This week I’m decluttering my business, in much the same way I declutter my wardrobe. There are some things I just LOVE that really don’t go with anything else in the wardrobe (business) anymore and are just causing clutter.

Like decluttering your wardrobe this can create HUGE resistance, as you hold on to that groovy hippy outfit that is simply not your style anymore but has soooo many great memories.

However, if done well, it can also release cluttered energy and free you up to truly see the gems that have been hidden there all along, yet were buried beneath the memories.

In this week’s video I share the 3 steps to effectively declutter your business and the impact this can have on your customers.

I’ll be sharing with you over the next few weeks the changes to my business….what is destined for the “op-shop” and what will be given starring roles.

I’d love to hear from you. What would you lovingly discard from your business? What do you think should be allowed to shine more?

Tell me your thoughts below.

P.S. Do you have a friend or colleague who has a similar challenge? If so, pass this video to them.

Hello and welcome, Janet Beckers with your wonderful WebTV for the week and today we’re going to talk about de-cluttering your business. You see at the moment I’m in the process of looking at my business in exactly the same way that I would to look at my wardrobe. So I’m doing a spring cleaning and going, you know what, sometimes there is just so much clutter there you can’t see the beautiful classic clothes that really really reflect who you are, because there’s too much other stuff there, thats served its purpose.

The other part of it though is when you have done that de-cluttering in the wardrobe and you can see those great things that you’ve forgotten that you actually had there. That when you do put them on you feel fantastic and they represent you, there is an amazing clearing of energy and it just allows you to be able to breathe even though you didn’t realize you were feeling cluttered. So the same thing can happen with your business.

So this is the process I’m going through at the moment. I thought I would share with you a couple of steps that you need to put into place to be able to de-clutter your business:

Step number 1: Get super duper clear on what is your style now. It can evolve over the year your branding will be evolving. So, look at it and go: Well actually, what is it? What is my style? What actually is it that I want to be doing? What gets me the best results with my clients and what things aren’t getting the best results anymore? So number one, clarity on really what do you really want to have, what really represents you and your brand.

Step number 2: You want to have a really good audit so you know exactly what you’ve got. Same thing as taking everything out of that wardrobe and throwing it on the bed so you can find everything you want to do the same thing with your business. Instead of throwing it on the bed,you might just want to do that in a spreadsheet or just on a big whiteboard. So you know exactly a good audit of what is available.

Then comes the hard part: What stays in? What goes? And what can be repurposed? So that comes the part that is the hardest decision and takes the most energy from you and the strength. But it also is going to be incredibly clearing because if you thi...
