#194 The Target Focus and Action Plan for The Last Quarter

In today's video, John talks about the target focus and action plan for the remaining three months of the year. He encourages business owners to take the Growth Score Assessment at www.mygrowthscore.com. As a leader and entrepreneur, it is crucial to have clarity, insight, and awareness of your business. Once you're able to assess the constraints and obstacles of your business, you then can take the next steps to make changes and solutions to direct your business to move forward and grow. John provided strategic points throughout this episode, starting with leading yourself first. As someone who wants to transition from agent to CEO, you have to be mindful of being ahead of your game by protecting your mindset. Are you having enough sleep? What are your healthy habits? What is your workout routine? Keep yourself plugged in and consuming things that help you focus on being able to perform at an optimum level. Be aware of the things that keep your stress level high and low. The second point is to make sure your sales and marketing are at the forefront of your business and know your numbers. Always keep in mind that marketing will create opportunities for sales to turn into cash. Hand in hand is branding. This is how our clients perceive your business, be in the business of building trust by providing value and solving problems in the marketplace. One of the most important segments of your business is cash flow and finances. Pay attention to what's coming in and out until you are in a position to forecast the cash flow within 60 days of your business. The last part is having the mindset of a trainee who is getting ready for a heavy-weight event. John delved into details on how to do this and keep in shape for the rest of Q4.
