You are doing GREAT! Keep going….Set yourself up for success this week with your Small Business! Here are 5 simple steps to help you achieve your business goals this week!

1. Take time to set your weekly and daily goals.

  • Each Sundays or Mondays before you even start the week, spend a few minutes writing your business goals in the different areas of your small business: Sales, Marketing, etc…
  • Each Mornings before you start your day review your appointments and write your to do lists for the day.

2. Write down your SMART business Goals

  • Make sure you have written down your business goals and that you track them!
  • When goals are written down you are more likely to intellectually engage and connect with the result of the goal you want to achieve.

3. Focus on one thing & time yourself

  • Multi-tasking does not help us get more done. In fact, it only slows us down.
  • Focusing on one task at a time helps us sustain our concentration, which makes us way more productive and ultimately means we reach our goals a whole lot faster.

4. Track & Review your business Goals

  • Take the time each end of week and each end of day to track if you have accomplished your set business goals of the week or day.
  • Take time to understand how you can improve to reach your goals even better. Adjust.

5. Reward yourself & share your success

  • Rewarding yourself in simple ways for business accomplishments can go a long way.
  • Rewarding yourself for your business successes will in turn increase your motivation and your productivity.

Like with everything else – it takes time and practise to get there…so don’t give up if you don’t get it right the first time! Good luck and let us know how you get on this week :))) You can also download our FREE productivity checklist DOWNLOAD YOURS HERE

“You are WHAT YOU DO, not what you say you do.” – Carl Jung

This applies in business too!

Your business IS WHAT IT DELIVERS, not what is says what it delivers.

Did you know that “the number one reason why a customer leaves is because they feel like you don’t care about them. ” If you want to stand out, you need to rethink how you treat your customers.

You need to rethink how you treat your customers by delivering excellent customer service:

  • Respond as quickly as possible
  • Know your customers
  • Fix your mistakes
  • Listen to your customers
  • Think long term: A customer is for life

The excitement of a new month is real! Not only the hope of a new and fresh start or new wind of business project but also – Sept vibes too! Embracing the momentum of excitement is real but all serious business projects need careful evaluation and planning. Just like with sports, you should not rush into things! Preparation is the first stage of any business project whether it is a launch or a growth. So count to 3 …and read these “4 Mistakes to avoid with your small business”!

Here are few mistakes to avoid: Mistake #1 – rushing into business projects

Rushing into business projects without a strategy, planning or clear business goals is a no no. Your small business will not have identifiable business objectives. And without clear objectives you will be wasting precious time, money and resources! Having a clear business strategy is vital to have a clear vision for the future but also on the shorter term it will help you be focus on achieving your goals. This is exactly what we help our clients with with our 1:1 Strategy sessions.

Check out how CCJM Strategy sessions helped some of our clients. Mistake #2 – not taking action

So great ! Now you have a plan of action BUT lack putting it into action. Maybe you are being faced with a multitude of blocks such as lack of information, lack of confidence or lack of business experience etc… We talked about business procrastination over a podcast episode check it out here We also had an episode on Making the jump! where we are sharing the conversation I had with a fitness professional planning to take their business to the next level….explaining the whys of doing as opposed to learning/studying.

Mistake #3- sprinting

Running a business is a marathon not a sprint! The fire might become smaller and the hard work might start to feel real! Similar to the adrenaline numbing the fear and then suddenly it hits home!This is when perseverance & consistency comes into the picture. It might be extremely helpful to have a business coach or a business partner to be accountable to on a weekly or even monthly basis at that stage!

Mistake #4- give up too early

Just because it did not work the first time – it does not mean you should give up. The beauty of business is that we live in an ever changing eco-environment and the constant need to adapt to the market demand is real! A crucial part of your business project is evaluate, analyse – this is where the numbers / reports come into the picture & adjust your business strategy and planning. This is when you analyse the responses to your business offer and make the necessary adjustments to improve it or change it.
