Here’s a powerful message for those of you planning for 2012 right now: Don’t mistake movement for progress.
As we know, for many business owners January is not the start of a New Year. It’s simply the chance to relive the same old year, over again. Hard work and good intentions give the illusion of progress, when they simply create movement. This happens because no matter how hard you row your boat in the wrong direction, it’s not going to get you where you want to be.
A decision and 2 options
For those of you who want January to be the start of a truly New Year, you have a decision to make, then 2 options.
The decision is, ‘am I prepared to replace my current business development approach (or lack of one) with something that will give me the results and income I need?’ For those who say yes, there are 2 options:
- If you have the time and expertise to identify exactly what you need to change and then implement it correctly, you can do it yourself. Unfortunately, this option is most common among those who lack the expertise required, which is why their progress is frustrating year on year.
- If you are a specialist in an area other than marketing and business development, you can hire expert help.
