Step #5 Staying on Target by Creating Accountability

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

I’ve been sharing a video series of the 5 steps I use (and teach) to get any project done. The previous four steps involve:

Step 1- Defining Your Project’s Vision

Step 2 – Breaking the Whole Down into Manageable Chunks

Step 3 – Resourcefulness and the Power of Delegation

Step 4 – Creating Systems to Support Your Team and Project

Now it’s pretty clear that none of these steps will work if you don’t do them. Watch this video where I discuss step 5, which is about monitoring your progress and creating some accountability.

It’s true… sometimes we’re our own biggest obstacle. We get in our way – especially if we don’t have a boss – we’re not accountable so we procrastinate. One key reason my Get It Done System really works is that it gives solo-entrepreneurs the accountability and support to GET IT DONE – big time.

Step # 4 Creating Systems to Support Your Team and Project

Friday, May 14th, 2010

Whether you’re doing most of the work yourself or working with a team – you need a system.

Watch this video (the fourth in a series where I highlight each of my 5 steps to get ANY project done) and I’ll explain why having a system allows you to focus your energy on the things that fuel your business and your soul.

Personally I love all the “nitty-gritty” details BUT I also know that for a lot of visionary entrepreneurs this is where they get bogged down. The thing is if you get systems in place, it saves you tons of time and money down the road.

In the Ready Set Resultz I hand over templates and lists so you’re crystal clear about responsibilities and timelines of your project.

What systems do you already have in place for your business that are working well for you?

Step #3 Tapping Into Your Resourcefulness and the Power of Delegation

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010

Sometimes we hesitate to move forward with our business because we’re afraid that we just don’t have enough experience or skills to implement our ideas. While experience is important, resourcefulness has a much BIGGER impact on your long-term success.

Watch this video (the third in a series where I highlight each of my 5 steps to get ANY project done) and I’ll explain why knowing WHAT needs to be done, is more important than HOW to get it done.

To “get it done” you really need to learn how to reach out to people with the right resources. In the my 5-step program Ready Set Resultz, I teach a simple formula so you can figure out which pieces of the project your should delegate and which you can handle yourself. (As an added bonus I provide access to my private rolodex so you can find your own “dream team” of VAs, copywriters, webmasters, graphic designers and more.)

Which resources do you believe would help you to complete your project?

Step #2 Breaking the Whole Down Into Manageable Chunks

Saturday, May 8th, 2010

Once you have clarity about which of your many projects you’re going to focus on, looking at the whole thing often feels daunting and overwhelming. Maybe you’re considering launching a new website, creating your info product, or setting up some speaking engagements. The truth is each one of those projects (as examples) involves a lot of work. The key to maintaining your sanity, and really getting it done, is to break the tasks involved into small chunks if you want to move forward.

What do I mean by chunks?

Watch this video (the second in a series where I highlight each of my 5 steps to get ANY project done) and I’ll explain how I break the whole project down into smaller “bite-size” pieces.

You can now see how the single, larger goal is much more achievable as you work through one small piece at a time. In my 5-step get it done system Ready Set Resultz I share my secret formula (along with worksheets) for breaking down any project into manageable pieces.

Step #1 – Defining Your Project’s Vision

Thursday, May 6th, 2010

Over the past year in my program, the Get It Done Challenge, I’ve been teaching a very simple 5-step system to help solo-entrepreneurs (who are stuck or overwhelmed) get their projects completed!

These 5 steps are a culmination of all I’ve learned that can help you get your brilliant ideas out of your head and out there into the world where they deserve to be. So, I thought it’d be helpful share a video series with you where I highlight each of the steps and explain exactly WHY they’re so important to getting your project done, and HOW to do them.

So here we go with Step 1 – Defining Your Project’s Vision

As you can see, in a way step 1 is the most important one. This is where you concentrate on the OUTCOME you desire. This is where you choose a project that will create MOMENTUM in your business, not just something that clears off your to-do list.

I have a great template to share with you that goes into greater details of how to do step one’s exercise. Click here to download your copy for free right now.

What project are you going to focus on completing in the next few weeks?
