Goal Setting

Coach Hess bringing you success We're talking about goal setting today and I'm just going to ask you a question real quick. Do you reach your goals by setting them, do you have them written down? So many people set goals and then they go into the drawer and don't really achieve them. Do you have goals separated into daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly and so on. Those are all different types of goals and how do you achieve those?

The big thing within that is you need to think about them being smart we've all heard about SMART goals, smart goals are specific measurable achievable results oriented and time-bound but I'm telling you take it a little step further folks. Make them smartER because that's where it happens and that's ER being enjoyable and rewarding. If your goals are enjoyable and rewarding the probability of success is much higher. If the goals don't make you sweat, they aren't big enough.

Goals that are going to make you get somewhere... all right so put them out there in front of you... think about what you want to do with your goals.

How to set them but then really how to achieve them because in the long run goals eventually become habits and habits become Lifestyles. Then you're not setting goals anymore you're living a new life and that's the way to be. That's how to extend your success with Coach Hess

Achieving Goals

Coach Hess bringing YOU success! Have you ever found the disconnect between the goals that you set and then the actually achieving of those goals? Big difference between the two and two different things that I want to bring together right now so that you can have more strength in bringing those forward for you.

Let me tell you, you got to set some tasks that you're going to do on a daily basis to achieve a goal, whether that's a monthly goal, that's a yearly goal, or that's out five years, start to think about, what do I need to do consistently? Because those consistent tasks that you put in place and do over and over and over, then become a habit and become a lifestyle. You achieve the life you want to achieve.

CA$H is King

Coach Hess bringing you success today? We're talking about cash is king. How do you handle your cash in your business? Are you keeping an eye on your bank account? And that's kind of it. Making sure you have enough to get your expenses month over month?

Let me tell you, folks, it's got to be a little bit more than that. There are four types of cash that we're going to go through in the next few series of these 1 minute sessions. Number one is revenue. Number two is profit. Number three is cash flow month over month, how that looks. And number four is equity.

All of these are important aspects of cash, and they're all different types of cash and should be looked at and treated differently. Extend your success with Coach Hess.

Revenue & Profit

Coach Hess bringing you success? Well, getting revenue in the door is probably important to your business. Are you measuring it closely? Well, I'm sure you're seeing the top line, but how do you break that measurement down into what's going on with marketing? How is marketing feeding your revenue?

How do we test and measure that so that we can get into a position of predictable profitability through our revenue line? So growing revenue is just a matter of testing, measuring, and keeping track of it month over month, and then you get the predictability of that from there.

The bottom line is about getting to your profit line, right? So, we've got to control some costs and keep track of those. A very important piece of cash. And what happens with cash as profit is much different than cash as revenue how you use that, how you extend it, how you put it into play for reinvestment in your business, and so on. All critical stuff. Extend your success with Coach Hess.

Cash Flow

Coach Hess brings you success. Do you know where your cash positions are? Probably your bank account. You're probably tuned to that, right? Well, you probably are looking at your revenue and profits monthly in your P&L statement.

Well, the third type of cash, besides revenue and profit is cash flow. What's happening to your cash month over month. Now, I highly recommend that you build at least a twelve-month budget out in front, taking your P & L and putting your actuals in each month.

Analyze these numbers closely and pay attention to the trends. And it will certainly give you the power to grow and understand your numbers so that you can continue to make great decisions. Extend your success with Coach Hess.
