Are you thinking ahead and planning for next year? You may be looking back at the year that passed figuring out what worked for you, what didn’t work, and how you need to readjust as you move your business forward.

Business is always a work in progress, kind of like raising a child. The needs change at the different levels in your business and you need to be willing constantly adjust and refine as you go along to make sure you are building what you truly want.

But in this process of growing and refining and building your business it’s easy to get overwhelmed.  It’s important to have clarity about what you want, what’s stopped you in the past and figure out how you can do things differently if you want different results.

Remember Einstein’s quote:

“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result.”

So my question to you is: What do you want? How do you want your life to look?

How much do you want to work?

And how much money do you want to make?

What are you going to do differently in order to get that?

Things really start to change once you make a true decision to change. If you are not getting the results you want now, then what are you going to do to differently?

Here are 10 things you need to thrive in your business, in my opinion 🙂

1. Clarity about exactly what you want next year to look like and where you want to be a year from now in your life and business.
2. A clear strategy for how you are going to get there
3. Offerings and services that are aligned with your goals and that are easy to sell to your ideal clients
4. A marketing funnel that consistently brings you leads so you always have someone to talk to about your work.
5. The know-how to be able to implement your strategy every step along the way
6. The RIGHT MINDSET that will allow you to actually reach your goals time and time again, so you don’t get in your own way or sabotage your success. (Believe me I’ve done that!)
7. Support from like-minded individuals who are also headed in the same direction as you. If you want to do bigger things you need to surround yourself with people who are doing bigger things.
8. A schedule that allows you to stay focused and get everything done, while also having time to live your life and enjoy it.
9. A team to help you get there. Remember, you don’t have to do it all alone.
10. Time for having fun. Did you know that having more fun will help you make more money? There is an energetic reason for this.

Sounds like a lot? I’m sure you’ve already figured out that running a business is not for the faint-of-heart, but it can be so rewarding.  The truth is, it doesn’t have to be so hard, and you can run your business with a lot of flow if you set it up the right way and do the inner work to get there.

The good news is, you don’t have to figure all this out by yourself.

Working with someone who’s been there is of great help, because often times you don’t know what you don’t know. And it’s the things you don’t know that you don’t know that could be holding you back big time.
