Running a small business is a lot! It requires a cohesive strategy for time, task and business management if you want to be successful at it. Which is why tackling and managing all this work with a simple to do list or basic planner just doesn’t cut it.

If you have a hard time deciding what to work on for your business, feel like you’re always behind on tasks and projects, constantly dealing with emergencies and have no clue if what you are spending time on is actually growing your business… You need a better business planning system.

And I don’t just mean your business plan itself.

Sure that’s wonderful to have, but your business plan is the overall structure for the direction of your business- it’s not the strategic plan for you to follow everyday to reach your business goals.

Imagine getting to work each day with a clear plan of action, prioritized tasks, ideas organized at your finger tips, and feeling confident that the work you complete is positively impacting your business growth.

If you are ready to trade overwhelm for clarity, disorganization for structure, and hustle for strategy, I have precisely the tool you need to successfully manage and grow your business!

Hello, Ambitious Female Entrepreneurs!

In the dynamic world of business, effective planning is the backbone of success. However, even the most driven entrepreneurs can stumble due to common pitfalls. Today, let’s shed light on five planning mistakes that, unfortunately, many female entrepreneurs make, which can significantly impact their sales. By recognizing and avoiding these errors, you can pave the way for a thriving business. 

1. Neglecting a Strategic Business Plan

   One of the biggest mistakes is diving into the entrepreneurial journey without a clear, comprehensive business plan. Your plan should outline your goals, target audience, marketing strategies, financial projections, and contingency plans. Failing to have this roadmap can lead to aimless efforts and missed opportunities for sales growth.

2. Overlooking Market Research

   Understanding your market is fundamental. Female entrepreneurs sometimes overlook in-depth market research, missing out on crucial insights. Research helps you identify customer needs, preferences, and trends. Without this knowledge, you might create products or services that don’t resonate, hindering your sales potential.

3. Ignoring Consistent Branding

   Your brand is your identity. Inconsistent branding across platforms, from your website to social media, confuses potential customers. Female entrepreneurs may underestimate the impact of cohesive branding. Consistent visual elements, messaging, and values create trust, attracting customers and boosting sales.

4. Underestimating the Power of Online Presence

   In our digital age, having a strong online presence is paramount. Many female entrepreneurs underestimate the impact of a well-designed website, engaging social media, and regular content creation. An outdated website or inconsistent social media activity can deter potential customers. Investing in professional online presence significantly influences sales.

5. Avoiding Data-Driven Decisions

   Data is invaluable in business. Some entrepreneurs, including women in business, avoid analyzing their sales data thoroughly. Data-driven decisions help you understand what works and what doesn’t. By tracking sales patterns, customer behavior, and marketing effectiveness, you can refine your strategies, leading to increased sales.

Empower Your Business with Strategic Planning

Now that you’re aware of these planning pitfalls, empower your business with strategic, informed decisions. Take the time to craft a detailed business plan, invest in market research, maintain consistent branding, enhance your online presence, and embrace data-driven insights. By avoiding these common mistakes, you’ll create a solid foundation for your business to thrive, attracting more customers and increasing sales.

If you’re familiar with my journey, you know that I’ve been running my business online now full time for nearly 10 years as a solopreneur.

Before that, I spent several years dabbling with online business, content creation and social media marketing trying to get all the pieces to fit together to create income for myself online.

I saw other people doing it online, and I knew if it was possible for them, then it was also possible for me. But I had so many ideas it was difficult for me to structure them into the right foundation for me to build momentum upon.

So, I know first hand how challenging it can be to turn your business aspirations into actionable plans, especially if you are multi passionate like I am!

Actually running my business and remaining consistent was even more of a challenge as I had to hobble together different systems and tools to organize the various areas of my business to keep visibility on all the essentials.

So, I was using my planner, project management tools, spreadsheets and notes apps to capture, generate and organize the information for my business, and it was a lot.

Until Spring 2020 when I created the ultimate business planning tool for myself and other creative business owners known as the CEO Strategy Planner! This was a set of print at home planner inserts that creative entrepreneurs and digital marketers could use to organize the key elements of their business plan and take that plan and turn it into the small daily actions to take to keep the whole vision running.

It was an instant best-seller!

But of course, nearly since it’s inception, members of my community have been asking for a digital version of the planner to use on their iPad, Tablet or Smartphone device.

I’m so happy to say that the wait is officially over!

Introducing the Digital CEO Strategy Planner: Your Blueprint to Business Brilliance
