What have you thought of this series so far? At the beginning of this episode, I recapped economic stages 1-5. It's important to understand them and how to advance if you'd like. But also if you find that your economic stage was once 4 and you are back to 1, you are not alone. It can happen to anyone and honestly I think all of America is in stage one, trying to reduce expenses to match their income. The economy changed which affected our small business AKA our homes. It's important to understand and own the economic impact our home has on the global economy. Thinking about stage 6 should prompt you to look at your expenses and set expectations for what you can expect financially.   Stage 6: A business bigger than yourself; but there's no playbook If you choose to go to stage 6, get ready for a life long journey of development. You may make some expensive mistakes or have some hires not work out.  In stage 6, your business becomes bigger than just you and your household budget. You are looking at your budget and realizing you can increase your expenses to (in the long run) make more money. It's time to start interviewing people, explore their uniquenesses, and hire accordingly. And get ready for your income to decrease. In growing your business and getting structure in place, just know you will likely have little to no income for about 3-5 years. I wish there was a playbook that could have warned me. Take heart, in America, the 4 positions that can provide exponential wealth are doctor, lawyer, sales, and business owner. So if you are embarking on stage 6, there's a lot of income potential due to all the extra help you have in your company now.  Stage 6: Taxes And with structuring your company, you will become a W2 employee, at least that is how I set up Organize 365®. My income was capped by my salary. I have learned more about the IRS than you ever wanted to know. There will be new tax implications on your business's income. And your business income is not solely yours anymore. Due to the structure you put in place, you will pay yourself, your employees AND employment taxes.  You get to learn about human resources and you'll be where benefits come from! Remember, life long journey of learning and development.  Stage 6: It's so fun! Even if I had known the growing pains I could expect, no one could have stopped me. I love having a company, a team, and leading them!!  Details aren't my strength and it makes me really happy to hire those tasks out. It's time to get your home in order to give way to the time and attention you need to direct towards your business. Get that home train running smooth to allow capacity at work so you can really make an impact.

Your pain is your growth, in scorpion's clothing. I guess what I'm encouraging you to do, is to work with your pain and embrace your suffering. Strange advice right? To actually work with your sadness or fear. And maybe—if you're seriously ready to operate at the highest level of consciousness and outright heroism—STAY IN the difficulty as long as you possibly can to get maximum growth and benefit from it. Yes, I could talk about meditation and reflection and bodywork and journaling and sweat lodges and nature healing as practices to do what I'm suggesting you should do.  And I share all of the tools that have worked best for me in The Wealth Money Can't Buy where I offer The 8 Forms of Wealth model that has transformed the lives of my clients for two decades. You really should read the book, if you haven't as yet. Yet all I'm saying with such faith in your greatness and belief in your gifts is that hard times really do make powerful humans. FOLLOW ROBIN SHARMA:InstagramFacebookTwitterYouTube

Benjamin Franklin's "Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today" sounds simple, yet for many, it's a monumental challenge. Well-intentioned individuals often find their to-do lists perpetually lingering, not from laziness or a lack of motivation, but from a more complex, underlying struggle. This persistent inaction isn't a matter of willpower; it often stems from deeper issues like fear of failure, perfectionism, or an overwhelming sense of responsibility.To better understand what lies at the core of procrastination and how to overcome it, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with psychologist, coach, and author Dr. Patricia Zurita Ona, aka Dr. Z. Dr. Z's research goes beyond the surface of procrastination and perfectionist behaviors. In her book, Acceptance and Commitment Skills for Perfectionism and High-Achieving Behaviors, she lifts the veil of procrastination demonstrating that it is not laziness but the fear of failure that inhibits people from completing tasks.WANT MORE SOUND IDEAS FOR DEEPER THINKING?

