Mapping the past, present and future. A fun exercise in reality, dreaming and planning.

I did something fun tonight.  I have a map on the wall above my desk.  The plan has been to stick a pin in the city where each of my clients lives.  I kept putting it off, but for some reason tonight it got done.

 What do you think?  I'll share my thoughts below the picture.

As I was sticking in the pins I thought about each client. 

• Some of these names represent businesses I am currently working with. 
  
• Some of these names represent businesses I am no longer working with.
  
• There are 2 names of current team members.  I'm in the process of adding a lot more names to that list.
• Odd how the center of the states has very few pins.
• There are a number of clients that are or have been outside of the US. 
  

You may be wondering...what's the big deal?  So you have clients all over.  This was a nice reality check for me.  I started my business in September of 2009.  I've been refining and restructuring lately and I wanted a reminder of where I have been and where I am going.  I'd love it if in 12 months I could post another picture of my map and have the number of pins double...or in 2 years have it quadruple.

Wondering why?  Not so I can say "Hey, look at my map."  LOL  Rather, so I can say, "Look at the number of businesses I have impacted."

Question for you...
What would your map look like today?
Are most of your clients local?  ...are they spread out across America? ...the world?

What would you like your map to look like in a year?  How about 2 years?
What are you doing today to make that a reality?

I'd love to see your maps if you have one.  Email it to me at jenniej@smallbizlifeline.com or post it here in the comments...if you can.

Talk to you soon,

Jorgens family - It's all about them!
I help other businesses succeed, because others helped us.

I'm just going to claim it and accept it...

It has become clear finally.  I need to just claim it..."I help business owners use Infusionsoft better!" 

For quite a while, I've been trying to move away from the Infusionsoft Niche.  No longer!  

I'm sitting here waiting for the "Business Strategy Mapping in Infusionsoft" session to start and excited about showing the new changes to my clients and prospects. If you don't have Infusionsoft yet,  now is the time to get it!  It has truly become the All-in-One Sales and Marketing tool for small businesses.  They have made it user friendly and one of the most amazing parts is the Campaign Builder.  I can't wait to show you all about it.

For now,  check out the info on Infusionsoft and I'll update you again soon.
