MM&I Header

December 10, 2012 - Are you looking forward or looking back? As this year comes to its conclusion, how are you reflecting and projecting into the year ahead? Are you looking back with regret and disappointment? Or are you looking back with insight and awareness? Are you looking forward with excitement and anticipation? Or are you looking forward with anxiety and trepidation? How you view your past or future will have a direct impact on what you do in the present.

 
Take an MM&I Moment to take control of your frame of mind about how you are perceiving this year and next year. If you are viewing this year with regret or disappointment, shift instead to a view of learning and enlightenment. Note what you have learned, and how these insights can help you moving forward. If you are viewing the year ahead with dread, then note what you would love to see happen. Then list a couple of actions steps you can take now to transform your doomsday thinking into can doing.

Savvy Secret Tip of the Week

Do you sometimes feel that offering totally customized offerings is a double edged sword? On one hand, you are being truly tailored in how you serve your clients. On the other hand, it creates more work for you in the process because of the customization. Does it really have to be more work? Even in totally custom situations, you still must have a process and approach to how you derive your custom solutions. Take some time to consider this and you may just find you can streamline and process your customization so it is less work and more profitable. Learn more about building more profit and function into your business by reading Secrets #5 (Profit Sizing), #10 (Repackage& Deliver) and #12 (Systemized Marketing) in my book, 50 Marketing Secrets. To order the book, CLICK HERE!
