They say 60% of businesses close within the first 3 years.

And these are PRE-COVID stats and who knows what the stats are like now after Covid.
Can you see now why it’s so important to take your business seriously or you may just become one of the statistics….

BUT you do have to put some effort into your business and building success.
Now success comes in many forms.
Success to you could mean tons of money, plenty of time, lots of holidays, being able to put your children through private school or buying a big mansion.

I know teachers that have tons of money in the bank
​
​
BUT
​
​
Have absolutely no time for themselves or their families so does that still class as successful???
​
​
You tell me???
​
​
Money might be more important to them than time, but actually, you don’t have to choose…..
​
​
So whatever successful is you need an action plan to get from A to B and beyond!
And your ideas of success will change over the years.
As soon as you’ve reached one milestone, you’ll have soon have another goal on the go!

Here are a few things (in no particular order) you may want to consider when creating your SUCCESS PLAN:
1️⃣What does success mean to you?
2️⃣What is your breakeven point in your business?
3️⃣How much do you want to pay yourself every month?
4️⃣What method of marketing are you going to use to help you achieve your goals?
5️⃣How many clients do you need in your business to achieve your financial goals?
6️⃣What steps are you going to take EVERYDAY to move the needle from where you are now to where you want to be? (and here’s a hint – having a dedicated day off is part of this plan!)
7️⃣What timescale are you going to achieve your goals in?
8️⃣What help are you going to get in your business to help you?
9️⃣Education. Doing whatever you can to learn about business.
🔟𝑌𝑂𝑈𝑅 𝑊𝐻𝑌? Why do you want to achieve this – THIS IS SOOOOO IMPORTANT, as there will be days when you want to throw in the towel and your WHY is what will make you get up and dust yourself off and keep going.
​
​
Of course, this is only a small list of things to take into consideration, BUT you must be able to answer these questions to at least be on track to becoming a successful business owner.

I was so naïve when I first started, I honestly believed that if I was a good teacher people would come flocking to my classes! 🙈
​
​
But how can people flock to your classes if they don’t even know about you!

​
For example, one of my clients wants to reduce her hours by one day per week and she would need to make £500pm to make up for the missed income.
​
​
I’ve shown her a way to make £500 with only 10-15 people PER MONTH and packaging her services so that she doesn’t need to be chasing people for money every month.
​
​
It is not as hard as you think, or as far away from your current situation, as you think.
