Jennifer Hazlett over at SelfGrowth.com has five tips for those of you who own your own business (or know someone who does): (1) "Where are you now? List the services that you are providing, the
products that you are selling, the number of hours you work in your
business, and the number of hours you work on your business"; (2) "What are your goals? List the goals you wish to attain. We all
have a financial goal so write your specific money goal for the year and
the top 2 or 3 priorities that will get you there"."
More: (3)
"How are you going to get there? Work backwards from your
financial goal and identify the steps necessary to achieve it"; (4) "When are you going to do what's needed to achieve your goals?
Take your monthly and weekly goals to create your action plan"; and (5) "Who do I need help from to achieve my goals? List what tasks you
can no longer continue to handle. Consider outsourcing things like your
accounting to a bookkeeper and your technical and administrative tasks
to a Virtual Assistant to free up your time for the profit generating
tasks."
