Make 2010 YOUR year!

I saw these three links on the news some time ago. I bookmarked them to use during the year. Bank Rate helped me find a great rate on my CD that was coming up. That in turn led me to a local bank which I met a branch manager who was honest and showed me what to do. (I have no clue with CD’s/IRA’s). There is tons of other information at this site. From refinancing to college and mortgages. All this is free to use!

Simplifi is another great free tool I saw on T.V.. Everyone should have a financial plan and goals. This site will help you plan for both. I personally have not tried it yet, but I will take a weekend and go for it. Looks like a winner to me!

The last one I saw and bookmarked was Mint. This takes your financial goals and puts you on a budget. Yeah…I don’t like the ‘budget’ word either, but hey, this is free to!

I plan on making 2010 MY year and you can to. These three free sites look like a terrific start to rev things up in my personal and business finances. This will help me set my long term business goals and short ones to.

Everyone should check these sites out. All of them are free, and if you are serious about your business or personal income/finances, this will make 2010 YOUR year!

To your financial future!

Have you ever seriously thought of where you want your business to be 1-3-5 years from now?

Do you have effective marketing tools to get you there?

Your Business Plan

If you have a business plan in written form you are to be congratulated! Most online entrepreneurs do not have one for lack of knowledge about it.

One way to create income online, is to ask these three questions honestly:
? What am I doing?
? What’s working?
? What’s not?

Sit back in a quiet place and examine your business. Think…really think about these questions. Examine your answers closely and simply do not spend time on what’s not working. Once in a while the what’s not working is only a temporary state and may be reinserted later in your business plan.

Establishing short term business goals can help you to adjust to the three questions. Try to make some 90 day measurable goals. Keep track of your progress. Should you come up short, no big deal. Move forward until they are achieved. Stay the course. You may want to set a few short term business goals. After all, you are in business to generate online income!

Long term business goals is where the 1-3-5 year plan comes in to play. Again, sit back in quiet contemplation and visualize where you want your business to be. Make it measurable but yet stretch yourself. To plan a business takes time, perseverance, consistent action and personal transformation.

Effective marketing tools will also help you with your strategy goals.
Find one that works for you and your business. My side bar has several you can join free with optional upgrades.

When I planned my business, keeping track of the expenses actually took quite a chunk of my time. Because of that, most just don’t bother with the paperwork until tax time. Bad idea. These three tools revolutionized my new business: Bank Rate ; SimpliFi and Mint. These tools are free to use and will revolutionize your business as well.  You will be surprised how much money you are throwing away! I also use it for tracking household expenses.

Maximize your business profitability. Find out where your business plan is taking you!
