MasterList:: Do it YOUR way in 2012

 

Just as important as defining what success is for yourself, is figuring out how you’re going to get there. I found 3 posts about planning your business in 2012 that focus on just that:

 

“Make your own rules and challenge the “best practices.”  Remember it’s your business, your blog, your organization and you have to live with the results. No one ever made a difference by selling themselves short or preaching from the middle of the pack.”

-31 Pro Tips for a Successful, Satisfying, and Insanely Profitable 2012, on Copyblogger

 

 

“When it comes to running your business, there are no rules. (There are some laws, but there are no rules.) What works for someone else’s business may not work for yours.”

-4 steps to your business year, on Designing an MBA

 

 

“It’s an (annoying!) fact of life that things change. We may have to add, drop or alter projects as new realities emerge.”

What’s an ideal 2012 look like for your business? And how are you planning to get it there?
