Mid December- We are all working like mad to STOP and spend
time with our loved ones.
As you look at the calendar we are just a couple of weeks
from 2012!!!
I am always surprised by this very small window from Thanksgiving to the year end holidays, a flurry of people, food, and family. It’s stressful!!!
ESPECIALLY when you have to stretch your dollars even further than before.
I am always surprised by this very small window from Thanksgiving to the year end holidays, a flurry of people, food, and family. It’s stressful!!!
ESPECIALLY when you have to stretch your dollars even further than before.
What can you do to prepare for the holidays without spending
much or ANY money at all?
1)
Grab your calendar or smart phone and a note book (or your
computer)
Start going backward month by month
and begin listing the big projects you worked on.
You are pulling together your list of
accomplishments, which you can then compare to your list of goals. Each big projects and achievements
should be either achieving a goal or a stepping stone toward accomplishing a big goal.
2)
In a separate column list the names of new people you met
in relation to your creative business each month. I don’t mean the 100s of facebook “friends” who you don’t
really know, , I mean the people
that have referred work to you,
Hired you for a project, or introduce you to important people that have
helped you this year.
3)
Drop the people on this list a email or call Just connect to
say thanks for working with me! Or let’s have coffee and talk about what you
have been up to... *Have these
individuals already been invited to join your email or newsletter? (you can just
include a sign up link in your signature line, and leave them the option to
join).
PLAN + GROW + NETWORK = MOVE FORWARD
Measuring your success and growing your network of contacts are
two important tasks for all business owners. Do you need help with a upcoming project? or need help getting organized,
focused and moving forward?
