Am I right? Things are up in the air a lot, there’s not much certainty, and who knows what to do about childcare.
And yet it’s incredibly easy to feel overwhelmed and unfocused in your business.
My opinion? Getting even a mini plan together is a good idea. Which is why I’ve spent the last few weeks working on my new Create Your Mini Business Plan course.
It started with me.
Having had a couple of good months of nursery and getting back into the swing of things, most of my careful business plans went out of the window. I didn’t know what I should be doing.
One of the saddest consequences for me in this #lockdownlife is that I had to postpone my retreat, which was due at the end of March. It was heartbreaking!
But it did remind me of one of the activities we do on the first day of my retreats.
We make a list.
Okay, it’s really simple. And it’s not.
We make a list of things we want more of and things we want less of. It’s deceptively simple, and a great starting point for figuring out what’s most important to our businesses right now.
So I made my own list. It included things like “more profit” and “less stress about money”; “more focus” and “less overwhelm”; “more ways to help my audience” and “less distraction”.
This list also became the starting point for this new course. Because lists have a fabulous way of bringing clarity and focus.
I created a couple of other lists, added some gorgeous goal-setting templates, and then creating a few ways to commit to goals over the coming months. I wrote the workbook and went through it myself, adding details and amending as I went.
Focusing on writing this course meant I had to stop blogging, which I’d somehow managed to do weekly. It meant I could only write down the other ideas coming to me. And I had to accept that I’d only post occasionally on my Instagram feed while I was finishing it up.
Because deciding what we don’t do is just as important as committing to the things we want to achieve.
And now, my friends, it’s ready.
The Create Your Mini Business Plan course is here, and has an optional coaching session you can add at a very special price. It’s an inspiring and actionable guide to prioritising your to-do list and taking your business to the next level.
Check it out here.
There are some exciting bonuses, and tons of email support. Because I know it’s easy to sign up for something and then kind of let it slide.
A freebie
One of the bonuses is a COVID-19 Special Edition Workbook. I shared this over on my Instagram stories while I was writing it, and a quick poll suggested that it would be handy even if you didn’t sign up for the course. So if you’d like the free workbook without signing up for the course, it’s right here:
Whether you sign up for the course or not, you can always make your More / Less list and take it from there. You’d be surprised by how this simple list can show you what you really need.
And of course, I’d love to hear from you if you do!
