"This workshop was not only educational but motivational. It helped me to see new things I can do with the "same old" office stuff."

Think you don't have time to come
to a full-day workshop?
Think again!

Disorganization and all the ills that result from it make you lose about two hours every day. If your income is $100,000 per year, based on a 40-hour week, you're costing the company about $25,000 every year. When you enlist the help of others to help you find something, the cost goes up.

If an income is
$25,000/year, your company loses $6,000
$40,000/year, your company loses $10,000
$50,000/year, your company loses $12,600
$125,000/year, your company loses $32,000

And when you consider that learning tips and tricks in software you use every day will help you finish work six times quicker, clearing your calendar for this workshop just makes sense.

With the skills you'll learn at this workshop, you'll get all that time back and so much more! You'll spend one day to improve the rest of your life!

You have to take time to create time!

"I have been to many, many workshops that have
lasted all day and some that have lasted a couple
of days. This has been the
most informative...I have attended
where I can actually use what I've learned!"
 Wansley Dennis
Program Coordinator, Georgia Tech

  "...You would be so proud of me... the next day after your seminar I began reorganizing my work space and files. I redid my hanging file drawer and purged stuff that had been there for over 10 years! Then I worked on the desk top files. I even created a system for the stuff on my desk AND dejunked my email messages for good! I was already in the reorganization mode before the class but then that just really fueled my fire. Thanks!!!"

WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Busy small business owners and government and private sector professionals.

HOW WE DO THIS AT SUCH A LOW COST
 Some people think a class has to be expensive to be worth attending. Not so! Our classes don't cost hundreds of dollars because we've figured out a better way.

Our training sessions are small and intimate. We do not need to hire an event staging company, a destination management firm, or other expensive support teams. We've thought through the process, streamlined it, and automated everything using technology (that's what Peggy does for a living).

We don't use an 800 number that is often abused. If we did, we'd have to pass that expense on to you.

You bring the computer (when required). Our target clients have a laptop or have access to one. Not providing computers gives us greater flexibility in meeting locations and helps us to avoid this costly expense.

We don't hold our events at expensive hotels. We have access to excellent training facilities that can accommodate the small, intimate sessions we're known for.

We don't feed you. Wish we could, but if we did, we'd build that expense into higher registration fees. As one of our students proclaimed in class, "I can eat later: I came here to learn!"

"Knowing where everything is and not having to dig for it is a phenomenal feeling. Even other people can find things in my office. And your computer tips…thank you! My presentations are so much more polished and professional. Everything I do gets me noticed. But the best part is that I don’t have to take work home anymore,
and have so much more time to spend servicing
my customers."
