Business Planning for a Successful 2013

I hope you are enjoying your Sunday! I was overwhelmed by the response I received after sending my last email to this amazing community.  There are so many of you out there doing incredible things!  To those who have hit reply to talk back or ask a question, I thank you. I know I still owe a few of you a response, but I am here and I do respond to each email personally.  There are some things I believe you should never outsource.

If you have been subscribed to this newsletter for a long time, you know I have not been active here for the last while.  That is about to change. Starting now. This is about to become a weekly newsletter.  Each Sunday, I’ll be sharing some of the techniques that I am using to grow my business and my thoughts about things that will hopefully help you grow yours.

You see, I’m like you.  Whatever stage you happen to be at in the starting or growth of your business, I’ve been there.  From startup, success and sell-off, to crash and burn and epic failure, I’ve been there. I struggle with balancing the need to get my work done, with the desire to spend time with my family.  It was our daughter’s birthday this weekend, and though I hoped to get this done and out by first thing Sunday morning, it’s a bit later because I prioritized family time in this case.

Setting priorities is a huge part of the success puzzle.  So is setting goals and making actionable plans.  ‘Tis the season for that isn’t it?  This is the time of year folks like you and me reflect on what worked an didn’t for the past year, and what we want to accomplish in 2013.

I’m going to talk more about about that in the coming week.  I’m also going to start podcasting again.  It’s a lot of work but I really miss doing it so I’ll be making this newsletter and podcasting, a priority in the coming year.

So if a weekly newsletter with a peek behind the scenes of how I run and grow my business, and a conversation about the trends that impact all of us growing businesses appeals to you, you’re all set.  Get ready to pour a cup of coffee, or tea, or whatever you like, and join me each Sunday.

If that’s not your thing, that’s quite okay too.  I know there are a portion of you that only signed up to get access to the free business plan templates. That’s great! I hope you use them to create successful companies.  Just hit the unsubscribe link at the bottom of this (and every) email right now.  Don’t ever let your inbox get filled with information you don’t want.  Please don’t ever let me be that to you. Go do good things. No hard feelings. Really.

For the rest of you that are still here with me, Thank you.  Let’s continue the journey, and this conversation together.   See you next Sunday!
