Entrepreneurship is all about having a plan, executing that plan, and then seeing the results from all your hard work.
Now sometimes plans need adjustments along the way, but I strongly believe in having a vision and plan that helps guide your path for the next 6, 12, or more months.
I want to share a few things today that will hopefully motivate you with your business plans.
I've been very public about my plans for Niche Site Project 4. I've been working on Own The Yard for over 18 months now...but it all started with a solid plan that I've stuck with despite not seeing very good results for over 6 months.
Now the site is getting more traffic from Google than ever (4k to 5k sessions a day from Google organic), and April is a record earning month.
What would have happened if I hadn't stuck to my plan after the first 6 months where things were difficult?
In addition, I've been working on my software business, Link Whisper for about 2 years now. It took almost a year of starts and stops (I had to fire a developer) and private testing by me before I even shared it with a few private beta testers.
However, once I got a stable version to start selling about 10 months ago, I've had a very deliberate plan to grow, update, and truly make the software tool the best internal linking plugin out there.
I feel like I made a major leap forward earlier this week when I released several major updates to [Link Whisper](.
Those updates include a completely new professional design, the ability to add automatic links when keywords are mentioned (with controls), broken links reports, and more.
I don't even have the sales page updated yet with all these updated features because they are so new.
But I can see that my "plan" to grow this business is working. More and more customers are sending unsolicited testimonials about how great Link Whisper is, the tool is having tons of new features added, and the all important sales numbers are increasing.
I have big plans for next month...and I can "see" my vision and sales target becoming clearer and clearer instead of just a some fuzzy picture in the future.
Now, things don't always go according to plan, but you can make adjustments, gather better information, and still grow a thriving business.
Sometimes Amazon changes commissions, sometimes there is a worldwide pandemic.
But it's important to focus on and control what you can control.
It's important to have a plan.
Don't have a plan for building an authority website?
Create one.
Or if you are not sure where to start or would like a little more help developing a plan, you can check out the Authority Hacker Pro course here: [(
Mark and Gael at Authority Hacker have created an effective "plan" for building authority websites and have the community support to answer any additional questions you might here. (As a reminder, Authority Hacker Pro closes on Monday).
Or do you want to skip the first year of building a site where you don't see tons of results? Then perhaps your plan can be to buy an existing website.
There's certainly nothing wrong with that strategy.
If you are looking for established content websites for sale, you can check out what's available on [MotionInvest.com right here](.
Maybe buying established sites, growing them, and then selling them a year down the road is your plan.
With business, there are thousands of different strategies that can be followed...but it's just important that you have a strategy.
Don't sit around and spin your wheels.
Create a strategy. Create a plan to follow. Work on that plan and then in 6 months, 12 months, or further down the road you will see the end goal that you were hoping for.
It's taken years to get where I am in business and I've had my share of both successes and failures.
But this week, I can see that my business plans are working and it feels great.
How is your plan going?
Do you have a solid plan?
If not, sit down this weekend and develop your plan and then start working on that plan.
The success begins with the well-thought out plan.
I wish you all the best in your business.
