Whatever you do, don't drift from month to month. Be deliberate and structured on how you go about running your business.
The first thing that I would recommend doing is to step back and have a look at how you got on the last month. Evaluate your performance during the last month. For those with operational backgrounds - a debrief.
Was it a profitable month? We are here to make money, so this is always an important issue.
Did you achieve your goals for the month?
If you did - how? What did you do well that you can capitalise on? Can you improve on them?
If you did not - why? What did you do wrong? (in order not to repeat them) What could you have done better?
Set you goals for the new month ensuring that they are in line with your overall goal within SFI. What do you want to achieve within the next 30 days?
Make a plan, not just in your head. Write it down and have it prominently displayed where you can see it every day. Make a point of visiting it daily. If you can, run it like a how you would manage a project.
Budget your money and time. Even if money is tight, don't forget to pay yourself! Reward yourself. Put some spirit into your soul!
Remember: A good plan is a flexible plan. There are many things in this world that we can never anticipate regardless of how well prepared we are. Dont be so rigid with your plan. Yes stick to it as much as possible but be flexible enough to adjust depending on the circumstances.
Have all these done at the beginning of the month and the rest should be plain sailing.
Blessings.
