The Dog That Didn't Bark
A few weeks ago, after consultations with others in an association I represent, I made a partnership pitch to another organization with similar interests. If the idea comes to fruition, it will radically change our organization.So, you can imagine my impatience when I didn't hear back from the person to whom I'd made the proposal. She had welcomed the idea, but a decision would be made by a council within her organization.Given the dynamics of an important decision about the

In the Client Abundance coaching programs, we work on implementing several strategies that are designed to PULL your business forward, almost effortlessly. One of those strategies is creating a powerful vision for your business. My private clients have found this exercise to be both motivating and inspiring, and I'm certain you will too.

Once a year, I take a short retreat to work on revising my vision for my business (and my life). This is an annual break I take away from my business (but with my family, although some of my clients prefer to go it alone, which is perfectly fine) to really think about and decide what I want the next 1 to 3 years to look like. I write my vision and I create a whole bunch of goals for my business. I also use this time to talk with my husband about my vision and goals. He is a great sounding board for all the ideas I come up with... and we usually have this conversation while hanging out on the beach... :)

Being near the water definitely has some powerfully positive effects on my brain, and I always come away from this retreat with a renewed sense of energy and passion for my work. (Here I am on last year's retreat in the Turks and Caicos.)

Creating a powerful vision is your first step on your path to achieving your own business success. Knowing where you are going will make the journey that much easier and faster, as well as simply more enjoyable. So, let's get started...

Step 1: Book your retreat
Book a 2-3 day retreat so that you can work intensively on your detailed 1 to 3 year vision. Get a very clear picture of where you intend to be 3 years from now. Book the time to do this. Make the commitment.

I have booked the following dates for my vision retreat:________________.

Step 2: While on your retreat, answer the following questions:
What do you want your life to look like in 3 years?
What is your inspiring and compelling vision for the future?
For your business? For your personal life?

The truth is: You CAN design the perfect life and you CAN design the perfect business. How does it sound to you to be earning 6-figures a year, working 40 weeks a year, 3-4 days a week? Inviting? This is not a dream - it is achievable. It won't happen overnight, but - with some planning and hard work - it can be a reality sooner than you think.

So, the ultimate question is: "If we were meeting here in 3 years time, and looking back over the previous 36 months, what would have to have happened to you both personally and professionally for you to be satisfied with your progress?"

A few notes:

You don't have to go (far) away to go on your retreat. Go wherever you feel most creative and inspired, and where you are least likely to be interrupted.

Ebooks - How Effective is Article Marketing in Promoting Ebooks?

Unfortunately, you are not getting any orders for your book.Perhaps you have even purchased a traffic generation manual that guarantees you thousands of visitors everyday. Maybe you have even started using some of the techniques in the manual. Maybe you are getting traffic, but still no sales.Th

How to Create a Superior Marketing Database
Do you maintain a dedicated marketing database of customer and targeted prospect information? If not then you need to begin to put this in place immediately. Any business can only market intelligently when it is armed with vital contact information. In fact - outside of tangible business assets such as property, machinery and stock, your marketing database is the most valuable asset. If you ever plan to sell your business one of the first things a potenti

Newsletter as A Marketing Tool
Trying to think of a way to promote that new product or service that your company recently introduced? Why not try to use a promotional newsletter? Sure a lot of businesses already use it. But it is still a great marketing tool for that new product or service you want everyone to know. You just have to think of a new way on how to introduce that product to your prospective customers and loyal customers.A promotional or marketing newsletter is used by businesses who wants to promote

Put On Your Leaders Hat And Watch Their Attitude Change
People are the biggest cost to any organisation and their performance has a direct impact on your bottom line. The most successful organisations are the ones that can get the people right and in turn get the culture right. It’s not enough to have the right products or services you need the right people with the right attitude!Let’s face it, not all staff have attitudes that are productive. So how do you change their attitude? You start by changing yours. If you change your attitude

Before you begin to write, close your eyes and really see in your mind's eye how you want your entire life to be. For example, see your dream home. Is it a large home or something more cozy? Do you live on the ocean or near the mountains? Or are you in a fantastic apartment in the middle of NYC? Write about it in detail - and don't hold back! Do the same for your business: Do you want a waiting list of clients? Or do you want to stop working one-on-one and move to working with groups only? Do you want to implement at least three new streams of income? Do you want to write your first print book? Do this for all the other parts of your life as well - for the tangible things (like your home, your car, your vacations, etc.) to the intangible (like who you want in your life, how you will give back, etc.).

Get the picture? Once you have written your vision, I promise you'll be really excited and motivated towards making that vision your reality!

Big printing companies used to dictate to their clients how they would do their print job and how long it would take. You can forget this, printing like most products are now consumer driven.

There's a common theme brewing in TV's Apprentice, both Donald Trump's version and the new Martha Stewart edition. And it's one that most small business owners and entrepreneurs should pay attention to. Because while The Apprentice candidates could use it to save their jobs, business owners can use it to save their business from failure.
