Smart business owners know that planning is the key to higher profits. In fact, if you ask many entrepreneurs what they have in the works, they’ll be able to tell you nearly every promotion and product coming up for the next 12 or even 24 months.
But creating that kind of long-term plan doesn’t come naturally for many people. You have to not only have a vision for where you want your business to go, but you also have to know what you need to create (and when), be able to assign the tasks to your VA or other team members, work in some additional promos for complementary products, and still leave room for last-minute offers.
Whew! No wonder we get so overwhelmed when it comes to planning. The “seat of your pants” business plan seems so much easier! Unfortunately, that type of business won’t help to grow your income, so let’s get planning and make your next 12 months as easy (and profitable) as possible!
