21: Designing for Profit in 2019

Mike is back with us on the show again! For Mike and Dr. Sabrina, success in business, in your personal life, and with your goals, is all about small wins. So in today's episode, Mike and Dr. Sabrina are talking about getting unstuck and creating big wins with small steps. They are also talking about planning for profit for 2019. Mike shares a roadmap to plan for profit and explain how to build it into your business. Many of us are inspired to implement changes in our business at the beginning of January. However, by the time that February comes around, we can be so caught up in the rat race again that all our good intentions are left by the wayside. So today Mike and Dr. Sabrina are discussing how to not feel guilty (or overwhelmed) about not acting on the plans that you made at the beginning of the year. They explain how you can take a few steps back, realign your goals, focus on the small wins, and then take baby steps forward, to achieve the kind of success you'd really like to have in your business. They conclude with offering their own definition of breaking even. Show Highlights:   How is a successful entrepreneur like a good Valentine?  Taking baby steps towards your goal.
