Pam and Zoey are the “wise women of business” and support values-based entrepreneurs in business success!

This tips are designed to bring a blend of left brain strategic thinking together with the creative right brain to create a powerful set of guidelines for business success!

1. Be very clear about your business vision. What do you want the business to do for you, your family, your community, and your world?
2. Attach “feelings” to your vision. Bring those feelings into your life on a daily basis.
3. Attach dates for all targets. Be realistic. Business always takes longer to build than we project.
4. Be clear on your personal values and your business’ values.
5. Decide how you will measure success, progress and test effectiveness. Besides money, how will you be able to identify when the company is doing well or needs help and when you as the entrepreneur is doing well or needs help.
6. Plan the necessary processes and systems you will need to help the company become and remain efficient. Be sure and include an efficient bookkeeping system and inventory management systems, (if you have products).
7. From a place of inspired alignment, create your “perfect customer” list and plan your marketing and promotions so that you directly target those groups.
8. Be crystal clear about costs, assign those costs to a budget, and decide some sales goals that will cover those costs.
9. Create your support team, who will you need to help you do all the work? When will you need them?
10. Plan for the worst possible challenges in business and you’ll be prepared for any inevitability.
11. Create a ‘Spoil the Customer’ plan. They’ll love you for it.
12. Be sure your business fits into your bigger “life” plan. If it doesn’t, you and your business will be continually be in conflict.
13. Create a plan to exit the business. Nothing is forever so plan ahead of time for your desired exit strategy.
