The Problem With Paper

If you are like most people, you may be spending more than 150 hours per year looking for lost information. That's conservatively just 30 minutes per day…

Searching your file drawers for that important contract;
Setting up duplicate files because you didn't know you already one (i.e. multiple files for 'car', 'auto', 'vehicle', etc.)
Sifting through sticky notes for the phone number of the client you're supposed to meet in an hour;
Shuffling through your "in-box" yet again;
Staring at the piles of business cards that you "should be following up with";
Sorting through the increasing piles of mail that are overtaking all horizontal spaces in your office;
Searching for electronic files on your computer – what did you call that document, anyway?;
Sifting through never ending e-mails hoping something doesn't fall through the cracks…

Your Paper Tiger Consultant

Having a coach to guide you through setting up the Paper Tiger system in your office can save you many hours and a lot of money! Our research shows that your return on investment after our 8-Hour Miracle! Program is over 300% within 120 days.

I have helped people all over the globe get organized by implementing Paper Tiger without having to travel to your office. How? We connect by phone and I ask you some powerful questions that will help you to more effectively manage the paper in your life.

In the process, we do some Paper Tiger filing, add action items to your tickler file (action system), help you determine what to keep and what to toss, and leave you with a clear desk and a clear mind.

While we are on the phone, I access your computer so I can demonstrate how to use the Paper Tiger, and later on I can watch you do it to ensure that you understand how to use all the functions.

The best part…during much of the time we are on the phone, I do the data entry while you move freely around your office filing and tossing papers. By the end of our working session, you have instant access to everything you filed within 5 seconds!

This process enables you to quickly convert your piles into files, while also learning how to process paper in the future. My goal is to train your brain to ask yourself the same kinds of questions when I'm not on the phone with you so that you can maintain your new productive environment.

Let's talk. I can be reached at 910-431-2436 (I'm on Eastern Time) or by .

I offer a complimentary consultation to help you get organized, be more productive, and tame your paper tiger!

I look forward to serving you!
