Do You Have a Clear Vision For Yourself and Your Business?

Having a vision is absolutely crucial in order for you to move forward.   If you are not clear about what you want to accomplish, then you will be like a ship without a rudder.  You will be thrown off course very easily and you will not get very far in your journey.
When you have a vision for where you want to go and what you want to accomplish, it makes you much more focused and powerful. Your vision will guide and direct you to your destination.
What is your destination?
That is for you to decide.  You need to be crystal clear about where you want to go in your business and what you want to accomplish.  It doesn't matter what level you are at in your business, it is always necessary to have a vision of where you want to go next.
There is always a next level that you can reach, and your vision is going to take you there every time.
Don't Sway
Once you establish a vision for yourself and where you want to go in your business, you need to commit to that vision 100%.  This applies to the person who is just starting out as much as it applies to any top producer.
If you are just starting out in business then this will help you stick to a plan and it will stop you from going in a thousand different directions at once.  I can't tell you how many products I bought and how many strategies I tried to learn when I was just starting out.  I had no vision and no direction for where I wanted to go.
If you are a seasoned veteran in this industry and you are very skilled at what you do, then this applies even more to you.  The more successful you become, the more you need to stick to your vision.
Opportunities will present themselves on a daily basis, and it is crucial to stick to your vision and not get sidetracked by every offer or opportunity that you get.
Make Your Vision A Reality
If you are able to stick to your vision and follow through with it until it becomes a reality, this will give you confidence to create what you want in life.
It is always good to keep an open mind if an opportunity presents itself to you along the way, but it should ultimately be helping you to reach your final destination….whatever that may be.

We Have a Very Successful Website

"We have a very successful website..." she said as I offered my internet services as a conversation filler while I was running diagnostics on her home office network. "We have a ton of hits and it's very active." She continued, "Have you seen it?" At this point I am very curious because I love to see success stories in action. At this point I don't see any signs of the website in business cards, brochures, etc... just pencils, notepads, binders, calendars - all with the URL of the site.

Even her network, now that I've gone through it had no anti-virus, no backups, nothing. And the most puzzling thing was, she had no viruses, no spyware and her machines all ran fine. In fact the only reason I was hired was to network her new printer and allow sharing on her wireless network. The more time I spent configuring things the more time I spent securing a list of things that were blatant "no-no's" in any network setting from missing antivirus to open and unsecured WIFI to her firewall shut off on both her modem and PC's.

Now looking at the website, it's in worse shape than the network (aesthetically). The navigation changes per page, pop-ups and blinking things everywhere and too too much information on the site. She told me, and I can verify that almost all her communication comes through emails, starting form the website. Which  is why, every little thing she has at her desk has her URL on it, thus giving her the illusion of activity and success.

So what is success? What constitutes a successful website, or an active one? Is her network successful because it has not been infected or hacked? Is her website successful because of activity and communication? What standards are you putting on yourself, your business and your website?

Websites should sell for us, communicate for us and even educate. They have evolved far beyond the online portfolio or line card - they are so much more. They can now interact, think (to some degree), give out answers, guide, show, sell, problem-solve, and it's on and on. They are only limited by our imagination and investment - but the question is - what are you willing to put into it to get it to that level?
Click here and see what we can do to enhance your website. Remember, you may drive all kinds of people to see your website - but what will they say when they get there?
