Road Warriors Manage Business With a Toll Free Number

Sitting behind the wheel of a vehicle while trying to manage a business is a struggle all its own. For one thing, it is very risky from a safety standpoint to talk on your cell phone and drive at the same time. This makes obtaining an 800 number and PBX system behind it of utmost importance to those who live on the road for the majority of their business.

Sure, you have a cell phone to keep in touch, and it even has a voicemail box attached to it but what about the caller side? Do they incur long distance charges when trying to reach you? Do they have multiple options for leaving messages or obtaining information?

Auto-Attendant and Information Depot. Reaching an auto-attendant helps a customer route their own phone call. Whether it is by department or directory of names, they choose where they need to be. Or if it is information that is needed, options can be implemented to help with basic sales and support.

Follow Me Forwarding. This 800 number and associated PBX system has built into it the ability to route calls to several numbers before finally settling on a voicemail box. This is customer service focused business at its best. It sends a message that you care about the customer and put their needs first.

Cost Effective Solution. For which party is this the best solution? In this case, both, because the customer incurs no charges to reach you and you keep your costs low by not having to hire someone to handle the communications side of your business. If there ever was a win-win situation, this is it.

The next most important phone call you can make is to obtain an 800 number and PBX system for your business. Are you tired of running your business from your car anyway?

What Business Are you Really In? The Energy Management Business

Ever get a great idea, and then you are flying high with inspiration and possibilities? You outline your idea, you mind map it, you buy books on the subject, you easily draft up copy for an email campaign… you take a few steps, and then you share it with a few people close to you and… Bam! You hear “How will you do that?” “I don’t get it…” “Someone else I know has done something similar…”

Next thing you know, your inspired actions have turned to staring at the computer and aimlessly reading tweets.

Then your own psyche joins in the game and pipes up. “You’ve never done anything like that. What makes you think you can do it? Last time you tried a campaign, you didn’t get very many people signing up. Your message isn’t clear enough. Your list isn’t big enough…” Not enough, not enough, not enough…
You’ve popped out of the flow.

Hmm… time to go get a snack from the kitchen (I never realized my love for poptarts!). I MUST wash all the towels in the house (it must be done NOW). Or I’ve just got to clean out that silverware drawer (where did all these crumbs come from?).
All this talk – the inner and the outer chatter – slam us to a halt because it’s colluding with our deep inner beliefs, those repetitive thoughts that have dug such a groove inside of us that they drive the train, and we may not even realize it.

Stopping this chatter, shifting our thoughts, and creating new beliefs are what our work as an entrepreneur, as the owner of our business, is really about. When we can do that consciously and consistently, then we can DO anything in our business!

The first step is always awareness.

You have to be aware of the chatter that is self-limiting and pulls you down. The easiest way to create awareness is by paying attention to the signals your body gives you such as:
•    tightening shoulders, throat, stomach, heart area
•    clenched teeth and/or jaw
•    headache
•    upset stomach
•    fuzzy brain (that’s what I call it when you start feeling confused on a subject that you did have clarity about two seconds ago)

The feelings that go with those body symptoms are:
•    irritability
•    frustration
•    confusion
•    feeling of yearning
•    anger
•    sadness
•    depression

These are signs you need to:
1. Let go
2. Shift
3. Choose life-enhancing thoughts again

It’s hard to choose a new thought in the moment of these intense, constricted feelings which I call the “grip.

”First you need to let go and shift.

Let go by:
•    drinking water
•    breathing
•    listening to a meditation CD or meditating with another method
•    going for a walk
•    working out
•    consciously choosing to do a new activity like sort the laundry or clean the silverware drawer

Once you shift the “grip,” then you can think a little clearer and choose to shift your thoughts to ones that are more life-enhancing. (More on that in a future article.)
For starters, practice noticing the signs in your body of being “in the flow” or being “out of the flow.”

Then choose to shift.
