That’s right, you heard me correctly … in 2010 I am insisting you revert back into your inner child and become a big baby! During my very long, 24 day holiday vacation in Florida I spent a lot of time with my son, who in his own way inspired me to get you on the right track for 2010.
I wish you could see his little face. He ran, climbed, and jumped on everything and of course that resulted in a few lumps, bumps, and tears but he always bounced back with a smile. He made mistakes, he tried new things, and he soaked up everything around him like the little sponge that he is. And that is exactly what you need to do in 2010.
You and I both know that 2009 was no slice of cake, but we made it to 2010 right? Even more important than that, is learning how to capitalize off of the 2009 Lessons Learned … I personally learned that when you dream BIG, even if you fail, you succeed far above the rest who did little to nothing at all.
Make mistakes. Try new Things. Be a sponge. Take a New Direction in the New Year… I personally got spoiled with my long vacation … I want more of THAT this year so I’m going to spend even more time focusing on Affiliate Marketing, Adsense Revenue, and helping more women generate revenue via my Affiliate Program and Video eCourses. In a few days I’ll tell you why Affiliate Marketing is big business in 2010, so be sure to subscribe to SistaSense for more details. In order to start the year out right, you have to have a specific focus.
Focus has to be followed by regularly tweaking your business and trying new marketing strategies. If you ask any successful entrepreneur how they MADE IT and continue to MAKE IT everyday, they’ll tell you there is no secret one thing. Consistently and proactively trying different ways to push your focus project, is the only way to make things happen.
As a matter of fact, I just sent out an email to the members of my Women of Color Small Business Coaching Program. At the very end of that email I featured progress reports from two of our top members (I’ll post them below). Both members were highlighting the progress they have made this year and much of that come from regularly listening to our coaching webinars and having consistent access to new ideas. Every month, Richelle and I showed them how to do something new. And with each new Tweak, little changes turned into big results results:
Katrina Mitchell, Fundamentals Spa, 1/8/10
“The holidays were good at the spa. Gift Certificates sales were higher than last year. Which has been a great end of the year cash flow surge. … I ended the year with $145k in gross revenue and 656 new clients. I am excited about 2010 because I can at least go into this year armed with a proven plan of action..” – http://www.fundamentalsspa.com
Larissa Parks, Seven Winds VA, 12/8/09
“I finished my accounting records and reviewed my income for the year. Presently (today) I am making more money than when I left Corporate America… $2,000 more per month to be exact. I don’t have to really market my business too much because a majority is coming through referral. This weekend I leave for my 3 week vacation in Florida. … Last but not least, I have been able to put money aside (savings) to buy our first home, pay off things on my credit report (keepin’ it real) so that this will be our reality in the next few months … our first home. I just wanted to thank both of you. I can’t wait for 2010!” – http://www.sevenwindsva.net
I love that Larissa, and Katrina, and all the women who join us are the WOCC are open to invest in themselves and learn new things because clearly it does pay off! Literally … As crazy as it sounds …. becoming a BIG BABY just might be the key to your success in 2010!
