Give Your Home or Office Some Botox
This time of year we think a lot about our bodies. Look at your home. Is it physically fit, too?
Seriously, park your car across the street and approach your home or office at the front entrance, the way a doctor would approach a patient. Symptoms like spider webs, weeds and fingerprints can appear from nowhere. Are the outdoor lighting fixtures clean? Has ground cover splashed up on the ground level siding? And take down the Christmas lights now…..yes, they do show from the street! Cigarette butts are disgusting even if they aren’t yours. Concrete mold is dangerous when it gets damp and slippery.

A shoddy entrance suggests a lazy resident. You could be the nicest person or the smartest professional, but your visitors may not be able to get past your peeling paint. The entrance to your home or office is the first impression you make on guests, so take advantage of this first opportunity and shine.
Next go inside and take digital photographs of every room from every corner. Like a body scan, a room scan can show trouble spots. Print out all the photos, group them by room and check for problems areas. Make a list of the things that are missing, prioritize that list and get to work.
