Why You Have To Write Your Business Goals Down

7 Day Challenge Business Planning to Rock Your Year, Tips and Tools
Throughout this short little series on setting business goals, I’ve mentioned the importance of writing said goals down. That isn’t just because it’s easy to forget. There’s a lot more to it and there are some very important reasons why you have to write them down.

How To Work Backwards To Set Your Business Goals

How To Work Backwards To Set Your Business Goals

7 Day Challenge Business Planning to Rock Your Year, Tips and Tools
Today I want to share my thinking process for setting smart business goals with you. I like to work backwards from a financial goal all the way down to daily to-do lists. Every smart business goal should be quantifiable, as in have a specific number attached to it. In this way, you can measure your success rate, and see what and if you need to tweak your approach. So here’s how that works: It always starts with a money goal. Because let's face it, business success is tied to revenue, pure and simple. It helps if that goal has a meaning beyond the dollar figure. This helps to keep us motivated on the end goal! No time to read the full post? Listen on the podcast: Lesson 4: How To…

Increasing Traffic, Subscribers & Customers To Boost Your Bottom Line

7 Day Challenge Business Planning to Rock Your Year, Marketing Strategy
We're all in business to make a profit. Making money is not a topic that's talked about ENOUGH with small business owners. After all, the spotlight is often shining on how many followers and likes you can get on social media. Or how many times you go LIVE on Facebook every week. All of this talk about social media follower counts is focused on ego-driven metrics. We need to shift the dialogue to focus on CONVERSIONS, which lead to the one thing your business needs to stay in business: INCOME. There is little reason to be in business if you are not generating an income. All of the altruistic energy in the world will not keep your refrigerator stocked and your lights on. So we're going to live in the…

Why Business Planning Is The Secret To Success For The Coming Year

7 Day Challenge Business Planning to Rock Your Year, Tips and Tools
Do you set aside time regularly to plan what you want to do in your business? If it’s not something you currently do, I strongly encourage you to embrace it for the remainder of this year! Setting aside a business planning session to decide what I want to do and, more importantly, what growth I want to achieve in the coming year has been crucial to my own success. Sometimes I commit to (and follow through lol) planning at the end of the year for the upcoming year. Other times, life gets in the way and I don't get to plan when I want to. IMO, it doesn't matter when you plan, as long as you make time to plan. So, we're making time over these next 7 days, together.…