Guest post by Michael Watkins who is a professor of leadership at the IMD Business School, co-founder of Genesis Advisers, and a bestselling business author of books including The Six Disciplines of Strategic Thinking and The First 90 Days. This article looks at the challenges of remote work. Working from home, whether full-time or just a few days a week, provides significant potential benefits. There's no commute, improved work-life balance, and often increased productivity during focused tasks. Many professionals discover that they can focus better without office distractions, save money on transportation and meals, and gain valuable flexibility in managing their schedules. However, remote work does come with challenges, and even those who initially excel in a home environment may experience a decline in effectiveness over time. Remote Work: Overcoming the Challenges Recognizing when and why your home working setup is not serving you well is essential for making necessary adjustments. Whether you're facing difficulties with remote work days or contemplating changes to your hybrid schedule, pinpointing the biggest challenges is the first step. Here are the top three obstacles and their solutions: 1. Lack of structure and boundaries. The absence of traditional office routines can lead to irregular work patterns and make disconnecting difficult. If this is a challenge for you, try to address it by establishing a strict daily schedule with clear start and end times for your workdays at home. Create a morning routine to replace your commute, improve your task management, and set alarms to signal the end of your workday. Most importantly, avoid checking work emails and messages during off-hours to keep your mental boundaries intact. 2. Home environment distractions. From household chores vying for your attention to family members interrupting important calls, distractions at home can break your focus and lower productivity. Set up a dedicated workspace, even if it's just a corner of a room, and clearly communicate your work hours to family members. Utilize noise-canceling headphones and adopt productivity techniques. Consider maintaining separate devices for work and personal tasks to decrease the temptation to mix activities. 3. Professional isolation. Without regular office interactions, work can become isolating, and creativity may decline. Schedule virtual coffee chats with colleagues on remote workdays, join online professional communities within your industry, and consider occasionally working from a café or coworking space. Many professionals discover that maintaining connections takes intentional effort - setting up regular team check-ins and engaging actively in virtual meetings. The challenges of remote work can affect people differently based on gender. Recent research indicates that women often face greater pressure to balance work and household responsibilities during work hours at home, while men frequently report feeling more isolated and struggle with maintaining boundaries. Women may need to be more explicit in setting interruption rules with family, while men could benefit from intentionally scheduling social connections. If these adjustments don't enhance your situation, consider spending more time in a co-working space or changing your home-to-office ratio. You might find that you work more effectively with two days at home for focused tasks and three days in the office for collaboration, while others might prefer the reverse. Regardless of your gender or circumstances, the key is to discover the right balance that promotes both productivity and well-being in your professional life.

Once you have finished the certification and get your license, you can charge for your services and receive 30% commission on products you sell.   Once upon a time I was a very frustrated mama. Joey was only 6 months old and Abby was 2. Lil Joey didn't like to nap very long and I had a pile of actionable papers but no time to go through them much less accomplish anything. One night the Sunday Basket® was born. I knew the more planned, organized, and efficient with my time I could multiply the amount of tasks I could conquer. Links below to hear the evolution of the Sunday Basket®. Once the Sunday Basket® took off and people were implementing it in their lives they were longing for more training. So I started to offer workshops. But I knew in my heart of hearts that with the growth of my company, there would not be enough Lisa one day. That's when the opportunity to become a certified paper organizer started to be offered.  Some people can DIY it and implement it successfully. Some people, like me, prefer 1:1 explanations and don't mind paying for the speed of implementation. And yet others want to be tricked into it with a little get together, snacks, music, and friends. I used to be a part of Creative Memories, a scrapbooking company. I loved our monthly Friday night workshops and envisioned the certified organizers taking a playbook from Creative Memories. We had such rich connections and were really doing life with each other. And with simply learning to ask “Can this wait till Sunday?” you have a safe place to hold all your actionable papers till Sunday and externalize all the things you want to do.  When people come to the paper organizing retreats that are just one day mind you, they walk away with friends. It is a non-judgmental space. It's a safe place to ask questions about the paper you have with you.  Lots of times another attendee has organized the type of  paper in question. And it's through those conversations that friendships are developed.  Depending on the stage of life you are in, it can be really hard to make friends. I think of how my mom and myself have made friends over the years. I have never really been in the phase of life to plan or attend girls nights out. Those Creative Memory workshops were that for me. And the Paper Organizing Retreat or the other in person event may be that for you. 50% of the people attending are usually settling an estate which can be isolating and lonely and sometimes it's their spouses. You can't make friends in the walls of your homes. 5 years after COVID, it's time to get back to in person events. People are in need of people more than ever right now. And it's us, the people and community of Organize 365® that makes it so unique. So if you are interested, you have the heart of a teacher or a friend, and you want to become a Certified Paper Organizer now is your time!!  You will be certified in the Sunday Basket®, and the Financial, Medical, Household Reference, and Household Operation Binders. Once you are certified, you can even add on certifications like The Friday Workbox®, Teacher Workbox, and The Productive Home solution. We need more certified paper organizers! If you want to take it a step further, become a professional organizer; we have a course for that too called POTT START, check it out.

