“If we want to hear jingle bells ringing on the 24th, we need to set and live by goals…all year long!” - Santa Claus
Now is the time to rethink what you did in 2020.
How successful were you? Did you accomplish everything you set out to achieve?
Where did you go wrong, what did you do right? Did you have a plan; did you implement, follow, and modify your plan?
This coming year – I mean RIGHT NOW – develop a plan, DO SOMETHING!
No matter how thin the plan seems, take the time for yourself and the health of your business to develop a plan of action, please, consider these points:
This year I will do the follow:
- I will No Exceptions - take excellent care of my spiritual, mental, and physical health,
- I will develop a multiple tiered marketing strategy and work it without fail,
- I will do something quarterly to get new business - EVEN when I am busy,
- I will analyze my business regularly and review my numbers,
- I will stay or become fiscally responsible,
- I will fire the bad clients on my list, often,
- I will touch every good client, in some fashion, every month
- I will be diligent about thanking my vendors,
- I will be diligent about thanking my clients – OFTEN!
- I will look at every opportunity to be a contribution to everyone in my organization, my clients, peers, and my family and friends,
- I will ask more questions,
- I will listen more,
- Remember the first one – take care of YOU first! For the sake of everyone who depends on you!
Review your plan monthly – be honest with yourself, are you sticking to it?
Are you reviewing how you can be more proactive and productive?
In an interview at an ASI show I was asked ‘what can people do, marketing-wise, to grow their business?’ My reply was simple…”DO SOMETHING!”
Start now for next year, I have a plan and goals – how about you! You have to push to hear the bells ring!
Until next week, continued success, and the best in 2021 – we can do this!
