support the show!Become a "Patron Saint"!www.patreon.com/SaintsintheSouth(The thoughts, ideas, and beliefs we express on this channel do not officially represent The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  For additional information or official statements, please visit the website below.  The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/?lang=eng)Support the show

The world is getting ready for back to school and then we find ourselves in the 10 most productive weeks of the year. Since you will naturally be in high productivity energy, it makes sense to walk you through what to expect in The Productive Home Solution™. Are you ready to have your home organized in 52 weeks? Most people believe organization is a learnable skill and yet aren't organized. Why? They need a plan and here it is from my last webinar. Fall  We kick off fall with Planning Day at the end of August. That sets us up for tackling your personal spaces for 5 weeks. Once you get your closet, bathroom, and bedroom organized you will feel the decision fatigue lessen and that will be by the beginning of Oct. Then you'll move onto your spaces you use for your household administration. And you'll tackle some of the more invisible spaces like your phone, email, computer, passwords, and etc.  I'll invite you to do the Holiday Blitz and new to The Productive Home Solution™ is a couple weeks devoted to all things holiday like wrapping paper, gifts, and cards. You'll end the year in your storage areas.  Winter Now that almost 120 days have passed, it's time to have Planning Day again at the end of December. This 120 days focus around communal spaces because you will have the highest amount of organization energy during this time of the year. You roll into the kitchen for three weeks. Now each section has a way to fast track. If you find it's a section you don't want to do or don't need as much time allotted, there are fast track tasks so you can possibly get organized in 9 months instead of a year. I've added a week to do family memories. And you all get to do taxes with me in February during the Superbowl. Come on, just try it with me!! Next you'll think about and organize your spaces that guests would be, like, your spare bedroom or bathroom or your family/living room. We finish this section with information about having a garage sale, spring break (breaking down a meaty project) and your on the go spaces like your car or travel strategies. Summer It starts with another Planning Day on Mother's Day weekend. Then we focus on outside spaces. There's a Memorial Day Blitz and then we spend 2 weeks on each of the areas of the four binders from The Paper Solution®. Now even if you don't have the resource binders, there are still activities to complete. You can expect the Back to School Blitz and that is not just for school aged children. Then there's a deep dive into the Sunday Basket®-the foundation for you as the household manager.  You end it all with Embrace On Demand. I recently heard in two podcasts that these women had “free time” and you know what they did? They took care of their homes, they nested.   In the 50's the marketing firms started to put these lies in our heads of what our homes should look like. And if they looked like that, it meant that the homemaker was organized. LIES! Like I have said for years, our homes are holding us back. The two women in the podcasts one got their homes organized and then decided what to do next in life and the other lady did it so she could get focused on being productive. This is your time to get your home in order so you can focus on what you are uniquely created to do. Don't know what that is? With all your extra time you can take yourself through Embrace and figure that out! It's time for self care, caring for yourself. “First things first, I'm first.” You must align your home environment for the phase of life you are in for the goals you have for yourself and family.  EPISODE RESOURCES: The Sunday Basket® The Paper Solution® The Productive Home Solution The Complete Home Organization Bundle Rewatch Webinar Webinar Worksheet Sign Up for the Organize 365® Newsletter  Did you enjoy this episode?

In this episode, I introduce you to Janet B. She's married with one son, a rescue dog, and 5 chickens. Janet found Organize 365® when she was looking for podcasts about organization. Janet has always been fairly organized but is always looking to learn any new nugget about organization and had her sights set on productivity now! Janet listened to the podcast for five years before she made her first purchase. Janet tried to DIY a few products like other listeners have shared. And that's ok. It's like you are almost trying before making the investment and I totally understand that. She finally made the purchase and then really understood how to better utilize her Sunday Basket®. The purchase wasn't just the Sunday Basket®. She dove into The Complete Home Organization Bundle!!  She just loves that everything has a place now! There have been a few moments when Janet realized the impact of The Complete Home Organizing Bundle. Her husband was looking for a title and needed it quickly! Easy! Janet decided to figure out how to use her self-cleaning oven feature. Easy! And when her clothes washer had an issue she got out the manual and discovered there was an app that could diagnose what was wrong with it, and she got it working! Easy! All the information was at her fingertips because she took the time to fill out the binders from The Paper Solution.  Janet is a CPA and loves numbers!!  Janet is currently a full time blogger explaining taxes in a way everyday people can understand. I love this because we start doing something we like, we get good at it, and then the complexities of business taxes enter and that is just not easily understood! We had a good conversation about AI and what is it's place in the world. AI may be able to suggest a system but there is no person involved to support you on your journey or be able to suggest tweaks for your individual situation. Janet started another business where she is acting as a Daily Money Manager. And that led to her becoming a certified organizer to help her clients even more with superior products at their fingertips and organization of all their important paperwork by her! And then we had a really great discussion about natural disasters and being ready. Janet admitted she used to have filing cabinets and paper was her weak area. Now her paper is organized and she loves getting people prepared within their binders to be able to grab them quickly when needed. When natural disasters happen, and you are not a part of them, that should be your heads up to check your information organization. I want you to ask yourself “If that was me, am I ready?” At Organize 365®, when a natural disaster happens, and a person purchases The Paper Solution®, we will be making a donation to the Red Cross.  Because we want people to be prepared or use that event as a reminder to keep working towards completing your binders.  Janet now has the Friday Workbox® too and said she is more productive because she's learned how to manage her mail and email better so she's not constantly breaking her focus. We had a great email/productivity chat. And now she has more time and space to grow her Daily Money Manager business and network. Productivity doesn't mean everything is done 100% at all times. Janet's advice is, “Go all in because if you start thinking you just want a little piece here and there, you're gonna want it all! You will realize all of the pieces work together.”  EPISODE RESOURCES: The Sunday Basket® The Paper Solution® The Complete Home Organization Bundle Home Planning Day Sign Up for the Organize 365® Newsletter  On the Wednesday podcast, I get to talk with members of the Organize 365­® community as they share the challenges, progress, missteps and triumphs along their organizing journey.
