A new idea to expand your business

I feel great as I suddenly realised something quite powerful. We all think we should set new goals at the beginning of a new year but then how many of us fall down at the first hurdle because some of them are daunting?

Well my goal this year is to succeed in one new goal a month. That's right. One goal a month. That's 12 new goals this year. Gosh it feels quite liberating because that to me is far more realistic and which is something I know I can achieve.

It's not daunting because I have put on my yearly wall chart all the new goals - month by month - as they gradually build up to the final aim of the year. My only decision I had to make was which goal for which month!

And the good news is I have already achieved my goal for January 2011 - expanding my Inspiring Soul Evenings which I run monthly in Essex....I have now bought a new domain name which is 'Inspire Your Soul Events' because I can now make these events day or evening! I can gradually expand into other Counties across the UK which is something I have talked about for ages but never done anything about it. Now I have no excuse!

So what can you do month by month to grow your business? I truly believe that when we take one small step - which is achievable and therefore believable - it can happen. Why not take that first step now. Write down 12 goals, organise which one to start with and then month by month add a different target and then have the lovely feeling of ticking them off as you see yourself achieving them. That really is less daunting and much more realistic don't you think!
