This is it! The very last episode of PLANATHON! We’ve done SO much planning. If you didn’t catch all of the Planathon episodes, be sure to go back and journal and list your way through them. 

I wanted to wrap it up by giving you a list of the 5 THINGS you need to do in your business in 2020 in order to grow. These 5 to-do’s for your business will set you apart from the rest in the new year, and could be the key to your business totally taking off.

There’s something about hearing them wrapped up in this one little package- about taking the time to review them and be absolutely sure we’re sticking to them. As with everything else in the Planathon, I’d love it if you WROTE THEM DOWN in your notebook to give them some time- to think through what they mean for you and your business.

These 5 to do’s are really the secrets to success for the coming year. This isn’t the episode to listen to on your way to work and then get doing 100 other things and forget you even listened. (That’s me by the way.) This is the episode to take it in and really stand by it in the new year. 

The first to-do for your 2020 to-do list is to NICHE DOWN.I know you’ve heard me say that before, right?  We have to get crystal clear on who we’re serving. We need to know exactly what we’re doing in this online space. Because until we know that- we’re all over the place. It’s way too hard for your customers to follow someone who is all over the place. They’ll get confused, they’ll honestly probably forget about you.

The second to-do for your business in 2020 is to create and nurture genuine human connections in your business. We are not robots trying to gain the biggest following on the planet. Remember you’d rather talk to 100 of your ideal audience than 10,000 people who aren’t even paying attention to you. It’s about talking to your ideal customer, listening to what they need, and creating the solutions for their problems.

We need to create our mission statement. How are you serving your customers? What are you using as the vehicle to do that? And what makes you different from others in your niche? Keep it to a few sentences. And post that statement right up on your wall. Every decision you make in your business- every product you create, every blog post or social media post you write...needs
