Getting Your Business Off To A Great Start

In this episode, of Startup Daddy I talk about some things you can do to get your business off to a great start in the coming year.

  • I cover the 3 Words exercise started by Chris Brogan, where you pick 3 words that will frame your year. If you pick three words, please drop them in the comments below.
  • I talk about Mailstrom, a tool that in their words, puts you back in control of your inbox — power through thousands of messages in just a few clicks. I tried it out, and Mailstrom did help me get my inbox under control. Give it a try.
  • Archiving and backing up your important data

    Great to have you back! My three words are:
    1. Clarity: Getting clear on exactly what I want to do and what I want to Accomplish.
    2. Focus: Avoid distractions, stay on task, and finish what I start.
    3. Relax: Take time for myself, my family and friends, don’t take myself to seriously  and      have fun while at work and at play.

    I use Google drive to back up most of my data and also use Evernote premium to store and organize a lot of my paperwork, notes, and ideas.

    I will check out Mailstrom sounds interesting.
    Great podcast,I always find one or two things that are helpful.
    Thanks,

    Bill Malizia

      Hi,
      It looks like the email newsletter signup form dropped off the sidebar here. Sorry about that. I’ll get that fixed asap. Meanwhile, just go to the home page and sign up for the newsletter to get an email with the Business Plan templates download link.
      Thanks,
      Ian
