It’s been my experience that most entrepreneurs miss a very important step when it comes to the success of their businesses: they fail to plan. When you are your business it’s extremely easy to get caught up in putting out the latest fire or being distracted by the newest email. (I’m so guilty of this one that I now turn my email off when I’m working on anything but email!)
It's been my experience that most entrepreneurs miss a very important step when it comes to the success of their businesses: they fail to plan. When you are your business it's extremely easy to get caught up in putting out the latest fire or being distracted by the newest email. (I'm so guilty of this one that I now turn my email off when I'm working on anything but email!) In order to really be on an energy track of pulling in clients and growing your business, you must plan.
Some professionals that I've chatted with actually boast about not having a plan. They love that they're self-employed and feel entitled to freedom. I agree with the love of freedom, but if you want to have a juicy, dripping with clients business, you must set yourself up for that (because then that's what you'll get). I'm not a big sports fan, but I really doubt that the tennis players that just wrapped up Wimbledon went in with an "ah-let's-just-wing-it" attitude. Is your life and business really worth less than a tennis-match? I'm going to say, NO!

How to Quit Wasting Time and Build a Business That Gives You More Freedom, Money and Energy!
Creating business that gives you more freedom, more money and more energy isn't about knocking out a BIGGER to-do list - it's about prioritizing what most needs your time, attention and energy first, then doing it.
