Step two to achieving your dreams: Create a action plan

Step two to achieving your dreams is to create an action plan. Writing out goals is the easiest step to achieving your dreams it's the steps to get there that makes it a challenge.  When creating an action plan think about what it's going to take to achieve those goals what tasks will you do in order to reach those goals. For example if you have a goal of running a marathon what action steps would you take to achieve this goal? Possibly running daily, cutting out fast food or maybe even getting a running partner to keep you accountable. 

What is your action plan to achieve your goals? Write them out and visualize these goals becoming reality.

Money Monday: Dream Board

Money Monday's biz tip is to create a dream board. 

  Creating a dream board will help you stay motivated! The reason I say to create one is because running a business is not easy and at times we feel like giving up and saying forget about it. I believe if the dream is big enough the drive will be there! The dream board will remind you why you get up at 5 am to get to that meeting, why you stay up late because you have a child and still have emails to return, it will remind you why you have to keep moving forward! Here is a picture of mine :)

Money Monday's Biz Tip

Are you still doing the same thing you were doing 5 years ago?!?!

If you're still doing the same thing as you were 5 years ago then you're going out of business. I say this with confidence as I have seen many "small business" flourish when they started and then once technology started to become more and more popular and important if the small business didn't adapt to the new tech world it would simply go out of business. Example people don't use phone books; news paper, snail mail like they used to; these days people are using email, internet and social media to communicate and advertise...

Time to try something new! There are so many ways to quickly adapt to the new age advertising and business models... Here are a few example

SOCIAL MEDIA...
Facebook adds: You can pay for simple adds that will target a specific group of people from age, gender and so on.

Youtube: A great way to do viral videos and create a face to face approach with out actually being face to face. I love youtube personally here is my channel check it out to get an idea...My Youtube Channel

As I said in the last Biz Tip it's important to pick one social media and master it then add another one.

E-MAIL...

This is a great way to create a following and provide information for your customers. It will allow you to have customers "opt in" your email system and avoid spamming your customers.  This is very important when building a email list you will be rated well on search engines if you have a good rep with consumers when emailing newsletters. There are so many programs to use; but I use Aweber for my email campaigns and newsletters.

These are just a few great ways to adapt to the new age business communications.  

Please comment below if you have questions I'd be happy to skype or email anytime!

Always be aware of the new technology and keep your business up to speed!!!

Biz Tip of the Day: Pick a social media

So you own a business and now you're ready to get online... Don't get overwhelmed about all the different social media outlets... Pick ONE and master it then when you're ready add to the one outlet you picked. For example I love facebook so I started there and created a fan page (see video below to learn how to create a fan page) once I started to promote and add valuable content to my page for my fan I just grew from there. Then I learned about blogging and I love to blog I do it on a daily basis now.

The most important thing is to create a habit of mastering one social media outlet posting on a daily basis; I can not stress enough how important it is to create the habit of posting on a regular schedule... There are so many social media outlets: facebook, youtube, twitter, blogging and many others. 

What is your social media outlet you're going to focus on for your business??
