I started understanding that my problem was not disorganization. I finally phoned a friend and said, "Becca, please explain to me why you love this tool." And just by hearing her talk, the light bulb started to go off. But in 2013, I was introduced to Evernote. So, if you can relate to this, I want you to know this was my life for about 17 years. So, I would throw them into a shoe box and be stressed every tax year trying to figure out what my expenses were for the year.
And the worst part of my year was always tax time because I had no system, no organizational plan of how to handle tax receipts. So, I had piles of door prize slips, and sales receipts, and catalogs. You know, of course back then most things were done with paper and not digitally. You could never see my desk and hardly see my floor. And I really truly felt chaotic for many years in my first business. You want to feel calm and confident instead of cluttered and chaotic. You know, I was accomplishing things, but I never I felt that feeling of peace. I couldn't keep up with the post-it notes with all the to-do lists. Of course, I'm raising my family, I'm running a business and I just could never seem to keep up. And for the first 17 years, I always say I was busy, I was blessed, but I was frantic and frazzled most of the time. And I actually had that business for 20 years. So, prior to 2013, I was a stay-at-home mom who was running a home-based business. Well, I'm going to start off by sharing a little bit about my story, especially if we are meeting for the first time. So, what is so magical about Evernote and why do I feel that every business owner needs this tool?
