CHAOS HAPPENS!

I’m not sure when I realized this but I did and now I have to write about it.  Have you ever noticed that when things in your business are running smoothly that all of a sudden chaos happens?  What is chaos?  How do you pull it together during these times of chaos?  How do you find the calm amidst chaos?  Where does chaos come from?

Chaos is one of those funny words because it has different meanings to the individual.  The definition of chaos is complete disorder and confusion, behavior so unpredictable as to appear random, owing to great sensitivity to small changes in conditions.   For instance, I can relate to the randomness and unpredictability of chaos, and I usually find chaos at least once a day as it rears its ugly head in my business.  And it always blasts its way in like a bad storm trashing my daily schedule and plans.

Yesterday was the most blatant intrusion by chaos.   My day was set for some serious implementation and I was on fire!  I had a mission.  I’m rebranding, doing a lot of writing and then I had some clients.  Then I had set some time for some marketing.  I’m all excited because I’m really crushing it in my business.  Then I get side tracked with the tyranny of the urgent.  I’m fielding calls, helping people that need it and getting ready for guests that will be spending the weekend.  And then I had this clarity moment while rushing around like a crazy women. I laughed to myself inside!   So with this is newfound clarity I took a deep breath and made the most of the chaos.  And it was so much easier to swallow and do the do.  What I discovered is sometimes you can’t avoid chaos you simply have to go with the flow.   And yes because I remained calm and grabbed my Ipad, I was even able to complete some of my work in the calm moments!  How cool is that!  How do you remain calm during chaos?
