Summary

The one thing nearly every entrepreneur I know, including myself, NEVER does is STOP. You’re in the fast lane practically all of the time because there’s so much to do!

The problem is that because you’re going a million miles an hour, you often sacrifice important parts of the creative process of any endeavor or business: creating the space needed to slow down and imagine what could be for your business.

So this week, I’m going to put aside all the talk about Facebook ads and webinar funnels to pause for a moment and answer a question that’s equally as important.

How are you feeling about your business right now?

Now, I know. You’re saying, “Jeez, Amy. I don’t have time to think about that. I’m too busy actually running my business.”

I totally understand. I don’t check in with myself and answer that question nearly enough either. Today I’m giving myself permission to not only do that on this podcast episode but to also share my answers with you.

As I go through and reveal where I am in my business right now, I want you to be thinking about or writing down where you are at the moment too. I’ve given you a freebie—a quick cheat sheet—to help you do just that.

First, I’m going to do a gut-check on the four major categories that are (hopefully) driving your business forward.

Then, you’re going to do something really fun—IMAGINE WHAT’S POSSIBLE.

I’ll tell you about the big jump I’m making right now (and it’s definitely putting me outside of my comfort zone), as well as some of the smaller things I’m doing to keep things fresh.

Lastly, I’ve got a SUPER important question I ask myself every single quarter (that I want YOU to start asking every three months).

Don’t forget about the freebie; you’ll want it to take stock of how you are doing with six months to go in 2017.

Gut check time. See you there.

Welcome to the online marketing made easy podcast business advice so easy you'll feel like you're cheating and now your host camey porterveel.

0:19.0

Welcome back to another episode of the online marketing made easy podcast.

0:32.0

I'm your host Amy Porterfield and today we are going to do a gut check on your business.

0:40.0

There's no better time than right in the middle of the year to look at your business and just make sure that you are on track.

0:47.0

But even more so to make sure that you are on track. I also want to make sure that you are moving in the direction that actually fuels your soul.

0:56.0

I know I don't typically use terms like that but I want you to be excited about your business and I want to make sure that you are moving in a direction that will allow you to create a business in a life that you absolutely love.

1:09.0

And in order to make sure that that is happening we've got to do a little gut check into your business.

1:14.0

Now in addition to that today's episode is going to encourage you to do a little dream in as well because if you're not dreaming in your business things are going to start to feel a little bit stale or just not as exciting as they used to be.

1:28.0

And then finally to wrap up this episode I am going to ask you to ask yourself one specific question every single quarter of the business year.

1:39.0

I asked this question of myself every single quarter and the response to the question always surprises me. My response is always different quarter after quarter but it always encourages me to tweak something I'm working on.

1:52.0

So I'm not going to give it away as you can see I'm teasing this question. It's coming at the end of this episode but I think you are going to love it and hopefully you use it year after year after year.

2:03.0

So we'll get there in just one moment. So we're doing a gut check on the business. We're doing a little bit of dream in and I'm going to give you this one question that you must ask yourself every single quarter to make sure that you are moving toward building a business that you absolutely love.

2:18.0

But before we get there I want to let you know something that is incredibly exciting and that I've never ever done before and that is that I'm actually opening up the doors to my live event that I'm doing at the end of this year to my general audience.

2:33.0

Now usually what I do is I put on a live event at the end of every year and the only people that get to come to my live event are those that are my B-School bonus members or bonus members of other programs like 90 day years since I promoted that last year as well.

2:50.0

But this time I'm actually opening up the doors to my general audience and you are invited to attend this live event as well.

2:59.0

Now tickets are limited for sure and the name of the event is the entrepreneur experience and Rick Mulready will be there talking all things Facebook ads.

3:10.0

He has an awesome, awesome training planned. My business partner, Devon Duncan will be there and he's talking about launching.

3:17.0

I'm going to teach some new content that I've never taught before and once in a while I'll bring in one more special guest.

3:23.0

We're still kind of working on all of that but it's going to be a great event. It's a one day event in San Diego. There are two different dates October 21 and December 2 and the cost of the event is $997 again seats are limited and the reason they're limited is because all of my bonus members get to secure their spot first.

3:45.0

So right now at the time of this recording they are all securing their spots and then when I know how many of my bonus members are going to come I will open the door and have a limited number of tickets for those that were not part of my bonus experience in 2017.

4:01.0

So this is the first time that I've done this. I'm really really excited and so in about four weeks registration opens but you can get on the wait list today.
