129 Ways to Manage your Time?
2010/06/23 6:00 AM
Wow – this has been such a blast to read! I have this discussion with just about every client….and it often comes up on my Ask Sarah calls……and constantly with friends and colleagues. Are we running out of time? Feels like it to all of us at some point I’m sure! As much as I rely on my schedule running like clockwork, we can all get distracted. I have taken a liking to my Google calendar as I can share it with my assistant who feels free (I begged her to order me around) to post things I need to do that I don’t even know about…..Guest blogs I am suppose to write, interviews she schedules, my twins doctor appointments etc… and this awesome reminder pops up and gives me a 10 minute warning!
I am sure you can find some fabulous time saving tips and tricks from my 129 Entreprenette Experts who so generously gave a few moments of their precious time to help you out.

As a former senior military manage and leader time is one of our greatest assest in being successful in any career. What work for me was creating a to do list and sticking to it. Emails and phone calls will consume your time, so check those at the end of the day. Open door policy is great for employees to see you, limit this time to Friday afternoons. Be on time and respect others time is a characteristics of a great leader.

Tom says: These are great ideas, but the title is misldeading, so many people had the same tip. It would have been much more valuable for readers if someone took the time to go through and take out the redundant tips.
Tom,
We decided to keep in some of the redundant ones as we felt those were useful tips that skimmers might miss and catch further down the list. Believe me……we had to pass on about 50 more!

Pitch holiday gift guides
The time is approaching to pitch holiday gift guides over the next 6-8 weeks.
I know, I know, it’s only June, but Holiday Gift Guide submissions are starting now…….so get on it sister, as it will end in July.
This can be a great way to get into magazines that might be more challenging for you in the “everyday” editorial world.
Gift guides often put in items that appeal to their audience, but might not have a good place in the monthly magazines.
Magazines try to appeal to a broad audience with the holiday gift guides, so I would suggest being bold about your choices. Here is what you’ll want to do…

Growing up in the eyewear business, he visited factories around the globe with his father from an early age and got to learn and understand the world of manufacturing. Chad and his partners started DIFF by selling sunglasses at music festivals to get a sense of their target market before doing the deep dive into creating and manufacturing their own unique brand.
Once they created their own designs, getting products to celebrities and the media was not too difficult and the brand quickly took off. Leveraging the media exposure, they were able to build an online business that has donated over 1 million pair of glasses to those in need.

How to know if you have a hero or a zero — Sarah Shaw Consulting
How to know if you have a hero or a zero by testing your product before you invest heavily in producing it. Don't keep it a secret, show it to get feedback.Did I ever share that my Grandmother made this coat for JFK Jr.? Jackie was a frequent shopper in her store in New York City.

Join me and Lisa Ascolese, The Inventress for an enlightening episode on how to think more broadly about your product line so that you can get into more stores and more magazines. In this episode we share ideas on how to think differently about your line. For example, if you make a skincare line and have a serum or oil based product, consider pitching to mountain resorts where the air is dryer and women need more moisture in the products they purchase.You can take this idea a step further by pitching to wellness magazines and local magazines (in the resort town) as they are always looking for products that solve a problem. Many creators think to narrowly and don’t see a bigger pitch for themselves. Take a look at your line and see how you can spin it into a new category, or a new sales channel.
