Book Review: The Joyful Business Planner by Kate Martin

Where has this business planner been for the past three decades of my life? The Joyful Business Planner by Kate Martin is unlike anything you've probably seen before--which is why the author says she put it together.

Broken down into five sections--Business Overview, Marketing, Yearly Tracking, Calendars, and Wish Lists and Aspirations--this planner has the systems to get you organized and on track to meet your goals.

What I love about this book (everything really, but...):

• It's less than 100 pages (perfect for busy small business owners like me);
• It is short on narration and long on helpful templates to put the right systems in place;
• There is one sheet that is a look at your current year at a glance that you can complete and hang in your office to stay focused;
• One chapter focuses solely on social media marketing (including blogging);

I could go on and on about The Joyful Business Planner, but in the end all I need to say is this: if you are a small business owner, The Joyful Business Planner is an essential tool for success.

THIS WEEK'S RANDOM QUESTION: What was your favorite picture book as a kid?

Happy Monday! Hope all is well. Things are good here. Too much to do and too little time, but that's the story of life.

The real estate market has been nuts: not enough houses but tons of buyers. Prediction is that April will have more traffic than ever before. I'm meeting with new clients all the time.

As far as reading goes, I've been tackling Food Junkies. It's a fascinating look into food addiction. I'm learning a lot.

Other than that, I have some book reviews I'll be posting soon, including The Joyful Business Planner by Kate Martin.

What are you reading these days? Anything you would recommend to me?
