Thermostat

Yes, it is that time of year when we want to save money because our heating bills are outrageous!  So, I had my brother put in the automatic thermostat.  Now mind you, I could have done it as he walked me through the process, however, he is the engineer and it was nice to hang out for a bit. But as he left me with figuring out how to program it, I was completely worthless!  So what did I do, read the directions, try to follow the step by step instructions, THEN, I saw it the phone number for customer service!  DONE, I made the 800 call to Honeywell.  They walked me through my week, Monday through Friday, Saturday and Sunday, all specifically tailored to my schedule.  NOW my house temp is just perfect!

Hostess

Today was a grand day as a Lifestyle Manager for my client at a major bank downtown.  My client needed me to get the caterer, and make sure all her meeting attendants were set with breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack.  I wanted to make sure she didn't have to think about or worry about any of this "small" stuff.  I wanted her to just know that it would "get done".  
It was a successful day and the meeting went off without a hitch!  Another satisfied client!

What are you worth?

I asked my client, "how much do you think you are worth an hour, he was a bit taken back by the question, like it was none of my business?  I wasn't asking how much he made per hour, I asked, what "he thought" he was worth.  He could say whatever he wanted!  He asked why I wanted to know?  I simply said, let's just say you are worth, $250 per hour, and for 4 hours that he works, his time is $1000, so if he were to hire someone for those 4 hours to relieve him of work he should not being doing, what is it worth to him?
Food for thought?

Basement Fun

The best time to work in someone's basement is when it is -2 degrees outside!  I get total satisfaction helping my client organize, clean, paint and just make her basement a place she feels so much better about "heading" down to.  Yes, it is an old cement basement, with low ceilings.   We have made a great start with about 6 loads to ARC and 3 big garbage days!  I love this stuff!  It is a work in progress.  The next step is to put items into bins.  Then we will paint!  Oh the fun  of it all!

Business Meeting

Today, meeting with my client to help her with a business meeting downtown.  I am helping to get the menus for all the attendants for breakfast, lunch and snack.  Full day of meetings and I will help host!  Sounds like a wonderful opportunity to meet new people and spread the word, "get it done".   I have taken the challenge to help her learn how to "delegate"!  My client will be amazing and is learning how to let go of items, she should not have to do because she needs to do what she does best!
