Thomas Dos, The Follow Up Marketing Cat - Is having a bad day.

I, Fancy, am writing this post for Thomas Dos because he is having a bad day.  The stones are kicking up again.  We will see what happens. 

I am going to try to think of something cheery since we need that around here.  I am trying to think as I watch Buddy chase the red dot around the floor.  Why does he like that red dot so much!  I guess it gives him exercise and he enjoys it.  Are you chasing a red dot and just can’t reach it?

A red dot could be something you really want.  It might be a new car, new job, new body etc.   What is the best way to catch the red dot?  From what I have heard, if you write something down you have tons more chances of achieving it.  This is really important for any business.  This is one mistake that my master’s son made in his business and now he has to regroup and practically start over.  This will be done this evening in a board meeting and we will see what happens.

So, if you don't have goals for your business, perhaps you should get a pad and pen and start writing down what you want to accomplish in 5 years, 3 years and this coming year.  After that, you can break down the steps that it will take to reach that goal.  The more you break down the steps, the better chance you will have of achieving them.

This should be based on a niche.  Maybe it is doing landscape work in Johnstown, CO.  Once you know your niche, it is easy to put together your goals.  Be sure these goals are very specific.  The more specific you are the better.  Small steps are easy to accomplish and will probably get done.  Big chunks look like mountains and may never get done.  So get the pen and paper and start writing down the goals that you want to accomplish.  We will be doing this tonight.  I will try not to purr too loud or be too much of a problem but sometimes I just can't help myself.

Until tomorrow, Meow and Purrs!
