<span style="font-weight: 400;">WOW! Another year ends &amp; this brings opportunities for developing &amp; learning from it as we move into a fresh one!</span>

&nbsp;
<h2><b>Plan For 2020 </b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">How do we create &amp; develop a realistic plan for an entire year when it can often seem completely overwhelming? </span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">We want to do SOOO many things, yet we are already SOOO busy, where do we even start????</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Ok well, it’s well written that we should always start with the end in mind. </span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Then we can plan backwards, to structure systematically what &amp; when to do things to take us toward the ultimate end goal. Like planning our training for a marathon!</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Here are a series of questions to help you plan forwards from starting backwards…..</span>

&nbsp;
<h3><b>Question 1: </b><b><i>If you could see into the future to Christmas 2020 what would you like to think your circumstances would be then, that are different to what they are right now?</i></b></h3>
&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Maybe it is to have 10 more clients or 1 new staff member. </span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Maybe it is to be a Biomechanics Coach or qualify at L4 in something?</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Maybe it is move house, own a premises or clinic.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">It can be as dramatic or undramatic as you feel, it is all about vision. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Actually take time out to consider realistically where you would like to be in a years time? Don’t hold back!</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">I would even go as far as costing it all out. If you want a new house… how much will you have to save each month? Want to take an extra holiday…. How much do you need to save? </span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Remember, your business is there to help you create the life you want! But it doesn’t happen by accident. You have to know what you’re aiming for.</span>

&nbsp;
<h3><b>Question 2: </b><b><i>What steps would it take to achieve that desired goal?</i></b></h3>
&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">This takes some time as each &amp; every single step must be laid out very clearly, in timing order so that you can develop a strategy.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">When you start going through all the things you need or could do to make that goal a reality is where it can very quickly become overwhelming. So what I want you to do is the following…</span>
<ol>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Write down ALL the ideas you can think of that will help you get towards your goal. Go crazy… every idea however mad it seems, big or small, anything you want to do… write it down.</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Highlight the 3 actions that you think will have the biggest impact on your business.</span></li>
</ol>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">We often get so caught up being busy, doing tasks and activities that never actually drastically move the needle. Always remember Paretos law…</span>

&nbsp;
<h4><b>The 80:20 Rule</b></h4>
&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">80% of your results will come from 20% of your efforts!</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">So make sure you focus your efforts on the important things first! Work out what you think those things in the 20% are that will generate the 80%!</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Then take those 3 core goals and let’s break them down into their parts. It’s very rarely one task to complete. It will take a series of tasks and actions… so what are they?</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">So let’s look at an example. Perhaps you decide that in order to really grow your business you need to hire a member of staff. Perhaps an admin assistant or another coach to work with you.</span>

&nbsp;
<h4><b>Goal = Get a new member of staff</b></h4>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 1 - Decide what you want them to contribute, skills, hours, arrangement (consultant or employed) </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 2 - Design an advert</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 3 - Make advert available to potential professionals </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 4 - Create job description </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 5 - Arrange interviews </span>

&nbsp;
<h3><b>Question 3: </b><b><i>Can the steps be slotted into a timeline that you feel is realistic?</i></b></h3>
&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Now once you have broken down the 3 core actions, let’s put them on a timeline… a realistic one, but I still like to add a bit of pressure to a job. How often do you have a deadline that’s months away and still you end up doing most of the work 3 days before its due.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Creating deadlines based upon your present and projected schedule. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">For this example of finding a new staff member, if you have decided you want them up &amp; running by xmas 2020, this gives you plenty of time to add the above steps into your year planner. </span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 1 - by Feb</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 2 - by Mar</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 3 - April-July</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 4 - July</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 5 - July-Aug</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Etc etc</span>

&nbsp;
<h3><b>Question 4 - </b><b><i>What is your PLAN B? </i></b></h3>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">This is a really important one!</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">What if you cannot find the right person? </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">What if this idea changes? </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">What does this mean for your business? </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">What other ideas do you have to solve your problem?</span>

&nbsp;
<h3><b>Question 5: </b><b><i>Do I feel this is still the right vision now I have planned it out?</i></b></h3>
&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Challenge everything - over &amp; over again.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">You know that’s my philosophy by now, and it includes my own goals and vision. </span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Every now and again, when people go through this process, they realise that they don’t want a particular goal, or perhaps aren’t willing to do the things it’s going to take to get them there.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Or sometimes, they feel like they could actually accomplish MORE! You see when you break things down, it becomes much more manageable.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Often they realise that getting to their end goal actually isn’t as far away as they feel it is now. </span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Does your vision get you excited?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Are you excited to get out and attack it next year? </span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">If so…. You’re on the right track!</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">BUT… a word of warning… a BIG Goal will cause an element of FEAR! That’s ok! </span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">That means you are pushing your boundaries, heading out of your comfort zone and leveling up! That’s a good thing!</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Don’t be put off by the fear! Acknowledge it and use it!</span>

&nbsp;
<h3><b>Question 6</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">:</span> <b><i>Are you always conscious of the things you have already achieved?</i></b></h3>
&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Something I learned was to write plans, dreams, visions down &amp; re-visit them. Often we are so lost in the next goal, or vision, that we forget to recognise how successful we already are. Just because your goal posts have changed doesn’t mean you shouldn’t celebrate the previous success!</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">So let’s celebrate our previous successes this New Years Eve 2019!</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Have fun!</span>

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

P.S. If one of your goals is to do more CPD, learn a new skill set and be able to serve your clients to an even higher level then I would love to have you on one of our Diplomas or Workshops in 2020.

To find out what is the best route for you to go down then let’s have a chat and see where you are at now and what you want to achieve with your coaching.

We have various payment plans available for our courses, just in case you are concerned about payment… I know Christmas tends to be an expensive time of year, but I would hate for you to miss out on starting one of our diplomas.
