There is something to looking into the future and planning backwards. Once you see the future things change. Take a look at these planning tips that I learned in Alex Jeffreys coaching program to produce results.
The first thing I needed to know was what I wanted to get out of this online business. I asked myself the “why?” and how much I wanted to make. Next, when I wanted to make set amounts.
I used a blueprint starting with 12 months. Not an easy task because I am learning the business tasks along the way! I managed to identify several main goals to complete by July of 2010. I then worked backwards and split the plan into quarters. I kept going, 1 month plan, weekly plan and finally the daily plan!
Here are my completed results so far:
Step 1: Get a Domain (address)
Step 2: Get Hosting (Internet Real Estate)
Step 3: Setup WordPress (Foundation for my internet home)
Step 4: Upload my Favorite Theme (My design)
Step 5: Add Plug-ins (Necessary internet living features)
Step 6: Post 1st Blog < Hello > Heads-up or Duck!
Step 7: Is anyone out there? (Install Ultimate Google Analytics)
Let me know what you think! I know my little analogies attached to the steps are corny, but it works for me!

Fun blog to visit Julie.
The little analogies attached to your steps are a wonderful addition to the list.
You inspire me to also let go all character and personality and just be me on our blog as well.

Hey Julie,
Firstly let me say, Nice looking Blog.
Also, having a well thought out plan is vital. As they say “Plan your work, then work your plan”.
It does take time, but if you focus on each stage & take one step at a time, we will get to our destination.
Great Work,
Rob

Really a stunning blog theme.
Congrats on the progress and great discipline in turning what Alex is teaching into action! He’s an amazing teacher, but the challenge is on us to turn it into action, and you’ve done it!
See you over in Alex’s forum!
