The Nitty Gritty:\n\n\n\n* Why taking the time to tidy up your business is so important * The 3 ways Tara has cleaned up her business over the last few years* Information on The What Works Network Spring Cleaning Virtual Conference* Plus, a sneak peek of interviews coming out in March\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDoes your business spark joy?\n\n\n\nOr are you overwhelmed by the piles of business clutter that have grown up around you over the years?\n\n\n\nMaybe you have dusty products in one corner of your business, crusty old marketing assets in another, and a mess of outdated prospects in another.\n\n\n\nIf you\u2019re like me, that kind of business clutter can weigh heavy on your mind.\n\n\n\nSix months after I started my very first website, I had the opportunity to purchase a website from a friend who wanted to get out of the blogging scene. She had a much bigger audience and a global platform. I seized the opportunity and used it to catapult my ambitions into the big time.\n\n\n\nBut a few years after that initial purchase, I had moved on to other things. \n\n\n\nI was coaching and teaching business to a different audience and using my own name as my brand.\n\n\n\nYet, that website persisted.\n\n\n\nI had a team member manage the editorial calendar and guest contributions. We\u2019d stopped selling ads\u2014so the site wasn\u2019t generating any revenue directly\u2014but we occasional used it to promote other offers.\n\n\n\nOn paper, the website didn\u2019t take up any of my time or energy.\n\n\n\nBut mentally? That was a different story.\n\n\n\nOf course, I only discovered the mental load of that website when I decided to sell it.\n\n\n\nWhen I finally handed off the keys to the domain name, email list, and web host, I realized just how much the upkeep of that website contributed to my baseline stress level.\n\n\n\nWhat a relief!\n\n\n\nI wish I could say that was the only time an old opportunity took up space in my brain\u2026 but it certainly was not. Is not.\n\n\n\n* I don\u2019t use Twitter at all anymore but I still have it on my phone. My account is still active. People occasionally still tweet at me with questions or thanks.* I don\u2019t\u2014and won\u2019t\u2014promote my old books anymore but they\u2019re still available on Amazon. People still buy them.* I don\u2019t use plenty of old Facebook groups that I belong to. I still get notifications from them.\n\n\n\nThe clutter piles up. I might not be tripping over it but it would be silly to think that it doesn\u2019t impact my day-to-day life and my ability to create results for my business.\n\n\n\nToday, I want to share 3 ways I\u2019ve been cleaning up my own business\u2014with ideas for how you can do the same.\n\n\n\nBut first, I want to let you know that March is Spring Cleaning month at The What Works Network and we\u2019re hosting our next virtual conference on March 21st with 4 different ways you can tidy up your own business.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat\u2019s a virtual conference?\n\n\n\nWell, we host these events ever quarter at The What Works Network. They\u2019re community-wide collaborative learning experiences that you can attend from anywhere and, yes, they\u2019re recorded if you can\u2019t make it live.\n\n\n\nLet me run it down for you: our members gather in our virtual conference space on Crowdcast starting at 11am Eastern/8am Pacific.\n\n\n\nOur first session sets that stage for the day and I guide you through some reflect...
