Are You Chasing the $20 ideas – or the $100 Ideas?

by | Feb 2, 2017 | Blog, Get More Done, How To, Planning

We all know that entrepreneurs have a lot of ideas – it's our blessing and our curse!

On the one hand, you need those amazing ideas to help you create and grow your business.

On the other hand, getting pulled in a million directions by all of those ideas makes it challenging to really keep yourself and your business on track.

So how do you know which ideas are worth chasing??

One Hundred Dollar Bill IdeasKeep your focus on those hundred-dollar-bill ideas – those are the ideas that are going to bring you the most revenue, the most customers, and the biggest successes! Don't let yourself get distracted by the ones, the fives, or even the twenties. (I'll let you grab a few fifties, but you should really be aiming to get the biggest bucks for your business!)

Keeping your focus on your most crucial goals is going to help you create that amazing lifestyle that you've been dreaming about.

So what's the best way to stay on the right road and avoid making a wrong turn? Well, you could start by making yourself a map!

Create Your 90 Day Plan.

One of the most important parts of making your 90 Day Plan is that it compels you to get intentional and really figure out your biggest and most important goals – that sort of insight isn't as common as you think!

Once you've got that plan written out, you'll know the goals that you need to be working toward and what you have to do to reach those awesome milestones.

Figure Out Your Hundred-Dollar Bill List

 

Now that you know your biggest goals, start making a list of things that you want to watch out for – things that will help you move closer to those goals. It could be a course on webinars. It could be a networking opportunity to make connections with a specific person or group. Whatever it is, write it down!

These activities are going to be your areas of focus for the next year – this is your Hundred-Dollar Bill list to get you where you want to be!

Write a KEEP ON DRIVING List

 

After you have your list of things to watch for, start writing a list of things that you aren't looking to work on this year. Maybe you're done with learning about Facebook Ads for now, so you don't need to look for another course at the moment.

This is going to be your KEEP ON DRIVING list. Anything that isn't on your One-Hundred-Dollar Bill list – you're going to just keep on driving right on past it. When I come across something that isn’t on my current “focus on this” list, I literally say to myself – Keep on driving, McCue! It isn't your focus right now and it'll just pull you away from the things you need to be doing to keep your business banging!