Today on the Connections Episodes from Organize 365®, I'm talking to Corie Weathers, author of “Military Culture Shift”. Once Corie was married she and her husband desired to invest in marriages, in a private practice. That was until he decided to pursue being a chaplain in the Military. And so began a life long adventure of serving and PCS'ing with two boys. Corie is currently gearing up to PCS soon and vulnerably shared how she feels about it.  Corie's strength is not in adjusting to change. As a therapist, Corie advises others to adjust their expectations and look for the things you are excited about in the new location. It's important to grieve the loss of your current lifestyle, feel it, process it, and then climb out of those feelings by looking for purpose in the new. And while it is a military family's choice to serve, she pointed out there are a lot of sacrifices and choices you forfeit. Corie is deeply committed to serving the military community.  Military Culture Shift We talked about the culture shift among military families over the years. It used to be that 1 in 4 people knew someone serving and now it's 1 in 200 that know someone serving in the Military. Americans had a better understanding of the sacrifice service men and women and their families make, on a daily basis. The overall support system used to be greater. Because military families know the struggle of moving so often, when you arrived in your new location, you could count on the community to embrace you. The spouses acted as the backbone and placed on the back burner for their families. They volunteered so their active duty servicemember could focus on the mission. Honestly, the Military relies on the volunteers. It's volunteers who help the families settle in. Also as spouses, you need to get your family established, then you could explore work opportunities. But by that time it was almost time to move again.  In the 80's the marketing had a fatherly figure kind of message as in you could count on the military to supply all your needs.  That shifted to “we take care of our families so they can take care of themselves” kinda vibe. They were trying to break the dependency of families on them for every need. Families were starting to get used to 2 income households so they didn't have to rely on the military so much and because spouses wanted to work.  Spouses face many challenges in relocating and often that second income is undependable. Where the spouse has a license or certification, in some cases they aren't recognized in other states or countries. We got into a deep discussion about possible solutions and whose job is it to develop and implement those solutions. Social media has filled some of the gaps but due to more spouses working, volunteerism went down and community decreased.  Military Initiative Funding We also talked about how funding gets assigned to different buckets. And the appropriation process to make sure the money gets spent as intended. And what happens when money is supposed to be set aside but comes up short and then some programs don't actually get fully funded. It directly affects those that protect us. We talked a lot about the process. And that goes for every bill that becomes law, not just for the Department of Defense (DOD) initiatives. And when families fall on hard times due to programs not getting funded, now they no longer have that tight knit community to lean on.  Corie's Challenge: “Who is going to be the people group that implements this thing that is so important to me?” We agreed that it's time for everyone to look at the issues with fresh eyes and come up with outside of the box ideas as solutions. As states are starting to have more control, it's time for us and private institutions to step up and provide actionable solutions for those who protect our freedom. Could you be part of the solution for an issue personal to you? EPISODE RESOURCES: Military Culture Shift by Corie Weathers Sign Up for the Organize 365® Newsletter Did you enjoy this episode?
