This week, we’re diving into part 4 of the 5-step process to plan for independent business success in the next 12 months.
In this series, I walk you through an effective process you can use to create the best year you have ever had in your independent consulting business.
- In part 1 (episode 092), we focused on assessments. I shared a formula to assess the past 12 months of your consulting business so that you would have a clear and accurate baseline from which to set goals for the next 12 months.
- Part 2 (episode 093) was all about goal setting. I shared a unique approach you can take to set intentional goals, specifically for your independent consulting business, for you as an owner and five things you want to avoid during this process.
- Part 3 (episode 094) I walked you through creating your 12-month action plan by breaking down your goals into yearly, quarterly, monthly, weekly, and daily tasks.
Listen in as I share why hitting obstacles in your business is healthy, how to identify possible obstacles in your business, and how to navigate through them.
