Quick Tip on How to Prioritize Those Ideas Buzzing Around Your Brain

June 27th, 2008 by Kendall

Creative entrepreneurs like you and I often have the problem of TOO many ideas buzzing around our brain. So how do you know which ones to act on and which ones are just distractions?

Here’s a tip on a simple system I use to decide which ideas will pay off:

First, grab a few sticky notes or index cards and write down each idea on its own note/card.

Next, for each idea, ask yourself these questions:

1. Will this idea add money to my bank account (or add subscribers to my list)?

(Write down “yes” or “no” - no fudging or trying to justify - be honest, your income is at stake!)

2. If the answer is yes, then ask, how much and by when?

(Write down your numbers and date. Be realistic, not wishful thinking.)

3. If I don’t pursue this idea, what will I lose?

(Write what the downstream effect would be by not following through on this idea. Oftentimes, what you stand to lose isn’t that much, which means the idea does not carry much impact for you and your business.)

4. If I pursue this idea, what else–specifically!–will I gain?

(Be specific about what completing the idea will help you do next, and next, and next so you’re clear about it’s ranking and contribution to the growth of your business.)

Now sit back and look at your answers. Which ideas clearly have the biggest potential impact for you and your business? Which ones sound fun but aren’t really going to make a big enough contribution to increasing your income and your free time?

Give yourself permission to have great ideas that don’t ALL get acted upon. Better yet, give yourself permission to CHOOSE one idea right now TO act on!

That’s how I nearly tripled my income last year.

Love and brilliance,

Kendall

You Get What You Ask For

June 27th, 2008 by Kendall

I got dozens of responses to my post, asking what is the ONE amazing thing you would accomplish if you had all of the info, resources, training and accountability you need and want.

VERY exciting to see so many of you sharing what you really want!

Okay, now to answer a few of your questions regarding my vision board…

Someone asked what else was on my vision board (hard to see from the photo below) so here’s a quick “guided tour:”

MONEY CORNER (Top left).

Phrases cut out and pasted on are “Invest in the power of you” (which I have done with the different coaching programs I’m in. Yes, they cost money but the payback has been extraordinary!)

Phrase I found from Money magazine, “Triple Your Money.” Yep, did that last year, bringing in just under 3x what I had made the prior year.

Phrase “Fun Family Fortune” which for me represents bringing prosperity to my family, who now all work with me in my business (VERY cool!)

Phrase “Truth” and “Peace” and “The Meaning of Money” which represent my belief that making money is part of our spiritual path.
