Description

Little did I know then but 12 years old, I created my first process. It was a system to run through each and every holiday season to ensure all gifts were purchased, wrapped and ready. This was prompted due to a disaster I share in the podcast.

Over the years, it’s been perfected to include the more “adult” elements of gift giving and holiday planning. And it’s been a life-saver that I’d like to share it with you today.

You may not think this is very business-related – as are most of the topics we cover here on the podcast … but it really is. I’m sure you’ve heard about the value of having processes and systems in your business so things run smoothly. Even if you haven’t, I bet you have them set up without even knowing it. When you make your products, you follow a certain step by step process. Same with filling orders and a number of other tasks you do that are necessary for your business to function properly. You may just not have them formalized and written down.

When you have a structured process, projects become so much easier because you don’t have to rethink the steps, you only have to follow them. I have processes for lots of things in the business, from order processing, to blog writing and promoting, podcast creation and production, and of course, social media posting.

So, you’re probably not surprised now when I tell you I have a process for holiday gift planning. And guess what?

I want to share with you the https://s3.amazonaws.com/giftbiz.downloads/Holiday+Gifting+Worksheet+-+Personal.pdf (Holiday Gifting Worksheet) I created and use every year. It keeps me organized and sane when it comes to holiday presents. It’s totally free – my gift to you - and you can download your https://s3.amazonaws.com/giftbiz.downloads/Holiday+Gifting+Worksheet+-+Personal.pdf (worksheet right here). No opt in or anything. The link sends you directly to the worksheet.
