(www.myorganizedbiz.com) – Have you heard of Jott.com? It’s got to be one of the coolest things I’ve heard about in a while – and I’m right on the fence of starting to use it.

(www.myorganizedbiz.com) – Every Wednesday, I feature a real-live business owner who has a struggle with their office. Honestly, we all have them and there’s no shame in admitting it.
The fact is, life is full. There’s always more to do that you can actually accomlish, so those little niggles in your office are mostly ignored until they get out of control. That’s just how life is.
