Inspiring Local Success - March 2011
It’s
already March… are you on track for making this year your best year yet?
If not,
it’s not too late! But, do you know what your best year yet would look like?
Imagine it
– what does your business look like on December 31, 2011, in your best year
yet? Who are your clients, customers, or patients? Imagine how pleased they are
with your services and products. Imagine their many referrals and testimonials.
Who are your employees? No employees? Do you have virtual assistants,
accountants, interns, freelancers, etc. – people you can count on, so you can
focus on the core of your business? What are your new levels of revenue and
profit? How are networking or marketing your business?
Imagine how
your business will look! Have you
expanded your products or services? Have you focused on your current offerings
and built more powerful relationships with your current customers? Have you
moved your physical office? Are you more organized and efficient?
When you
have a vision of your best year yet, write it down, draw pictures/diagrams, and
jot down ideas about how you see it happening. Then, create an outline that
details what needs to happen starting today to create that vision over the next
9-10 months!
If you have
employees, a partner, even freelancers or interns, share your vision with them;
share it with passion. Listen to feedback and ideas about creating action steps
for success. Working together with your team to create goals, timelines, and
accountability will not only help keep the focus on achieving goals, but will
also help them feel empowered in creating success for themselves and their role
on the team.
On your
own? Consider your own advisory board or share with a trusted friend or advisor
or find a colleague and give mutual support. Share this process with them as
they create their vision and outline. Be sure to seek out someone with similar
values about business and life so you have a common ground.
Then, set
up an accountability schedule. At least twice a month, get together and review
your progress, talk about successes, brainstorm ideas for overcoming obstacles,
modify the goals or timeline if needed.
This
process is not easy and it takes time. But this investment of time and energy
has the potential for huge dividends at the end of your best year yet!
