Is it already half way through the month of March ?!

 











Wow is it already half way through the month of March ?!

  • How is your business project developing so far?

  • Are you on track with your business start or growth?

  • Did you manage to work on the areas of your business you wanted to these first weeks of March?


We shared at the beginning of the month of March four mistakes to avoid when running your small business.

It might be an idea to revisit them if have not quite accomplished your business goals so far this month...

Just like in sports, you should not rush into things! Preparation is the first stage of any business projectwhether it is a launch or a growth. So count to 3 and read this!













Here are few mistakes to avoid:

Mistake #1 - rushing into business projects without a strategy, planning or clear business goals. This is exactly what we help our clients with our 1:1 Strategy sessions.
We evaluate the business' strenghts and weaknesses (SWOT analysis)
We outline clearly key steps needed to take to reach business goals (planning)
We also share and make recommendations for specific business systems and tools 
This is clearly laid out in a strategic plan. Check out how CCJM Strategy sessions helped some of our clients.

Mistake #2 - not taking action
Having a plan but not putting it into action or being faced with a multitude of blocks - lack of information - lack of confidence  - lack of business experience etc...
We talked about business procrastination  over a podcast episode check it out here
We also had an episode on Making the jump! where we are sharing the conversation I had with a fitness professional planning to take their business to the next level....explaining the whys of doing as opposed to learning/studying.

Mistake #3- sprinting
Running a business is a marathon not a sprint! The fire might become smaller and the hard work might start to feel real! Similar to the adrenaline numbing the fear and then suddenly it hits home!This is when perseverance & consistency comes into the picture. It might be extremely helpful to have a business coach or a business partner to be accountable to on a weekly or even monthly basis at that stage!

Mistake #4- give up too early
Just because it did not work the first time - it does not mean you should give up. 
The beauty of business is that we live in an ever changing eco-environment and the constant need to adapt to the market demand is real!
A crucial part of your business project is evaluate, analyse - this is where the numbers  / reports come into the picture & adjust your business strategy and planning. This is when you analyse the responses to your business offer and make the necessary adjustments to improve it or change it.

We hope these reminders will help you add whichever step is missing in your business project to help you start or grow your business.

What is the difference between a blog and a newsletter?

What is the difference between a blog and a newsletter? Blogging and newsletters are two effective online marketing tools that business owners can use to reach out to their audiences. However, many people are not sure what the difference between a blog and a newsletter is. In this blog post, we will explore the differences between blogs and newsletters and discuss which one is right for your business.  Blogs are generally used to share longer pieces of content, while newsletters typically contain shorter, more curated pieces of information. Blogs allow you to share your thoughts and ideas with your audience in-depth, while newsletters give you the opportunity to share links to your content as well as news and updates about your company.  Ultimately, the best tool for reaching your target audience depends on what type of content you want to share. To recap: 1. Newsletters are typically sent out monthly or bi-monthly, while blogs are updated more frequently 2. Newsletters usually contain
