I started working with Deb Pilgrim 6 months ago and I can only say “Wow!” Not only am I not the same person both mentally and emotionally I was back then, but my business is completely transformed. The most obvious benefits are that I have more clients and more profit, in fact last month was the best ever in my business and it has been building steadily since I started working with Deb.

It is with great pleasure and honor that I write this testimonial for Deb Pilgrim.
I am blessed to be one of Deb’s Fast Track Clients. I started our sessions together a broken and frustrated business owner, juggling 3 jobs to make ends meet, running a business that was barely breaking even and contemplating closing my business. After completing the "Fast Track Programme" I now work in and on my business 4 days each week, I am not juggling finances to make ends meet, I have more time with my young family and my business is making steady increases.

Every entrepreneur must take the time to position themselves within their marketplace. To do this effectively you need to already know who your ideal clients are, as well as your competitors. In this week's Monday's Messenger, I provide you with two additional questions that will help you further clarify your position.

This is an important change to make and when it happens you will never waste another minute! In a dollar sense - this means you are comfortable charging for your lifetime of knowledge, learning and experience - don't allow clients to take this for granted. You have invested a lot of time and energy and in life, we only get one chance with our time - we cannot go back and use the last 10 seconds!
2. Get the most out of your day.
Every now and then ask yourself: "Am I making the best use of my time?" If not, stop what you are doing , re-access what you are doing, and begin working on a project that will allow you better use of your time. If you are 'bogged down' or don't want to start a project, use the ten minute rule: set a timer for 10mins and start your project. If after 10mins you still aren't in the flow of this project -stop and move onto another project. If after 10mins you are in the flow of this project, then keep going!
3. Work with goals in mind.
It’s amazing how differently we work when you have goals to work towards. If you don't know what your goals are, stop now and spend some time working out what they may be. Use them as a road map for your daily 'to-do' list! Examples may be professional (project deadline, sales quotas, product development, etc) and personal (health, fitness, family relationship, financial, etc).
4. Handle every e-mail only once.
Use the '3 D' rule of Do it, Delete it or Delegate it. Use day-based folders to keep your inbox on track. Check your emails twice through out the day, and then either respond if that is needed, delete it or place it in the appriorate day-based folder. If you print a copy then use the '3 D' rule, for this as well!
5. Ask some one who is efficient - What their secret is?
Ask the most efficient person you know what their secret is and how did they develop these habits. Then see if it will work for you. Remember that productivity is a habit, so be prepared to give this new habit time.
6. Don't allow anyone to take your time from you.
Set up boundaries around your time. If you are constantly interrupted with phone calls - think about
forwarding your phone to voice mail, and then bundling your return calls at a certain time. If you work by appointments and someone is late for an appointment and hasn't contacted you - give them 15 minutes past the appointed time and then move on. It is up to you as to how you allow other people to use your time!
7. Build family and personal time into your day.
We all need to have the support of our family or friends - so make sure you build them into your daily habits. You don't want to get to the end of your working life and realise that you missed out on the closeness and development of your family.
8. Your health is important - isn't it!
Maintain your health and fitness because this is what will help you through in the long run. There are three things that I feel are valuable to us all - they are time [which we are talking about]; knowledge and energy. Take care of your energy and its levels. At the end of the day being overworked and stressed is only going to hamper your health. So take extra care of this - go for a walk, have a massage, spend time with your family, stop, breathe and smell the roses.
9. Dry clean the clutter from your office and home.
Take some time to remove the clutter from your life. The more you simplifier your office or life the more time you will have. Clutter zaps your energy and allows you to waste time on non-valuable tasks. So plug the holes today.
10. Work in your peak performance times.
Schedule demanding tasks to the part of the day that you work best, where your energy levels are at their highest. It maybe first thing in the morning or early afternoon - work out when it is and then see yourself moving ahead.
