Make time to work ON your Business!


Make time to work ON your Business!


 I have client, a retailer who worked five days a week in his business. When we met four years ago, I asked, “When do you work on your business?”
My new client gave me a puzzled look and asked, “Don’t you think I do work and should work every day at (in) my business?”  I explained that working in or at the business wasn’t the same as working on it — doing things that didn’t involve retail sales, but that set the scene for greater success.
I told my client to set aside one day a week for a month and not go into the store, but work on his business from his home office. He did, and after the third week the company’s books were up to date, new marketing plans and activities were researched and planned, and progress was made on developing an Employee Handbook.
My client had a classic “Aha! moment”:  “Now I see why working on my business is so important.” Since that schedule change, this client’s annual revenues have almost tripled, and he has time to plan and move the company forward.

I recommend that every business owner spend at least 5 hours a week (a full day is better) working on his/her business.
It’s not always easy, but if you call Walt, he will help you find the time for this business-building practice! 727-647-8242.

Getting Your Business Ready for 2015

The last quarter of each calendar year is filled with so many holidays, family activities, and parties that you probably wonder, “How do I find the time to plan?” or “How can I plan when I don’t know what my business results are for this year?” 
Here’s a suggestion: Plan a 4-hour business retreat!
Schedule this retreat away from your normal work schedule so you can think and plan without distraction. By late 3rd or early 4th quarter, you should know how your business is shaping up for the year, what goals you should set, and the steps required to reach them.
Ask yourself: If money were no object, what kind of business do I truly want? Include personal as well as business goals. It’s the starting point of your New Year Business Vision.
Write your three-year vision. It doesn’t have to be carved in stone. You may revisit and revise it as your plans change over time, but it should give you an idea of where you’re headed.
Create measureable goals for the first 90 days of the coming year. Your first quarter sets the tone for your
entire year, so you want to start it off right!
Make a list of categories that are important to you. They can include Family, Business, Monetary, Fitness, Social, Intellectual, Spiritual, etc. Then, set 3 goals for each category that you can reach easily in 90 days.
Plan your large business expenses for the coming year. These could be workshops you plan to attend, events that you want to sponsor, a Customer Appreciation event, office equipment, software, etc.
Map your year on a calendar. Include review dates for your quarterly goals, marketing goals, travel, vacations, profit generation, etc.
Be patient. A business planning retreat can be very empowering. During my annual trips to visit family in New England, I set aside 4 hours in a quiet place for my own retreat. If you’re like me, you’ll find this mini retreat will recharge you and build confidence in your business and yourself as you move into the New Year.
 
If you’d like specific tips on how to plan for the coming year, contact me by phone at 727-647-8242 or via email
at waltmorey@corebizsolution.com  and I’ll help you develop an outline to keep you focused.
