New Years Small Business Tips - Week 1

Hello and Welcome! It's been a while since I've posted but one of my New Years Resolutions is to share more free coaching tips. In partnerships with Wellx I will be offering weekly tips for small business owners and independent professionsal. Do you want to: 1) Jump start your small business in the New Year? 2) Want to start a new small business? 3) Find it challenging to work alone and wish you could partner with other independent professionals? 4) Do you find it challenging to run all aspects of business or attract new customers? If you answered yes to any of the questions above then I am here to help. Each week I will share some of my coaching tips you may find useful. Try one or try them all. One of the benefits of working with a coach is the opportunity to accept challenges which can lead to growth. If you are not getting the results you want then these challenges may help. Taking action is important. Read the tips but more importantly do the ‘assignments’. A little time may produce surprising returns. Here is an overview of topics that will be covered: • The Importance of Branding (e.g., business name, logo, target market, purpose) • Your Vision Statement • Your Mission Statement • A Basic Business Plan • Strategizing to Success • The Elevator Speech • Talking Points • Research (to both understand competition and simpify workload) • Running a business (finances, administration) • Marketing • Networking • Support (mastermind partner, coach, focus group...) Hopefully right now you feel excited about the possibilities that await you. Each week come to my blog or to http://wellx.com/ for the new topic and your assignment. Challenge yourself to stick with it and do not avoid topics -- those are probably the areas you need to work on the most. I can help you to get stronger in those areas, delegate and simply. To create good momentum you may start with the topics you find most desirable. In other words you do not need to do these in order. Use your creativity and most importantly enjoy the process.
