What do you want from your business?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
International acclaim, gazillions of dollars and adoring fans.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n When do you want it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n NOW!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Um\u2026. *tumbleweeds*<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The easy bit of creating kickass goals is knowing what you\u2019d really want if all the pieces were to fall into place, all the planets were in alignment and y\u2019know<\/em> \u2013 you actually knew what the f*ck it was you were supposed to be doing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then comes the pen twiddling and the procrastination. Oooh looky here! I need to clean my shoe cupboard. Gosh! Tuesday already? Must take that old plastic basket to the recycling centre. Friday lunchtime? Barely worth starting anything \u2013 the kids will be home soon and everything\u2019s going to start getting a little C-R-A-Z-EEEEEE<\/em><\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ever wonder what you did with all your time when you were young, single and had no kids? Yeh\u2026 well that time isn\u2019t coming back any time soon \u2013 so here\u2019s what we\u2019re going to do to make our businesses work right here, right now with our right here, right now life going on all around us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The thing is \u2013 we can<\/strong> do this. We just need to be a little smart about this and plan it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Right at the start of all of this you need a healthy mindset which makes you confident and ready to go get \u2019em! <\/p>\n\n\n\n The first thing I want you to do is work out your kickass money goals. How much exactly do you want to clear in the next quarter, six months and year? I break my goals down per month and each revenue stream. One of my revenue streams is traditionally very quiet in July and August. That\u2019s OK, I plan for that and you won\u2019t find me in floods of tears at the slow numbers. Just the way that industry moves. At the same time, those are peak school holiday months for me \u2013 so I\u2019m not going to commit to spending every day with the laptop anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So get real about where and when your money is coming from. If you commit to earning $5000 in August but you know you\u2019ll be spending 3 weeks of that getting bitten by mosquitos halfway up a mountain somewhere then you\u2019re just setting yourself up to fail and feel crappy about it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t go crazy and say \u201cI\u2019m going to earn 250k in my first 3 months<\/em>\u201d. That\u2019s just unrealistic \u2013 I mean, wouldn\u2019t it be bloody amazing? Yeh\u2026 but 99.9% not gonna happen \u2013 and if you set yourself that crazy goal then all your small steps are going to actually be BIG steps and too scary and enormous to handle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Each of those money goals is coming from somewhere. Like du-uh. Stating the obvious right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Well what I mean is \u2013 if I for example say I need to make 10k selling websites and 5k selling courses then I need to break those pieces down further into 3-4 chunks of each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How will I get those website sales? Increase social visibility? FB ads? Content marketing? Webinars? Etc., etc. Of those 3-4 big chunks, these will need to be broken down further into manageable steps \u2013 especially when we\u2019re up against the clock and at 4pm the front door is flung open and the noise begins!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Selling a course: What topic? Format? Marketing? Etc. etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hopping back to what I said up there about commitments outside of our control such as school holidays, family holidays and all those other things which come along (dog to the vet I\u2019m talking to you!) \u2013 make sure your schedule aligns to the time you can commit aside running your own life \u2013 and the time you need to commit to complete the task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To control time rather than time controlling us \u2013 it\u2019s vital that we break things down into manageable slots. There have been times in the past where I\u2019ve not been able to commit to more than 5-10 minute tasks at a time but each one of those executed moved me further towards my goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Inaction achieves nothing \u2013 and tiny actions, even 5-minute ones will get you closer and closer to where you need to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When we decide on our big goals, income levels and streams and time commitments it can often be the easier part. I mean I love a good list. Give me a planner, some coloured pens and stickers and I can keep myself amused for hours.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s the actual doing of the actions which can be my undoing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Commit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To the tiny steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ve got this.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What do you want from your business?
