HOW TO USE SEPTEMBER\u2019S BACK-TO-SCHOOL ENERGY IN YOUR BUSINESS. <\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Create a new or check in with your current annual plan\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Your annual plan doesn\u2019t have to run January to December. In fact, as the Annual Planning Queen I help business owners create annual plans that start all across the year. In \u2018Annual Business Planning Outside the Calendar Year\u2019<\/em><\/a> I share a wide variety of start dates that business owners use, including September. In fact, September is the third most popular time for business owners to plan, and it makes sense. If for a large amount of time the year started in your head when you went to school or education in September, then it makes sense you might continue to think that way. If that is you, then use that back-to-school energy and create a new annual plan. You can find out more about how I can help you with annual planning here.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you already have an annual plan, then you can use the back-to-school energy to check back in. Look at your progress to date against the goals you set and the timeline you created. Work out whether you are on track, ahead or behind for each goal. Then decide what actions need to be taken to maximise your chances of ending your year (whenever that might be) having achieved all your goals.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Get creative<\/b><\/h2>\n

One way you can use September\u2019s back-to-school energy is to embrace the fresh start and get creative. If you feel like you\u2019ve got a clean slate in your business, use that to go wild. It might be that you harness your creativity and use it to create a new offer for your business. It might be that you channel your creativity into your marketing and think about different ways to market an existing offer. It\u2019s easy in business to get stuck in your ways and keep on selling the same offers in the same way. But use that back-to-school energy to channel that. Could something be done differently? Could something be done better?<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Create your Q4 plan<\/b><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

In an ideal world, I always recommend that you create your plan ahead of time. So September, is the perfect time to plan for Q4 (October to December). For many businesses, Q4 is THE most important quarter of the year and is known as The Golden Quarter<\/a>\u00a0so it isn\u2019t a quarter you should be leaving to chance. Between Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Small Business Saturday and Christmas, Q4 is a busy quarter from a marketing perspective. Even if your business isn\u2019t a business that is going to do a seasonal campaign because it is such a busy period of time, you\u2019ll want to be clear on what your marketing approach is so that you don\u2019t get lost in the busier marketing period.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DON\u2019T LEAVE YOUR SUCCESS IN Q4 TO CHANCE. GET A PLAN IN PLACE.<\/b><\/p>\n

Whilst I\u2019m known as the Annual Planning Queen, I help business owners with annual, 6-month and quarterly plans.<\/p>\n

So if you\u2019d like support to plan for Q4 for maximum success, don\u2019t do it alone. Work with me.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Upgrade your CEO habits and routine<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Another useful way to use that fresh, September back-to-school energy is by looking at and upgrading your CEO habits. You already know that your habits make or break you. It might be that across Summer you\u2019ve been on holiday and already broken up your routine. That actually is an opportunity. It means now, when you are getting back into usual work mode, you can closely look at your CEO habits and routine and see what needs upgrading. This can be a mixture of personal habits and routines that will help you to perform better in your business, and CEO habits and routines.<\/p>\n
