Great Goal Setting List

Lets get started with this 10 Step Goal-Setting Process.

No Limits No Excuses.

1) Think about what you want and write it down.

2) Decide EXACTLY what you want and write it down.

3) Make sure your goal is measurable.

4) Identify the specific reasons that you want to achieve this goal and write them down.

5) Establish a definite date for accomplishment of your gaol and write it down.

6) Create a list of action steps that you need to take to accomplish your goal and write it down.

7) Create an action plan from your list of action steps and write it down.

8) Take Action

9) Do something every day

10) View your goals as often as possible

To finish a quote from the great Ralph Waldo Emerson

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high aspirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.

Now, that's some excellent advice to live by. Give it a try!

Focus Groups Can Build Your Profits

We are always looking for new ways to move our business forward. One way I have had experience of in the past as been to use focus groups. A focus group is a group of employees or current customers that discuss and brainstorm new ways to improve different parts of your business. Here are 10 points to take into account in your planing.

1. They can give you new ideas on how to advertise and market your product or service to your targeted audience.

2. They can give you ideas that could help improve your current product or service. For example, you could make it smaller, faster, heavier, etc.

3. They can give you ideas for new products or services to develop and sell. For example, a new gift wrapping service for your products.

4. They can help you solve lingering problems with your business. For example, you could give your employees incentives to solve slow production.

5. They can give you new ideas on how to cut cost sand save money. For example, you could recycle damaged or old products instead of trashing them.

6. They can find new ways to improve your current customer service policy. For example, hire extra operators so you don't have to put anyone on hold.

7. They can give you new ideas on how to get the most and best out of your employees in the less amount of time.

8. They can give you news ideas for upsell, backend and add-on products to sell. For example, you could upsell a video when selling your books.

9. They can help you find new ways to stay ahead of your competition. For example, you could give your customers free shipping.

10. They can give ideas for raising your employees morale. For example, you could hold a party, give them a holiday bonus, give them a free day, etc.
