Applying Dave Ramsey to your task list . . .
I was chatting with Landon Loveall yesterday when we were doing an interview for his new referral network, 30Referrals (see the interview here), and the conversation turned to how many of my small business clients have multiple, ongoing projects that can get overwhelming.
Don’t forget about your pantry when selling . . . so eat up!
I know, I know, you have to eat when you are selling your house. But when prospective buyers come in and see a jammed, crammed, chaotic pantry…this isn’t the best impression you can give.
Going Paperless in the Kitchen…Guest Post on Faithful Provisions
My last post about going green mentioned going paperless in the kitchen. There are some simple steps you can take to do this yourself. Our household hasn’t bought paper towels in over 8 months. Saved us a bunch of money, and it really wasn’t that hard to do.

A couple of weeks ago, my computer became possessed by the letter “h”. It started out occasionally typing an “h” randomly while I was working and then began doing it more frequently.
Using ‘Notes’, or, “I have a lead on a client but can’t remember their name!”
One of the main issues I run across when working with both business and residential clients is how to keep track of all the people they meet. For residential – it’s often the soccer coach, the new teacher at school, the parent they met at the school play or the plumber their neighbor recommended.
Going green & getting organized with Chico Bags

Organizing lessons From The Nashville Flood of 2010
Many of you may have heard of the “great Nashville flood” we had in our area recently.
