Productivity and efficiency are the popular buzzwords lately as more and more business owners try to make the most of their time during a busy day. No matter how hard you try, you simply cannot do everything yourself when it comes to running your business. Investing in your business not only decreases stress but it makes your business run more smoothly, therefore increasing profits.

Businesses of every type, including coaches, need a business plan. Don’t think you can skip by on this important step because you offer a service instead of a physical product. Every business can benefit from a business plan. Believe and take heed of the cliche quote “failing to plan is planning to fail.” It is true!! So, don’t believe you can launch or grow your business without proper planning and not just at the beginning but continuously.

With all the different social media platforms available today, it’s easy to focus your marketing time online because it’s generally less time-consuming to engage from your computer than attending in-person life functions and talking to people in your community. However, if you depend solely on social media for your marketing, you’re missing a vast opportunity to market your business to locals right in your own backyard.

Business owners everywhere incorporate marketing tactics every week and every month. Their purpose is to tell the world about their mission and their products or services. Without marketing and without millions of dollars in your advertising budget, not a single soul would know you have a business, never mind want to make a purchase with you.

If the very thought of PowerPoint makes your eyes glaze over, you’re not alone. The world is filled with incredibly boring presentations, and you’ve no doubt sat through your share of them.
