Can You Transform Your Business in the Next 30 Days?

You probably have heard that it takes at least 21 days to change a habit and that only 3% of people actually write out goals and these are the top achievers. It all depends on how bad you want to make the change. Change may mean you have to be more disciplined, more dedicated to planning your business strategy, and self-motivated and focused to create results. You need to devise a business strategy.

Here are 5 steps to help create the transformation:

1. What are two of your top business goals that you would like to achieve in the next 30 days? Write them down.
2. Break these goals into manageable pieces. What do you need to be, do, or have to make this happen? Ink it on paper. You may choose mind-mapping or the traditional to-do list.
3. Look at your list or mind-map. Is there anything on it that you could delegate to a team member? Consider hiring a virtual assistant then do it. Imagine if there are 2-3 or three people helping you do what you do. What could you achieve if you freed up some time?
4. Print out a blank calendar template. Write out what small steps you will take for the next 30 days. Remember to be consistent. Avoid saving your steps for one big day as you may become overwhelmed and lose your motivation.If your plan is a social media strategy, pre-load a dashboard program like www.hootsuite.com to increase your productivity and save yourself some time.
5. Share your goals with individuals you trust and who would be willing to help hold you accountable when they see yougoing off track. When you need to check in with someone, you tend to be more committed to following through. You may find a mentor or hire a coach to help you maintain focus and achieve your goals.

Remember when you focus on revenue generating activities, you should be tracking the return on your investment of time, money, and resources. You need to evaluate and see if your tasks are getting you closer to what you want to achieve. If not, where do you need to redirect you attention to? Identify this and you will be back on track in no time flat!
