© Copyright Patricia Robb 2010 16 November, 2008 Writing when you don’t know what you’re talking about. I wrote the article The Art of Minute Taking and I had only taken minutes a few times about 25 years ago.

Utilize your calendar to schedule tasks. Sit down at your calendar and block out the time for your tasks. If you need to write/send your holiday cards then look at your calendar and schedule it in. In the calendar. Schedule those activities on your calendar. Don't fill your calendar to the max.

At the uber-confident age of seven, it was ridiculous to consider buying a Skill Level 3 kit. It’s not promising, it’s not enticing, and it doesn’t allude to anything in the article. A simple calendar plan with day-by-day objectives for a blog redesign could have prevented all that strife. But Skill Level 2? Horrible headline.

Competition makes you confident. Being able to say that you’re better for whatever reason gives you confidence in your business and in your product. And it’s going to translate into a confidence that affects your sales, your demeanor, and ultimately the success of your business. Excitement instead of indifference? All is well.
