STEP 5: Revisit throughout the year & analyze adjustments

STEP 5: Revisit throughout the year & analyze adjustments

Business is about using our time wisely, to make the revenue that we need to continue to grow our business and support our life goals.
Therefore throughout this year we’ll continue to grow in awareness of our time, tracking it, analysing our efforts, what worked best, where we got off track and how/why.
And our wisdom in business, increasing our marketing, strategy, and systems to make the things we do invest our time in, have a greater return on that investment.
We will give ourselves lots of grace.
We will make mistakes, kick ourselves for not knowing something before we did it.
Most importantly we will grow 10% better (more in areas we’re brand new, smaller increments as we become more expert) as a CEO, leader and human.

15 Q’s for Why My Year Isn’t Unfolding As I Expected?
Note: Missed expectations is the key here.
Adjusting them as we go is the antidote and the path to growth.
TIME:
Why am I more overwhelmed or behind than I was expecting?
1. OVER-COMMITTING:
○ Am I underestimating the amount of time tasks take me?
○ aka I over scheduled myself and no matter how hard I work I can’t do it all in the time I have
2. PERFECTIONISM:
○ Spending too long on tasks?
○ aka not accepting 80% as good enough and moving on
3. NOT BATCHING:
○ Leaking time context switching?
○ aka 30 min per project vs 2 hours
4. LACK OF BUFFER:
○ Did things come up I didn’t plan for and there was no room for them? ○ aka someone quit, family drama, illness
PROJECTS:
What have I added in that I wasn't expecting?
5. SHINY PENNIES:
○ Did I say yes to more things than I had planned, without letting something else go to make space for it?
○ aka also decided to grow Pinterest, start a YouTube
6. EXPANDING:
○ Did I add more elements to what I had planned?
○ aka add in bonus content, film a sales video
7. WRONG PRIORITIES
○ Did I focus on smaller/easier things and avoid the projects that would really move the needle for my business?
○ aka months on the perfect website instead of launching my course 2021 Elegant Excellence Mastermind
MARKETING:
Have I not made expected revenue and am having to do more to chase it?
8. CONVERSIONS:
○ Did I not sell nearly as well as expected, leaving me scrambling to add in more revenue streams or pushes?
9. AUDIENCE:
○ Did I not grow nearly as fast as expected, leaving me scrambling to add in more list building streams or pushes?
10. STRATEGY:
○ Did I invest in something that didn’t pay off?
MINDSET:
Why am I not feeling as I expected?
11. DECISION FEAR
○ I’m terrified to make the wrong decision, so everything I attempt feels heavy and hard before, during and after
12. TIME SCARCITY
○ I forever dream of having more hours in the day, think if only ____ I would have the time, so I’m always resentful of the time I do have as not being enough
13. VICTIM MENTALITY
○ I keep looking at what others are doing or have and feel like I have it so much harder, so that I don’t appreciate all the blessings and opportunities I do have
14. CINDERELLA STORY
○ I continue to daydream that someone will save me, make the decision for me, if I can just get a team member, coach, if only my spouse would join the business then I could do this
15. REGRET
○ I beat myself up over things I didn’t do, do better, money I spent, living in the past instead of focusing on how to do better in the future and being grateful for the lessons I’ve learned
