Your Feel-Good Mid-Year Small Business Review! | 5 Minute Mid-Year Small Business Review for Women in Business

It's July!  And that means we're 6 months into 2022. And all around me, people (you know. all the business gurus online, some of whom I love) are saying “dive deep into your mid-year business review.”

But quite honestly, I don’t have time for it. Not at the moment, at least.

I mean… I love business planning, goal-setting, profit-planning, marketing planning… all the things.

But solopreneurs like you (or those of us with small teams we’re managing too!) — we’ve got A LOT on our plate! (Can I get an AMEN!?)

Yep, there’s always wisdom in planning — but taking time to do an in-depth, several hour long review isn’t always the highest priority at the moment.

And yet, it’s good to REFLECT.

And we sometimes begin to feel the burn-out or overwhelm if we don’t pause and refresh ourselves with some celebration of our growth (especially if we keep getting distracted by the next thing, more things, and the hustle mentality we have to fight against non-stop to preserve our sanity)!

So if you’re looking for a mid-year review small business exercise that will take you 5 minutes or less… here it is! You’re welcome, busy solopreneur girl. Busy mompreneur business woman. Busy at your desk all day female working professional.

As a brand & marketing strategist, I know that a lot of the work you’re doing is behind the scenes. It isn’t always getting the glory. But it DOES MATTER.

This mid-year review showcases that SUCCESS. And it reminds you that you’re setting yourself up for success down the line, even if you’re not there quite yet.

Do this 5 minute exercise (5 questions!) and the good news is, no matter where you *feel* you're at, this will remind you how far you've come, how much new knowledge you have, how you’re better prepared to serve your audience with excellence & joy, and what you can celebrate.

Ok, grab a paper & pen, and get ready to SMILE:

Question 1: How have YOU GROWN in the last 6 months?

Question 2: How do you VIEW YOUR BUSINESS DIFFERENTLY than you did previously?

Question 3: What do you KNOW about your TARGET AUDIENCE that you didn’t know before? (This is a big deal!!)

Question 4: What’s ONE THING you ACCOMPLISHED in the last 6 months that you’re proud of? (Go you!)

Question 5: What has brought you the MOST JOY in the last 6 months?

And truly… you could do this exercise once a month or once a quarter too… it’s really that easy & affirming!

Beautiful Ladies, you are moving FORWARD. Despite any setbacks, expectations, or how you feel about your progress, you are gaining traction, little by little, and it is setting you up for a burst of success down the road.

Now… go enjoy a cup of tea with all that time I just saved you. And savor the quiet moment… because you’re DOING GREAT.

Always Cheering You On!!
