Planning for the future is tricky. We don’t know what the future holds, where your business is going to go, or what opportunities will present themselves. This is a great way to start - first by reflecting back, then looking forward in your business, to envision how you foresee 2019 playing out. We're one week out from BizChix Live, and it’s time to start planning for next year. This is episode will get you focused on the CEO level work you need to be doing to reflect and plan for the coming year. You can follow along with your free downloadable worksheet as I guide you through the steps to get started with your 2019 plan. Step 1: Reflect on your business. Step 2: Reflect on your schedule. Step 3: Decide on some changes for 2019. Step 4: Look at 2019 globally. Step 5: Do some goal setting. It’s time to start creating a year that you want to live. Take this chance to design the business that is best for you. Remember, running a business is a marathon, not a sprint. Every moment of your time does not have to be filled with work. You can take time off to do something to refresh yourself. I believe 2019 can be our best year yet together, so get planning!
