Unorganized and Overwhelmed? What's the Real Cost of Not Having it Together?
By 2 Comments
Are you overwhelmed… drowning in a flood of online contacts and information? Yep! Like most people operating a business online, you are bombarded with "stuff" every day; and if you are unorganized, anything of value just floats away with all of the garbage.
What does this mean to you and your audience?
It means that you cannot connect with and reach people who could really benefit from your message and what you have to offer. And… you miss out on a lot of information, that added to your knowledge base could make a huge impact in your customers' lives.
So not only do you and your business miss out on an opportunity to grow and move forward, you are cheating a lot of other people out of an opportunity to learn, grow and move forward as well.
How do you get it all together? Find a way to organize it all that makes sense to you and in a format where you can find things and take action on them.
For an example of the system we use to make the most of everything online… Go Here!
You owe it to the world to share your passion and expertise… but if people can't connect with you… and you lose the information that's valuable to them… you are falling short in the potential you have to make a difference in peoples' lives.

Buried in the Information Avalanche – Do You Have a Beacon?
By 1 Comment
Do you get an insane amount of information and contacts coming at you on a daily basis? We’re pretty sure you do. It seems that anyone who is online today is under an extreme amount of overwhelm when it comes to the sheer quantity of “stuff” they’re continually exposed to.
The thing is, a lot of this information and the contacts you have are important to your business (some of it is vital). By connecting with organizational clarity to the contacts, information and knowledge you have, it can enable you to focus on critical tasks. These are the tasks you need to do to maintain your relationships with your prospects and clients and generate the revenue you need to grow your business and help more people.
The problems?
• Overwhelm from the sheer amount of information coming at you on a daily basis.
• Having a huge amount of critical information inside your head that you just don’t know where to download.
• Lack of clarity. It all just seems like a collage of “stuff” that you can’t find, make use of, or implement.
• Not having a trusted system that can help solve all of the above challenges.
The solution?
• It boils down to this plain and simple thing: Have and use a trusted system where you can store all your information and contacts in a way that your brain naturally connects to.

It's Remarkable How Much "Stuff" is Out There
By 8 Comments
Take a trip down the Internet yellow-brick road… the what?
Well, you start in one of the social networking sites, then follow a link that someone has put there. Once you get there, you'll find that there are more links to follow… more sites to discover, products to buy, free things to get, and on and on.
Now, not all of the things you come across are going to be meaningless, uninteresting or things you want to pass by. A lot of the information, products and services are going to draw your attention as something you'd really like to purchase or get involved with.
The unfortunate thing is that getting lost, and going in several different directions at the same time is often the result of heading down this road.
How do you make sure you don't end up lost or out of focus on where you want your business to be? Look at each piece of information or opportunity as how it relates to you and your business. Is it something that you can implement that will help you to grow your business? Or, is it something that you can use personally to grow you?
Not only do you have to determine if it is something that relates to you or your business, you also have to decide if it is something that you can and WILL implement. Even if something appears really cool, you also have to look at the probability of you actually using it.
Think objectively and choose wisely. Look through the hype to how it relates to you and what you are looking to achieve.
One way to physically "see" the relationships between information, courses, offers and the people you meet (physically or online) is to capture it all in a Dynamic Information Map. This is an uber Cool Tool that not only enables you to store and retrieve information and connections, but to actually see the relationships between it all.

Top 5 Reasons to Organize All Your Information and Knowledge
By 29 Comments
Like everyone else, there seems to be no end to the amount of information and knowledge you’ve acquired through interesting articles or blog posts you’ve read, courses or e-courses you’ve taken, and all the other types of information research you’ve done.
You’re absolutely sure you've stored all of this somewhere… but where? Can you easily find it when you need it? And… you may be wondering why it really matters if you can find this or not.
Well… just in case you are wondering, here are the top 5 reasons why you really DO need to organize all your information and knowledge:
5) How Do I…?
You’re stuck… and you know you have the answer somewhere in the information you’ve gathered… but where? Make your organizational system searchable so you can find the exact info you need, when you need it.
4) Content Creation
You’ve got blog posts and articles to write. What about that e-course you planned on releasing? Researching all the information you have is a great source for content. It’s right under your nose. Again, organize it and make it searchable.

Organizing Relationships and Information for Review and Planning
By 1 Comment
Planning where you want to go personally, spiritually and professionally is a must. If you don't have a plan of what you want to accomplish and what you're going to do to get there, it can feel overwhelming or a lot like being lost.
To plan for the future, you need to know where you're at right now.
First let's look at relationships. You have a lot of relationships with other people; the question is what type of relationship is it? Is it a personal one, strictly professional, or both? How did you get to know this person? How can you help them? Do you have common relationships with other people?
So, to know how to keep and develop your relationships, it's important to have an understanding of what they look like now, how they relate to you and their connections with other people, events and information.
Now let's look at all the information and knowledge you've amassed over the years. It is said that knowledge is power. But as Goethe said, "Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must do." Knowledge is of no value if it is not used.
How can you make use of, or act on, any information or knowledge you've acquired if you can't remember it or find it? To plan on where you want your business to go, you need to understand what you have in terms of information and knowledge you can use. Most of us don't need more information, we just need to know what we have and make use of it.
Now that we've demonstrated the importance of organizing and managing your relationships, information and knowledge, there are a couple of places you can go to to find out how we organize and manage it all.

Trust us… knowing where you're at in your relationships, what information and knowledge you have… and being able to find it and make use of it, is a huge step in successful planning. That in turn is a huge step in your future happiness and success.

Managing Social Media, Information and Knowledge Survey
We would appreciate your input on managing social media relationships, information and knowledge.
On a daily basis you connect with new friends and followers, keep in touch with existing contacts, and are exposed to an overwhelming amount of information and knowledge. So, how do you manage all that? Does most of it end up in a black hole, never to be seen again? If you're like most people, that's exactly what happens. Then when you need it most, you can't find it.
People have told us things like:
"I don' know how to organize it all."
"How do I get my head around managing this on a daily basis, so that I don't end up overwhelmed and therefore give up!"
"My challenge – overload, and getting everything organized. Paper and email avalanche."
As well, people had specific questions about whether it is possible to manage and organize social media relationships, information and knowledge, and how to do it.
To better define what you'd really like to know, would you please take five minutes to complete the following survey? (It's just 7 questions, and they're really easy to answer.)
The survey is here ==> http://2yourpage.net/go/survey01/cc1
Thank you in advance for your input, we really appreciate it.

A Glimpse Inside Alex Mandossian's "Brain"
By 3 Comments
Information, knowledge, and connections… what Alex Mandossian is all about. The question is… how do we keep track of all of the information, knowledge and multitude of links that Alex reveals to us?
The answer… we store it in Alex's "Brain".
What we've created is a very detailed, very large, dynamic mind map (Alex's "Brain") where we manage the information and knowledge Alex has imparted on his students, as well as his relationships or contacts.
From that large dynamic mind map (or "Brain") of over 8,200 thoughts we have extracted a "Public Brain", or scaled-down version to show you how "The Brain" can help organize your thoughts and knowledge… as well as the thoughts and knowledge of those you follow.
Go ahead and wander through "The Brain" of Alex Mandossian below and get a glimpse of the amazing amount of information and knowledge Alex sends out to the world and some of the "movers and shakers" he knows and associates with.
For a larger view of Alex's "Brain", Click Here

We delve into more details about the tool we used to create Alex's "Brain" and other dynamic mind maps in our blog post at: => http://TheCoolestCouple.com/cooltool1.
