“Entrepreneurs can be a bit scattered in their ‘just get er done’ mentality,” he said from experience.

I think you know who I’m talking about. If you own a business, you are likely going a hundred miles an hour, making decisions on the fly and, if you’re like me, organizing all of the important stuff in one place – your head.

That’s why when Mark Gavagan sent me a copy of his workbook, The Affairs Organizer, I thought this is a tool every entrepreneur should know about. (It’s great for any family really, but I see the business application clearly)

This book is an easy-to-use, comprehensive tool for organizing your life and getting your business, personal, and financial affairs in order. If something happens to you, you’ll spare those you love from endlessly searching for important documents & assets and trying to piece together all of your vast and varied business commitments.

My wife and I are celebrating our 25th Anniversary this month and, although this is a rather unromantic way to celebrate, documenting this kind of info is one of the most thoughtful gifts I can give her. (Don’t worry I got her a really cool tandem bike too – but don’t tell, it’s a secret.)
