How to Get Started

Use the Start, Stop & Continue Model

1. What should you START doing to get your business to the next level in 2012?

2. What should you STOP doing since it didn’t result in a positive outcome for your business?

3. What should you CONTINUE to do?

Integrate Into Your Calendar

1. Set a yearly production goal for myself.

2. Break it down month to month and

3. Staple it into my yearly calendar or add in my online calendar for each month.

4. At the end of each month, write in actual production underneath the projected. This gives me a personal monthly goal to reach and also helps me stay on track.
