"Hello, my name is Melissa Schenk, and on behalf of Expert Villge, today we're going to talk about how to organize your business documents. In our first set, we need to, of course, get organized. We're organizing our business documents, so you need to get organized. So, in order to start that off you might want to grab your trusty clipboard or a pen and a pad of paper. But what you need to do is to make a list, make a list of all of the different things you need to be thinking about and organizing. Whether it is for work or for home, it doesn't make a difference, you still need to be organized. You could be working out of a home office or your own office. Your business documents could be for your personal needs or for your work needs. So you need to make a list. In later clips we're going to talk about filing cabinets for instance. If you're going to get a file cabinet, you're going to need to know how many folders do you need to go and buy. So, by making a list of all the different subject headings your going to want, you're going to be able brainstorm. Later you might add to it or subtract from it, but you need to have a starting point. It is so important to have a starting point. So, by jotting down everything on paper, it makes it a little bit more tangible and easier to look at and something to work with, and at least gives you that start off at a ground level."
