Show Notes:
It’s time for a mid year review. Last year we did a mid year review podcast episode and it was one of our more popular downloads, so I thought we would do it again!
I’m sharing how I do mine and how I walk my clients through one.
It’s a great time to check on where we are and where we are headed this year.
Here are some steps to follow to do your own mid year review.
- Reassess your yearly goals – What were your goals? Did you achieve them? Why or why not?
- Look back month by month – What revenue did you make? Get comfortable with looking at your numbers and the overall data.
- What was going on in your life? – Our personal lives can be so intertwined in our business life and we need to give ourselves grace. Keep notes every month.
- Look at inventory – Did you follow through with your intentional marketing plan each month?
- What do we do now? – What did you pay yourself? What was your profitability? How often have you worked? What’s working for you?
- Looking forward – Prioritize what’s important to you for the remainder of the year.
Get comfortable with being uncomfortable and really take a deep dive into your business.
Pause. Shift. Refocus and make plans for success!
