16 Jun This post is from from my other blog here Ahhh … summertime. A time to relax, have a little fun, put your cares behind you … and worry about your business? It just seems harder to get things done when the weather is warm. It’s difficult staying indoors. It’s lighter outside longer. And it’s just fun playing instead of working. But every time you make a few positive moves, does it ever seem like you take a step back as well? Last week I made some great connections, and I have a lot of activities coming up in the next two weeks. I’ll be meeting with a group of bloggers, a group of podcasters, taking on several new clients, and speaking to a group of wedding professionals in a teleclass with Marc Fuller. At the same time, I have several new products/services that need to be put online, and a variety of client work that needs to be finished. What can you do to make sure it all gets done? 1. Take out a sheet of paper and write down your priorities. I do this at the start of each week - and I modify it on a daily basis. I place priority numbers along each task, and work on them in order of priority - not in order of my preference. I like to write, and if I ordered it in my preference, I would always be writing. But that wouldn’t do what’s best for my business. 2. Look at your tasks and break them down to a realistic goal. No, I can’t write a book in a week. But I can write 800 words per day, and complete (rough draft) a chapter a week. The more realistic you make your tasks, the more likely you’ll accomplish them. 3. Do three things a day to build your business. It could be sending an email to a potential client. Or talking with a complementary business owner about a new promotion. Or buying a mailing list for a postcard campaign. It’s all about marketing. What steps are you taking to move forward?
