If you are missing revenue goals, struggling to find work that aligns with your interests, or are exhausted working 50 hours a week without noticeable business growth, it’s time to shift your mindset and adopt a new strategy. An ineffective monthly consulting plan might be the problem.
In this episode, Melisa explains how to refine your monthly consulting goals to achieve exceptional results. She outlines a typical planning process and why it doesn’t support business growth. Then, Melisa focuses on the Who Plan – a crucial component of an effective strategy often overlooked during planning sessions. She provides four relatable examples to seamlessly integrate this element into your monthly planning, concluding with actionable strategies to implement the “who” component effectively.
Are you ready to exceed your consulting business goals in 2024? Unlock predictable, effective, and lucrative results by setting clear goals, mapping out strategies, incorporating a robust “Who Plan,” and reinforcing a positive mindset.
