Stage 7 day 26
I have taken a far more long term vision oriented view of my business now. It looks like the month has generally been a little less profit than last month - which isn’t a problem because there was a serious amount of brainstorming done this month and not a lot of client outreach (which creates sales).
Going more toward the second business quarter (April and onward) I have a mental image of where I want my coaching program to go, and it’s a pretty solid plan if everything works out. Things can obviously change, but if the core idea holds solid we’re talking about a tiny segment of my business that has the potential to make a serious bit of money. It’s the idea of HIME in effect: high impact minimal effort. As long as my service quality is high there’s no reason why the work behind the scenes can’t be made more efficient. Like I said, as long as the core idea holds up, things are looking up for the rest of the year based upon that one third sliver of my business.
I am also expanding out my outreach to Youtube, which might sound a bit odd because I have a very niche oriented service rather than a product. But that’s where the cleverness in marketing comes in. As long as my videos are high quality content (which they are) I can sell certain things on there sort of ‘indirectly’ and still brand myself as an authority in the IM space in general with relatively minimal effort. HIME rears its head again for another potential portion of my business.
In small tests the YT stuff has already yielded some ROI, and since the traffic is free (no advertising since I’m making the videos myself) the ROI can be seen as infinite. Just scale and brand myself more and turn this little side project into a thriving machine. This can happen; it just takes a bit of time.
I don’t know what part of BASE is doing it, but I’m definitely mentally painting a long term big picture view of my business now and by doing that the small stuff seems rather trivial. This means I’m generally less worried about the stuff that would have bothered me if this had been just 3 – 4 months ago. My business and brainstorming is distracting from random BS that comes up, and I like that a lot. I would dwell on that BS in the past, and it appears I’m mentally evolving to disconnect from that negativity; the negativity from outside and within.
Since there is no stage 8 to be forced to switch to, March should be especially interesting since it’s the first month of being on a single stage for over 32 days. Let me light a firecracker on this thing called results in my business and see how high this sucker can go
