Legal Structure – Journaling Jem™ for the Day from Journaling Jems™ for the Business Professional –  Have you decided on the legal structure for you company? LLC?  S Corp? C Corp? Or the equivalent in your area / country.  If not, what do you need to do to get this organized?  If so, is it still working for you?  Do you need to make any changes?

Maybe today you just need to do some research.  Or, if you are a Corporation in the U.S.  remember that today – March 15th – is Tax Day.

Forgiveness – Jem™ for the Day from the Original Journaling Jems™ – Forgiveness doesn’t necessarily mean we condone a situation or behavior.  Some times the person we need to forgive most, is ourselves.  List the things you forgive yourself for or write yourself an apology letter.  Dear me,  I’m sorry that I haven’t been….  I’m sorry that I…..

What do you need to forgive yourself for today?

List of Questions????? – Journaling Jem™ for the Day from Journaling Jems™ for the Business Professional – Write a list of questions.  What ever comes to mind.  This exercise triggers your unconscious mind to search for answers.  Don’t stop to consider the answers, but you may be surprised how many pop into your head, as you write the questions, or over the next few days or weeks.

 This actually came up in the mini workshop at Jigsaw Java last night.  Questions can be very compelling.  Be careful with Why questions.  Don’t let yourself go to WHY ME????

 Use all the others liberally, How?  When?  What?  What if?  Who?

Can’t make the show.  Check for the archive version available later in the week.

Wisdom – Jem™ for the Day from the Original Journaling Jems™ – Write a letter to future generations.  What life lessons have you learned?  What wisdoms would you like to pass on?    If you have children, grandchildren or someone else’s children in your life, consider sharing this letter with them.

Think about what lesson you wish you had learned earlier in your life.

How? – Journaling Jem™ for the Day from Journaling Jems™ for the Business Professional – How is a great question to ask to stimulate your unconscious to bring you the answers you need.  Think about any business problem or issue.  Write a list of as many How? questions as you can think of that relate to it.

Some examples…. How can I generate more revenue today? How can I give better customer service? How do I increase traffic to my website?

You can also use this same technique for personal problems or issues.
For example….. How can I eat more healthily?  How can I find time to exercise?  How can I spend quality time with my friends and family?

Appreciation – Jem™ for the Day from the Original Journaling Jems™ – Think of someone in your life.  Write a list of all the things you appreciate about them.  Think of someone else.  Write another list of all the things you appreciate about them.  Repeat.  Share your list with these people.

Who are you going to appreciate today?

De-Stress – Journaling Jem™ for the Day from Journaling Jems™ for the Business Professional –  Being in business can be a lot of pressure.  What can you do today for yourself?  If not today, then this week?  Make a list.  Maybe just take a deep breath, go for a walk or call a friend.

I’m meeting a friend for lunch today. Tomorrow, after a speaking engagement, I’m going to another friend’s house for dinner and a movie.

Who is in your life? – Jem™ for the Day from the Original Journaling Jems™ – Make two lists.  First, list all the people in your life who make you feel bad, who make you feel drained.  Then, list all the people in your life who you feel great around, who support you, who energize you.  Plan to spend more time with people on the second list.

Sometimes you need to “fire your friends”.  If they are not supportive of you and your dreams, at the very least, spend less time with them.
