What was your first time like?



Here's the exercise I want you to do today:
  • Sit down with a pen and paper in a quiet place.
  • REFLECT "Why in heaven's name did I ever start this business anyway?"

Get back in touch with why you ever got into business for yourself in the first place.
Now, from there simply take a look ... "Is this still what I want today, what I wanted 7, 15, 18, 20 years ago? How close am I to that?"

Where would you like to BE 3 years from today?

Something needed to change.

I was being run by my business, working all of the time, when I should have been running my business.

I decided to join Lynne's Trade-Contractors' Business Strategies Training year-long program, and thanks to her style of

  • putting time limits on projects to get things done,
  • being a good listener, and
  • responding with good answers and ideal solutions,


I was able to make the necessary modifications.

I am now taking more time off the tools. I spend more time in my office, have weekends off, feel more rested and am able to enjoy life by working smarter instead of working harder.

Impressed Clients



Before taking the e-course, Better Managing your Time, with Lynne Jacob of MLJ Coaching & Consulting I was frustrated with myself and others at work; I didn't have enough time in each day and I lacked time for myself.

Through informal telephone conversations and hearing examples taken from Lynne's own life, in only 7-weeks I have improved my goal-setting, prioritizing, investing the time to do the job to the best of my ability, communication to and from others and, as well, I now realize that looking after myself is a necessity.

I was drawn to the first workshop: DESIGN YOUR CREATION by constructing a compelling 3-year vision by the title and by the idea of creating a 3-year vision for my life. It had been on my mind quite a bit in the last little while.

What I liked most about the workshop was the workbook and the actual exercises to work through. I've ALREADY spent time working on the workbook and as well as having already taken the first step, I've already planned the next one, too. I KNOW I will realize this vision I have for myself in the next 3 years!

IMPRESSED CLIENTS


After several years in the same industry I found myself working the same amount or more hours every week and feeling as if I was putting in more effort to accomplish the same or less. I realized that even though I was missing something that was key in achieving my goals.

Since I began working one on one with Lynne, I have found that my pattern of work habits has changed. I hold myself more accountable to things that I set out for myself. I am also seeing that part of my responsibility as a supervisor is not only to inform others but show them how they can use the information.

I appreciate that Lynne works on my agenda and goals, not a cookie cutter template meant for everyone. We work on goals or projects that I have identified. I am able to work at my pace on items that we identify that need extra attention.

I would recommend Lynne to anyone who has identified to themselves that they want something they currently do not have. Whether that is more disposable income, more leisure time, more employees, more family time. This method of coaching would be useful if you are an entrepreneur, executive, or an employee working for more.
