Are You Ready for 2008 to be Your Best Year Ever?

By Sandra Martini

The end of 2007 brought on a slew of teleseminars and ezine articles from internet marketers, business coaches, lifestyle coaches, authors, etc. all telling you that 2008 WOULD be your BEST year ever - especially if you purchased A, B or C.

My question. . .is your business ready for you to succeed beyond your wildest dreams?

Do you have the systems in place to insure that when the phone starts ringing and the emails come in requesting your services that every prospect will be treated the same?

Do you have a standard welcome packet (whether hardcopy or electronic) for every new client?

Is your family prepared for your business to skyrocket and what that will mean to their quality time with you if you don't have systems and processes in place?

Do you have systems in place to ask for client testimonials and referrals rather than when you remember?

It's all very well for everyone to tell you to have a success mindset (critically important) and believe in the law of attraction (also important), but without the consistent action and implementation that established client attraction and retention systems and processes provide you, you'll soon be asking yourself what happened to 2008.

Your Coaching Challenge
Your coaching challenge for this week is to take stock of your business. Look at it with a critical eye, as an outsider would.

Is it set up to function as a business? Are you organized (in YOUR style of organization, whatever that may be)? Do you treat everyone the same or does it depend on how much time you have when they call/email?

And, most importantly, answer the questions in today's article. Not what you WANT the answers to be, but what they are. . .today. By knowing where you are today, you can move forward and upward!
