Quick-Start Guide: Set Your 2011 Business Goals

At my seminars, I’m always amazed when I ask people to raise their hands if they have their yearly goals set and written down. Less than 30 percent of the audience responds. I’m tempted to shout (and I often do) – “People -what are you thinking? The best and easiest way to significantly increase your business profits is to have a goal -and then a plan to help you achieve it!”

To forestall that happening when I see you next, I’ve put together this little video that can definitely help your business in the coming year. “Begin with the end in mind; how to quickly set your business goals” is a simple and concise four-step plan you can follow to set, implement and fine-tune your goals for optimal success!

“Why business goals, anyway? Isn’t this all about marketing?”

Well, yeah. We’re all about marketing here. But before you start your marketing for the next year, it’s best to have some clearly defined goals and objectives set for your small business. Otherwise, how are you going to measure your success?

When you get in your car, you generally have a destination in mind. When you go on vacation, it’s usually budgeted and planned long before you go. The same with running your business; it takes just as much -or even more -preparation.

When you’re finished watching the video, get started on your own goals for 2011. We’ve got a handy form available to help you do just that. Pick up a free copy right here.

You know how long it took to learn to ride a bike or drive or to never commit the same mistake again? It’s the same with innovation. It takes a  bit of practice and a lot of time before this mind function comes easily when called. Here are a few tips on how to bring innovation into your life. Read more »

Get more views on YouTube videosIf you want lots of YouTube views, here’s a few techniques that will get you more views and more hits on your own website.

1. Keep your YouTube video short.

Don’t make videos that take forever to load -or play. People have other things on their minds, and an aggregator site like YouTube has far too many choices for them to pick from already. A recent study on video-sharing websites suggests that a video works best when it is under 5 minutes in length. A CBS-TV report from 2011 says two minutes is fine. So even though YouTube allows you a maximum of 10 minutes, keep it under 5 minutes.
