So much of marketing is living in the future. We plan winter holiday events in July, we plan spring in the fall, our plans/budgets get finalized months before the year starts. This requires a bit of psychic intuition, where will the world, my customers, the economy, etc. all be then? And... not just our customers, our current and potential customers! I say this now... in mid October to encourage you to make or finalize your plans for 2027. What are your: • Financial goals (for the year, or by quarter) • Customer goals (new, repeating) • Product goals (new offerings, upgrades, updates) • Branding (new website, new logo) • Tech (new platform, new software) • Growth (are you ready for a bookkeeper? VA, PR, something else?) One of my goals for the year was moving to Skool. We were on Kajabi but this suits us better. My next goal is 100 members here before 2027. From there, my intention is that those 100 members are helping each other grow and thrive together. I want to build a running tally of how much additional or unforseen profit people have made because the support this community provides.
