224 - So Lisa Is A Questioner...

I took Gretchen Ruben's Four Tendencies quiz and discovered that I'm a Questioner.

I say "discovered," but I guess it's not that much of a surprise at all.

Did you take the Four Tendencies quiz and find out what you are?

A couple of weeks ago here in Cincinnati, Ohio, I had the Sunday Basket® Workshop Certified Organizers in town for a boot camp. I told them that I had recorded the podcast with Gretchen Ruben and so they took the Four Tendencies quiz. We found out that the majority of them are Obligers. We also had a few Questioners in the mix, though I don't think we had any Rebels or Upholders.

So I think the majority of people who listen to my podcast are probably Obligers or Questioners. And as a Questioner myself, I know that being a Questioner is not an easy road.

Questioners are analytical.

I'm going to tell you about my questioning tendencies and how it relates to the Organize 365 products I develop. Instead of using the term Questioner, I've always said that I'm very analytical. So I think people who are very analytical are probably a Questioner on Gretchen Ruben's scale.

Also, I think your personality comes into play, because you can be a contrary Questioner or you can be a productive Questioner. I'm a productive Questioner. I question and I analyze so that I can get an end result or so that I can help others get an end result. That is my overarching questioning–ness. I question something to figure out how to solve a problem.

My ultimate goal as a teacher, educator, coach, motivator, parent, and human being is to solve problems and help people achieve the end result that they have for themselves. So I am a Questioner, an analyzer, in order to get you to the end result that you desire.

Obligers & Questioners

I think the majority of you up to this point have been Obligers, but in March I think I had some Questioners on the 100 Day Home Organization Program wait list! I got a couple of emails that asked, "Why are you making me wait? This is ridiculous. Here is my money, let me in please. Can I have the program? I don't want to wait a month." I literally got three of those emails in one week!

I do not promote the 100 Day Home Organization Program every day of the year. I promote it for ten days, three different times of the year, when I know you will have the best end result of jumping into it. Now, I analyzed this quite a bit. I do not need the external motivation that an Obliger needs.

My goal for Organize 365 is to get you to your desired end result which is an organized home. And as an educator, and a teacher, and an analyzer, I know that your best chance for success is to start in September, in January, and in April. You'll get as far as you possibly can because you'll be going with the natural energy of the year.

However, I know that doesn't work for everyone. And so in the future on the wait list page at the bottom, there'll be a button that says, "Can't wait, click here." If you just took that quiz and you're an Obliger, you wait until September and you start with everybody else. You will have so much more success with the 100 Day Home Organization Program if you're doing the weekly Facebook Lives and if you're in the Facebook Group because everybody is doing the same thing which will help you get to your end result of organizing your house.

The next round of the 100 Day Home Organization Program starts on MONDAY! And... I have opened registration for those of you who keep emailing trying to get in. :)

An Update On The Sunday Basket® Club

We started the Sunday Basket® Club because a bunch of you Obligers came to me and said that you needed to pay a monthly fee so you would do your Sunday Basket®. And you said you wanted a Sunday Basket® class. I want you to have excellent value when you put money into Organize 365. When you pay for something at Organize 365, I want you to say at the end, "Oh, my gosh, it was worth so much more than that!"

So, I price accordingly. I price for the value that is in the product, but I also price so that when you're done, you realize you got even more than you expected.

With the Sunday Basket® Club, I was going to do twice-a-month training sessions on how to organize your paper, which I started doing in January. But I quickly realized that people were joining in February and not getting January's "how to get started with organizing your paper." There's an order to it that was missing.

So… introducing the new Sunday Basket® Club! It's $99 a year. You can do the Sunday Basket® on Sundays with Monique and Ryan, and then every other Monday night, is a Facebook Live Q & A, just like in the 100 Day Home Organization Program. It's an opportunity for you to tell me what you want to hear by telling me what questions you have about your paper.

For Questioners, simplicity comes at the end when you've decided what the answers to your questions are. That's how we get simplicity. So go ahead, ask me all the questions you want in the Sunday Basket® Club!

I Want To Get You Results

We are constantly analyzing and tweaking. Part of why I say, "Progress, not perfection" is because as a Questioner, I know there's no perfect. If you give me something that's perfect, I'm going to question it.

I want you to get the best end result and that is why I do everything that I do. I want to give you all of the options so you can get the end result of getting your house organized. And sometimes, you see too many choices so you can't make a decision in order to get to your end result. I am trying to tailor my products to what you need.

So that's a sneak peek into how a Questioner thinks and why I make changes. Every change I make is to benefit you.

The 100 Day Home Organization Program hasn't changed in years. I am going to make it available on demand in the future, but I'm still going to do the launch model because that's what works for the majority of my audience.

Next week, we're going to dive into physical products and the highs and lows of creating them!

And there's still time to join me in Dallas, Texas for the Organize 365 National Convention on June 7-9, 2018! I can't wait to meet you and give you a BIG hug!
