Plan ahead

set yourself up for a great september start!

When you run a small business, it's essential to plan ahead as much as possible. This is because you likely don't have the same resources as a larger company, so you need to be more strategic in how you use them. By planning months or even years ahead, you can ensure that your business is on track to reach its goals and objectives. You'll also be able to avoid potential pitfalls by anticipating any problems that may arise. 

Finally, planning ahead will help you stay organised and focused, which is crucial when running a small business. Running a small business is hard work and it can be unpredictable at times. If you don't plan ahead you can easily find yourself overwhelmed and struggling to keep up. By planning months in advance you can make sure you have enough time to do everything you need to do, without feeling rushed. This will help reduce stress and allow you to focus on your business. 

Additionally, by having a clear plan you will be better able to track your progress and identify areas where you need to make changes.

Having a plan for the next few months can help you stay on track and make sure you are making progress towards your goals.

Use September 2022 to implement these three initiatives and set yourself up for business growth in the next 16 months:

  1. Set your vision for 2022/2023. Focus on achieving something amazing. Don’t worry about your goals or how you are going to do it. You can do that a little later. 
  2. Revisit and refine your Ideal Client so you can set and improve your strategies. 
  3. Do your cash flow projection. 

Planning ahead is essential for small businesses, as it allows to make the most of your limited resources. By planning months in advance, business owners can ensure that they are on track to reach your goals and objectives. Additionally, by anticipating potential pitfalls, small businesses can avoid falling into these traps.

#hashtag and @tag

Are you confused between #hastag or @tags ? Here is some clarifications: On Facebook, Instagram and Twitter , the pound sign (or hash) turns any word or group of words that directly follow it into a searchable link.  This allows you to organise content and track discussion topics based on those keywords. So, if you wanted to post about social media for example, you would include #socialmedia  in your post to join the conversation.  You can click on a hashtag to see all the posts that mention the subject in real time. @Tagging people in social media photos can extend the reach of those photos, which is likely why some of us want to tag everyone and their brother – so to speak.  !!! But be careful with tagging people who are not actually in the photo. It could be considered spam or at least annoying. !!! only tag people in photos – no matter the network (Instagram, Facebook and Twitter all allow it) – when people are actually in them. Hope these clarifications help 😎😎😎 Keep it real !

We have been there. Done it and it did not work for us. FOCUS FOCUS FOCUS is the answer to productivity. We also agree that doing too much all the time will put our mind and body in a biological state of stress which in turn will eventually prevent us from using our brain or other physical functions at their fullest capacity.  Less Stress = better productivity We would also add that looking after one's physical body from the inside out (dealing with internal
