Half down, half to go!

Half down, half to go!  Yep, today is June 30th and that means that 2013 is officially half over.  Now is the time to take inventory.  No, not necessarily a physical inventory, but a review of your goals and accomplishments thus far.

So, let's pull out that business plan and review the progress:

  • Are sales on track?  If not, what changes are you going to make for the last half of the year?
  • Is your marketing working?  What is working and what is not?  Have you given each method enough time to be effective?  Is it time to switch up the marketing? Is it time to add more marketing?
  • Are you controlling your expenses?  Have you tallied your expenses for the year?  Are they in line with sales?  Are they high or are they low?  Is it time to spend more on your business?
  • Have you completed your continuing education requirements?
  • Have you attended any business building seminars?  
  • Have you expanded the number of your referral partners?
  • Have you tracked the number of referrals you have sent out?
  • Are you reading enough business books?
  • Are you staying on top of new technology?

If you want to stay motivated, keep that business plan simple and visible.  With that revised business plan you are ready to tackle the rest of 2013.  See you at the finish line!

Hi Kathy -- I like this checklist as a guide for self-examination on the progress for the first half of 2013(plus a couple of new ideas that I need to incorporate).

Mid year is indeed a good time to re-evaluate what you have been doing and see if you need to be making changes.

Hi Kathy,

It's hard to believe 6 months have passed in 2013! It is time to re-evaluate. I do my revisions to my business plan quarterly so this is the second one I have completed this year!
