April Fools Day!

Today is my brother Tim & his wife, Laurie's
25th wedding anniversary! Congratulations!
I'm looking forward to the big party this Saturday!

Well, as promised, here are some shots of our
snow "event". I went out this morning and shot
these. Yea, it's pretty and all but it still is
a reminder that the calendar means NOTHING and
God is in control!







And Jacquie, you got out just in time!
Here's Scott and Will getting ready to head out
this morning!




I met Dave Johnson from National Camera yesterday
at the Hopkins Hennepin County Library to go
over work flow. The weather kept the other guy from
showing so I got at private 1 on 1 lesson from
a master of task handling. It was awesome!
We went straight from 10am to almost 4.
I learned so much and can't wait to start putting
my new found actions to work for me.
Dave is a folder guy and a list guy. yay!

I'm also now armed with the resources to leave
and delegate someone to do my work for me.
Well, should it come to that someday. God knows
I'd love to get someone else to do my post for me!

I was surprised to see that no one else was
interested in this class. Maybe everyone else
has a perfect work flow or is outsourcing their
post. I'll be able to do it now on my own, faster
and get to the next project.

Dave recommends that you list what you do and
how much time you spend doing it...like a daily
time clock, so that you can see where your
"bottle necks" are and if you can actionize them.

What are your biggest tasks?
From start to finish...can you actually divide
how much time you spend on each event into the
money your are charging and determine if you
made money or lost money? CRAZY, I know..
Start with the first call and go to final delivery
of product. Where do you sit?

What's in your wallet?

Don't get fooled today! :)
