Review & Refocus Time for Solo-preneurs

Wow, what happened to January and February? You look up from what you're doing and suddenly it's March. Remember back in December and January when you wrote down your goals for 2007? It's amazing how quickly life moves forward.

It's time to stick your head up and take a 360 degree look at your business and life again before too much time goes by. You'll want to check your progress and see where you need to adjust and refocus your efforts.

As much as possible, look at any data you have to help you with this reality check. It's a good time to print out those financials, and look at that journal, exercise log or calendar. Feedback from those people around you who will tell you the truth is also really helpful. It's amazing how often we tend to refine our memory so this kind of information will help you get a more accurate picture.

First, let's review your goals and your accomplishments in 2007
What successes have you noted already this year?
What challenges have come up for you?
Are your goals for the year still relevant?
Do you have interim goals - weekly, monthly - set for yourself?

Are you taking consistent action on each of your goals?
If not, what do you think has been in the way?
If not, what support can you set up for yourself to help you focus your efforts?
Do you remind yourself everyday of your vision for your business and life?

If you have been taking consistent action, but have not started to see results, take some time to reassess your action plan
Do you need to modify your efforts?
Is there more information you need to assess your situation?
Would you benefit from professional advice? (Accountant, Attorney, Business Coach, Personal Trainer, Dietician,)

Do you need to adjust your goals or action plans in any way?
If so, what are your revised goal(s) for the year?
What do you need to change in your action plan?
When and how are you going to implement the changes?

You have a much better opportunity for achieving your goals when you regularly take the time to check your progress and adjust your course. It won't take long and you'll see it will be worth your time.

Use this chance to renew your commitment to your vision and refocus your efforts starting today.
