SMART Goals; Listing out your goals

Today's Tip - S.M.A.R.T. Goals; Listing out your goals

Once your Business Plan is in place you are ready to set up your S.M.A.R.T. Goals. Listing goals starts with your dream, or desired outcome. Example : I would like to be a professional comedian. Some S.M.A.R.T. Goals you could write down for this dream are as followed; • Start writing jokes, • Research comedy styles and comedians, • Workout routine on a stage, • Branding, Etc. Of course each of these goals would have smaller goals until your list was filled out nicely. A Hamburger is tasty, but a seasoned Hamburger with onions and lettuce are even more enjoyable.

Think of your list as a map directing you through your life. When you seem lost you can utilize your S.M.A.R.T. Goals to figure out where you are, should be, and are going. Taking a look at your goals daily are very helpful. Weekly is still a positive approach for those who need to step back to see a bigger / clearer picture. If you have written out your goals to only look at them once every few months you'll most likely lose track of your destination. Try setting your S.M.A.R.T. Goals on your refrigerator, or bathroom mirror, or even on the wall next to your computer.

Adding to your list is a good thing. When you find yourself stuck because you are behind, or you have forgotten something, the list is there to be reorganized as needed. Obviously your goal is to subtract items on your list through accomplishment. While you may delete goals you should always be adding newer ones. A S.M.A.R.T. Goal list rarely ever vanishes as you are always evolving, learning, and finding new information to set forth your destination. If you feel overwhelmed from your lists size then break it down into smaller sections.

Business Plan; But I am not a business

Today's Tip • Business Plan; But I am not a business

One of the essential rules of your Triangle is to “treat your life as a business”. In fact, this is side one. You may not be a business, but who has ever wanted to live their life in the red. Living in the red means that you are living above your means, or your expenses are eating away at your profits and you are making Zero dollars. When a business opens up they have their first year to find their footing into success. After that they are left with two more years to find a solid security in growth. Ultimately if you are not in the black by year three than you are a failing business.

While you may not be a business, your life should be your business. You want to live. You want your business (life) to strive and succeed. You want your actions and products (actions / ideas) to be fruitful and advantageous to your personal path. This all comes from treating your life as a business. Take responsibility in your options and opportunities. Even if you have a job working for someone else, that job is only a source of income that helps sustain your life (business). Budget your time, money, and income / outcome. Know what you spend and why you spend it.

How does a "Business Plan" really help with this? It gives you direction into your personal goals and ideals. Where, in your life, do you want to be in the next year, five years, and ten years? This is explored in your business plan. Look inward to your life and what you are or have been searching for. Learn to handle your actions as if it meant the fall or rise of your company. After all, it does mean the fall or rise of your life. Businesses have four levels to their foundation. They are only doing one of these; Struggling, Surviving, Growing, and Expanding. Which one is in your control? They all are.

Business Plan; Reason / Purpose

Today's Tip • Business Plan; Reason / Purpose

A Business Plan lays out the foundation for your Idea / Company / Project / Monetary Venture / or a Partnership. It is an understanding of your vision placed into sections to help best explain a formula for success. Most importantly, your formula for success. It also helps as a good barometer for when your company is already making headway yet you feel stuck or have possibly lost your way. It has bounds and leaps written out to show you where you should be going, and or be at any moment in your company's life.

What if you are a person who wants to just live their live and not start up a business? The truth is, you should be living your life like a business when possible. Who wants to live in the red? Our goal for financial freedom starts with living above expense. Keep your earnings high and your expenses low. This is exactly how a business survives. They budget their inventory / expenses / and income by working within S.M.A.R.T. Goals set through their business plan.

Since all individuals with, or without, a business should incorporate themselves to take advantage of the legal benefits of being a S Corp Entity, it is wise to set your Business Plan into action. Having a Business Plan is as easy as figuring out what money to place into a child's college fund, or a 401K, or even what to save, when to spend, and where you want to be in the next year, five years, and ten years of your life. People create Business Plans all the time in their heads. “I want to go to college. I need to get a grant by this time.” etc. Physically write out your Business Plan for maximum success.

Year One (1); Market, who are you and what do you have

Today's Tip – Year One (1); Market, who are you and what do you have -

“This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine.” And so as it is, Marketing is also one of your many weapons of success. There are many who market, but your marketing must be your own. It will have your branding, it will have your voice, it will have an image all its own. As with Networking, marketing is a valuable tool in your arsenal when it comes to making things happen.

Marketing your brand is more important than telling a person about your show, your new invention, book. When you create such a draw for your brand, then your bi-products will sellout. Whatever you are selling, people will want one if they truly love your brand. Geico sells insurance. Though, how many of you remember the caveman commercials they have and now their little mascot? Everyone of you. Geico is selling an image.

Once you believe in that image, Geico lets you know about their bi-product. You know, that insurance they sell. They have all kinds of insurance; Life, Car, House. And yet they are selling their brand over insurance first. Their brand sells the most important thing for Geico to survive, succeed and continue to grow: They sell their product which is their brand. Refocus your marketing strategy to incorporate your branding. Look into other companies for examples.
