We are told that we need a business plan, five-year goals, and a vision for our businesses. This is all true…sort of. Planning is important, yes. There needs to be a roadmap to follow so that we can get the right results from the time and energy we invest. But we need to stay flexible and responsive to our market, and to ourselves. Trish will talk about the reasons for planning, the reasons for not overplanning, and how getting it right will help your business grow.

The Big O #4 of 4
The fourth pitfall of solo home business ownership is probably the biggest one to avoid: OVERTRAINING. Becoming a solo home business owner, and achieving the goals that made us decide to go that route, can be pretty overwhelming. We question ourselves, wondering if we’re doing the right things, aware that there’s so much that we don’t know. Fear, uncertainty, and doubt – the FUD Factor – pushes many of us to take program after program, each one promising to be “THE ONE” that will break us through to the success we are aiming for. Trish will talk about the most effective approach to training in your business and what you should realistically expect to achieve in your professional development efforts.
The Big O #3 of 4
The third “O” of four solo home business pitfalls is about OVERCOMPLICATING. When we start our own businesses, we often look to models we are familiar with to design our operations. For many of us, those models come from the corporate world. Even if we think we are “stepping down” in the design of the business, we can make things far more complicated than they need to be. Trish will share her own experiences with this pitfall and offer recommendations for keeping things simple and effective.

The Buying Bubble Show
Does your offering catalog allow different buyers to begin doing business with you at different price points? In other words, does your target market have a low risk (in their perception) way to engage you the first time? Many of us don't. We jump from "free" to "top of the line" in one giant step, and then can't figure out why people aren't beating down our door to get the really valuable stuff we can provide them. Beating down doors doesn't come from giant steps. It comes from having a "buying bubble" that allows a buyer to purchase at whatever "fiscal entry point" they are comfortable with.
