I just got out of a VIP day with a client who was doing everything right — great product suite, great prices, great business plan. Yet they still weren't reaching their sales goals. All I could think was: "Why?" The answer? She was selling ALL of her services. If this is you, buckle up, because selling everything may end up with you selling nothing.

Okay, this episode was a fun one.

With my clients and with The Doers, we go through goals and break them down into a goal setting template on Google Sheets. That's just what works for us. What works for you may be completely different. What matters most is that when you go through your 2023 goals, you remember to break them down into specific, measurable steps. For me, I always break down my goals into 4 specific steps so that they go right along with my 4 quarters. In 2023, that's going to revolve around my new Zero Marketing public launch, product sales, focusing in on The Doers, and profit margins.
