In my previous blog post I listed a few things you’ll want to be planning for if you’re serious about building your business next year, here are more suggestions.
• Is your web presence currently able to support all that you need to do
• Do you have enough streams of income in place or which to start
• What is your system for getting support
• How will you stay motivated
• How will you invest in yourself; in which coach or mentor
• What is your plan for self care and sooooo much more….
I hate to see it when small business owners have to go back and get a J.O.B. or struggle basically to survive trying to do what they love..yet they really have no idea what they’re doing to grow their business. It’s a shame that most entrepreneurs like this won’t invest in their own learning or coaching so that they can learn what it takes to run a smooth-running, money-making business that they’re passionate about.
We spend money to go to school, college or trade school to learn what it is we’re supposed to ‘do’ for our life yet we won’t invest in ourselves as entrepreneurs to learn what we need to do to more effectively run and grow our businesses.
That seems kind of silly to me??
My parents spent a ton of money on my formal business education and I had jobs that stemmed from that…but I was meant to be an entrepreneur not an employee. And everything I learned about running my business and being an entrepreneur I learned from other people in my field who were doing what I was doing and who were ahead of me and who taught me what to do specifically to accelerate my learning curve.
So, as the CEO of your business, I say it’s time to take your business seriously and:
• set up a big picture plan (get help if you need to to see what’s possible)
• set up systems and implementation strategy to put that plan into action
• invest back in yourself and your business for continued learning and coaching
• always think about ‘what’s next’
I hope this gives you some things to think about but just don’t sit there and THINK about them, do something about them!
Remember, to get a plan in order to get a more specific and targeted approach to your marketing and business growth. It’s often times hard to see what’s possible for yourself however, we can only think as big as our minds have been conditioned to think.
What if there is more out there for you? What if there is an easier way to do what you’re passionate about AND make more money?
