308: How to Create a Workable Timeline for Your Side Biz Goals

Do you need help creating a timeline for your side biz and keeping to a schedule? This episode should help you with some tips to simplify the process for you.

• Begin with the end in mind

• • If you don’t know where your heading, it’ll be difficult (or impossible) to get there
  
  

• Breakdown into logical stepping stones

• • Start from the end and work your way backwards
  
  

• Put realistic timeframes for each step – plus add a buffer

• • The time you set will vary depending on your personal situation and schedule
  
  

• Narrow down to the very next action

• • The only way you can really move forward is if you identify what the next thing is that you can actually do
  • Use the principle of The ONE Thing to help with this to not only choose the logical step, but also the best and most effective step
  
  

• Schedule time to work on the next action

• • This is called “time-blocking” – treat it like you would treat any other appointment
