And guess what... when I started planning, I knew exactly what steps to take in order to reach my goals.   Now if you’re still in the first few years of your business, the thought of creating a 10 year plan might feel overwhelming.   I understand, I know how much there is to learn and do as you’re starting out. At the same time, I know that if you take the time to create a 10 year plan, it’s going to be so much easier to reach your goals and to know exactly what to focus on in your business right now.   The truth is that most people fail in the first couple years of business. Most people aren’t prepared for how difficult or expensive it can be to build a business.   And while there will be challenges and failures, there will be frustrations and moments of doubt, it is absolutely possible for you to build a profitable business that you love.   I know you have big goals for your business and I want to help you reach them, so on this week’s episode of the podcast, I’m starting out by talking about four things to focus on in your first year of business for a much better chance of success.    If you’re a little further along, you’ll also want to listen in because I’m talking about some of the most common mistakes I see business owners making that keeps them from building a profitable business. It might be that making one of these changes is all it takes for your business to be more profitable and to flow with greater ease. Finally, we’re talking about how to create a simple 10 year plan that supports your vision and makes your goals seem more do-able. While it doesn’t take much time to create this plan (I’ll walk you through every step on this episode), having this plan is going to help you know exactly what to prioritize and focus on each year of your business.   When you join me for episode 39, we’re going over practical steps as well as key mindset shifts that are going to support you in building your profitable business.
