Get Intentional About Your Business Planning

Get intentional about your business.

Yesterday I was out of the office all day for a 2019 planning day. I scheduled it a few months ago, picked a place I love, and asked a friend to join me. Of course, many other things came up that wanted my time and attention yesterday, but I said no. November 7 was reserved for me and my business.

We spent hours talking and sharing about our personal and professional journeys. There's something about saying things out loud that helps speak goals and plans into existence. It also helps clarify them once you get them out of your head. If you don't have someone you can run ideas by, get yourself a person! I walked away with more clarity from that short time than I've had in a long while.

Also, it's easy to prioritize your work because you're IN your business on the daily. You've got to be intentional about taking a step back to work ON your business from a higher level perspective. Carve out the time and protect it. Then follow through (that's most of the battle, isn't it?). Good things will come because of your perseverance!

There will be some shifts coming to Embellish Marketing in 2019. I can't wait!
