It’s August 25th or 26th—depending on where you are in the world.
Four months (almost) left in this calendar year, and September is usually the time when we all reawaken and step on the gas to reach our business objectives.
So as you accelerate, these are some things to see in your rearview mirror:
- Summertime relaxation
- Doubt
- Inaction about marketing and selling
- Operating without a plan and revenue forecast
- A lack of methodology about how to get customers…and belief you can find them
- Flying by the seat of your pants
- Planning to plan the plan about the plan
- Waiting for “everything” to be ready
If those are the things that are now or soon behind you, here are the things dead ahead that you can see out your front window:
- Autumn acceleration and purpose
- Belief in yourself and what you can accomplish when you put your mind to it and your head down
- Effective action in your marketing and selling
- Confidence…and a plan…to get and keep customers
- A weekly plan (on the calendar) to call customers for appointments, sales meetings and sales (put September 19th on your calendar, and I’ll tell you more shortly)
- A simple…brief…plan to get you to reach the money you want by December 31st
- Action every day of every week of every month because it brings you to your aspiration—shedding that unloved j-o-b, making more money, having money for the things you want, retiring when you envision, succeeding in delivering the things you’re great at that can change people’s lives
Similar to what we discussed last week, the time has come to put away some things you are doing to pick up your opportunity—to find more customers, master how to market, increase business sales, and live the life you want.
Happy September…almost.
Go forth and do great things,
Martha and Chris
P.S. Mark September 19th on your calendar, and we’ll share more very shortly. Oh…come on…just do it.
