Know What You Want for Your Business Before You Build It

By learning a few technology basics you’ll come to find out the internet is not as scary as it seems. Just because launching on the Internet can be done quickly doesn’t mean it should be done quickly. Before you start investing in tools and programs and begin constructing your online business, take some time to really narrow in on what you want to do with technology in your coaching practice. Ask yourself these questions:

Do you want to primarily funnel people into your coaching practice?

Are you interested in leveraging the thousands of hand-outs you’ve prepared over the years for your clients?

Would you like to find a way to work individually with fewer clients, yet make more money?

Write down your goals – what would you like to accomplish in the first three months? After the first year?

Take stock of your current resources. What do you have now that can quickly be repurposed and used in your Internet marketing efforts? Create a business plan.

Beware of shiny new objects. The internet is filled with programs and other material that promises easy ways to make money online quickly in your business. But remember when your drift from one place to another with no direction, you get nowhere.
