EPISODE 146

I am so excited to introduce you to Andrea Leibross. Andrea and I are talking about creating an annual business plan so you can succeed this year. And when I say succeed, I mean reach the vision you have for yourself this year and make a vision for next year, and five years from now, and beyond. Andrea reverse engineers her process with us and gives us specific steps and tips on how to successfully create, implement, and achieve your vision for success in your business. We discuss setting priorities and quarterly focuses, the four pillars crucial to your success, finding the right person to discuss your plan with, and how to identify issues that will arise, and so much more.
