2013 here we come......

I hope that your 2012 business has been good, that all the hard work you put into your business plan has paid your dividends.....and if so I hope it continues.  If it has or not, then maybe it is time to kick off 2013 "right now" as waiting until January will put you 90 days behind to start your new year.

Planning for my business has led me to understand that any new Client will be at least 90 days until I realize my income from that Client, some come earlier and some later but the average has held to the 90 days.....meaning if I did not plan and have that plan in place by October 1st then I am starting to eat into my new years income already.

I am not saying a plan to implement January 1, 2013......I am talking about putting that 2013 plan into action by October 1, 2012......and adding that along with all that I am doing now to finish my 2012 plan. 

No matter where you are in your 2012 plan......good or bad, NOW is the time to ensure 2013 is up and running......productive and profitable.

I love business planning. Even better is watching a business plan work. Thanks for the post!

Absolutely, if you do not plan you are planning to fail. It is that easy.

Daniel,  Oh my... the title of this blog just gave me a BIG eye opener and realizing the year is almost over with and yes I need to start focusing on 2013.   I like to plan ahead of time and get thing rolling before the new year (except the diet piece).

Completely agree. I was just saying how I started my next 90 days already by distributing my checklist for the Fall to my neighborhood today. Tomorrow is the adjoining neighborhood. Too many get distracted by the holidays...it is important to take time off to celebrate them, but you have to work your plan!

This is great advice Dan.  Everybody here at the Shore is talking about how fast the summer went by...and it's going to be October 1st before we know it!

Good morning Dan -

Without a plan in life and business we are certainly doomed for failure.  Good job my friend.
