What's your filing DNA?

I can bet that we have all researched tons of ideas and listened to people on how to have a successful filing system.  I'd like to invite you to throw away the idea that one day someone else's filing system will work for your business.  

People are creatures of habit.  We like things done a certain way.  We crave structure and organization...but of course we crave our own particular flavor of all of that.  We want to be part of a routine, however, we like the idea of creating that routine.  (Especially if you are a business owner)

The best way to keep yourself organized is to develop your own system.  One person's step by step system will not necessarily work for you.  Instead of wasting another year attempting to implement someone else's organizational structure into your life, why not spend a week pulling the best ideas from many to create your own?  A week of deciding what will work for you will save you months or even years of insanity.  I'm not suggesting that other people's filing systems are bad.  I'm simply suggesting that for you - creature of habit -  setting yourself up for the best possible result means choosing a system that you can actually file and thrive with. 

Remember, leading the pack usually means creating your own way.  It starts from how you will approach your life/business to how you implement it. Once you have your direction, then you're already one step ahead and on your way to the top!

Cheers!
