Today was a productive day. It is the beginning of the month so I always go over the financial items to make sure I have accounted for everything. As I was doing so I decided to work on some financial projections for 2011. In order for me to know where I am going, I have to know what I will need. It is important to document every part of this journey because it will become the path towards making it a reality.

So I mapped out how much I want to make next year. Since I have several revenue streams I can combine them to make a nice profitable business for myself. One of the things that are most important to me is to keep my coaching services affordable. I believe that coaching is such a great experience and it should be accessible to all. Most coaches charge a minimum of $300 per month. I cannot afford to pay that right now and even if I could I would probably find issue with the price. I am a frugal person and believe in getting the most for my money.

My business philosophy has always been that you don’t have to be big to look big. Meaning you don’t have to spend the big money to have a professional, high quality presence. Things can be affordable without sacrificing quality. I believe it and find it in many areas. It just involves shopping around to find the best value.

So I took financial inventory today and now know what I want to achieve financially for 2011. The next step will be to chart out the course to meet those goals.

See you on day five.
