Are you improving?


A good question to always ask, “Am I improving?” This can apply to us as individuals: spouse, parent, employer, employee, etc. You can also ask the same question about your company. I feel it is always best to break down the question. Breaking it down into smaller sections gives more accountability to your answer as well as your follow through. Of course, we are going to address follow through.

Let’s start simple because when we get to ambitious nothing gets done.

Pick one area of your business. (Marketing/Leads; Sales; Production or Finances)

Which is true for you?
     • We have improved since last year.
     • We are about the same.
     • We are worse off than last year.

Now define one action that will help you improve in this area. Set a specific goal that is measurable so you can keep yourself accountable. Better yet tell someone you trust to keep you accountable to your decision. Do this exercise even if you have improved in your chosen area. Just because you improved last year doesn’t mean you will in the future.

Free Tip:  Now before you exit off this page, decide what special thing you are going to do today for your, spouse, child, employee etc. Improving is one action at a time.
