 This video is about how to make sure you are working on things that are important for you in your business So I invite you to bring to mind a task a project or an activity That you've been putting off in your business But that you know if you gave focused attention and time to it that it will move your business forward So maybe it's a writing project of some kind Maybe it's a planning of something. Maybe it's reaching out to a referral partner or prospective clients Maybe it is cleaning or organizing something Okay, a simple way to make sure that you stop putting it off and do it is to schedule an appointment with yourself Half an hour hour hour and a half four hours, whatever It helps you to focus on something schedule an appointment with yourself in your calendar To be working on that thing now. I know you might say to me George. I've tried scheduling appointments with myself I don't keep them something always comes up I get distracted on doing something or I Fulfill other people's requests instead and In this case, I want to ask you do you treat your client appointments in that way? You said an appointment with a client say three weeks from now. You're gonna meet with your client When the time comes do you go gosh, you know my spouse wants me to do something my children my grandchildren my Business partner some things come up. I don't feel like it today. Just don't feel up to it. I hope you don't do that You probably don't Now if something really does come up with a client or that might conflict with a client appointment You reschedule with your client, right? But you don't reschedule you don't keep rescheduling You don't say all right. Let's try it next week and then it doesn't come it doesn't you know You don't feel like it. Let's try another week. No, you make sure you keep your client appointments You know You you take a stand to make sure you keep your client appointments, right? If someone else wants to do something at that time slot you say, no, I've got a client appointment at that time, right? You don't just say oh sure. Why not? I'll just reschedule the client. No, you you treat your clients appointments with respect So I'm inviting you to treat appointments with yourself with that kind of respect Because you are your most important client So think about how you prepare for client appointments and how you are during the client appointments You probably take a few minutes to prepare for that appointment You as the client comes in or beforehand you maybe you take some time to breathe Set an intention be present Why not do the same thing with appointments with yourself? right And during the client appointment you don't check email Uh constantly you don't like surf facebook or look at this web link or that web page You are there with a client And you're thinking of ideas to help them you are present in your whatever healing or or coaching capacity you do with them Do the same with yourself And You might also say well george. I've tried to so much time. I just keep putting blowing off appointments with myself Okay, I want you to invite you to start simple So don't try to schedule. All right. I'm so excited about this idea I'm going to schedule five hours for the next, you know, seven days. No Try just scheduling one hour this week to work on something you've been putting off, but you know, it's important And treat that as a client appointment. It's client with the appointment with your most important client, which is you And then take a stand no matter if someone says you oh, you want to go do this You want to go do that or you don't feel like it treat it like a client appointment an important one And see what happens and you need practice To treat yourself with respect and treat your own schedule for with yourself with respect And as you schedule one and meet it then schedule another one the following week and meet that And soon you'll start treating your appointments with yourself with that kind of respect that you deserve So I hope you try this out. Let me know how it goes any questions. I'm always welcome to it And until the next video be well
