Stepping into a new decade! Questions as you Plan. Do. Track

1/3/2020

Welcome to 2020. It’s not only a new year, but a new decade. It’s a great opportunity to crack that spine on your new planner and dive in. Ready to get started?

What are your goals this year?
Take a few minutes to write them out.
As you write things down, also consider these questions:

What do you need, and who do you need, in order to be successful?
What’s going to help you attain that goal?
How can you lean into your strengths?
What might get in the way?

What’s going to make these goals visible? One of the success factors I heard at the end of the 2020 was that having a one-page copy of their annual vision on the wall was a critical success factor. It helped when making decisions, prioritizing, and making adjustments.
What would magnify them? Are these goals really a stretch? What would double them? 10X them? 100X them? While stretch goals can be an encouragement to some, note that they may be a discourager to others.
Who are you going to share your goals with? We know that the act of public accountability often ups the ante around what we are committed to doing. It can sometimes light a spark, or add oxygen to a smaller ember.
Finally – TRACK. Where are you starting your year? What are your metrics – revenue, inventory, followers, subscriptions, etc.

Take a few minutes today to note your starting point and be sure to leverage the power of the Monthly Daily Trackers if you have a copy of PlanDoTrack or Coaching Business Builder.

I’m looking forward to bringing you another year of weekly blog posts related to business development and growing your coaching business.

We take a look at many of these topics in greater depth at the Coaching Biz Growth Lab – a group that meets annually on Fridays from 3 – 4 pm ET (usually the 1st and 3rd weeks of the month). 1st call for 2020 will occur on Friday January 10th. Hope you'll join us this year!

Enjoy!
