Week 17 Focus – Content Creation
Focus Question: What role does content creation (or distribution) play in your world?

Description
At the heart of many virtual organizations, and service-based businesses is content creation. Whether it is designing a new course, writing a blog post, leveraging a series on Instagram, content creation is key. This is why the CBB and PlanDoTrack, includes the Content Pages. As a reminder, included in the Content Pages Section are:
Monthly Content Trackers – Use this to capture what you are posting every day of the month. Include the streams you are posting on, how many visits, likes, comments or other things in notes. You have space in the bottom right corner to note any themes which you are focusing on for the month. This information becomes a gold-mine for years to come!
The Monthly Content Journal – Use these to capture one word reflections on the day . Perhaps you are doing some research. Maybe focusing on capturing new ideas, thoughts than need an anchor somewhere.
31 Day Challenge – Don’t just do it once. Series create energy and generate community. What could you focus on daily for 30 or 31 days in your business to create a baseline, or spread the world?
Content Collaboration Plan - Who can you collaborate with? What do they do? Who do they serve? What could collaboration look like? Why would you want to collaborate or have a joint venture with them? What can you offer them in return for your partnership?

Activity
Review the different Content Tools available. How could you leverage these in your work, and around your current priorities?

What is the content you have created? Make a list and/or note how you might repurpose or repackage the material for different platforms. For example, if you have a blog post, could it be combined with others to create an article, or be converted into a video.

Review your current content calendars.
What’s working? What needs to be developed? When are you scheduling in time to create content?

52 Weeks of Plan, Do, Track - Week 13: Quarterly Check In: Skills

Week 13 Focus – Quarterly Check In: Skills
Focus Question: What have you accomplished in this last quarter? What are the tasks you want to undertake in the next quarter?


Description

In addition to building in time for weekly and monthly planning, it’s also important that we build in time for quarterly planning. For some, it may be easier to break down annual goals into quarterly milestones and micro-projects. For others, you might work upwards from monthly themes and projects to quarterly plans.
A quarterly check in can look different for each virtual professional or business owner. From dedicating an hour for review to ear-marking a full day with the team to review and plan for the time ahead. Be sure to use the weekly, monthly and annual resources available to you in the workbook planner.

Research/Story
Create a quarterly review day. Put a date on the calendar every quarter can help to update certain tasks. Set a date in your calendar to look at the following quarterly items:
A. Review financials – sales, expenses, revenue. What needs to be changed? Where is revenue going? What is cash flow like? What about the accumulation of debt?
What is the financial data saying? What is that status around invoicing and accounts payable.
B. Update your metrics. Complete your statistics.
What are the things you are tracking in the Monthly Daily Trackers?
Over the course of the last 3 months ask yourself:
  • What are the patterns you are noticing?      
  • What has shifted?
  • What has stayed the same?
  • What are you surprised about?
C. Note programming/services delivered:
  • What have you been doing?
  • What has been selling?
  • What engagements did you get – speaking, coaching, training?
  • How much volume of work have you been involved in creating and/or delivering? What’s working? What’s not?
Ensure that you have a footprint or record of your work - What was the focus of your work, major achievements, contact details. Have you put a copy of material in your portfolio (digital or hard-copy)?
D. Focus on project related work:
  • What are the projects you are STARTING?
  • What are the projects IN PROCESS?
  • What are the projects you are COMPLETING?
E. Examine resourcing:
What resourcing is helping you? Consider:
  • Materials
  • People
  • IT
What are the contingency resources available to you and you ok?
F. Content Creation and Visibility:
  • What is on your content calendar for the next series of time?
  • What content have you created that you can scale or replicate?
Client/Customer log and statistics. How much coaching are you doing? What skills have you been leveraging?
G. Organizational Learning Check Point
  • What’s working and what’s not?
  • What key learning has been undertaken?
  • What learning needs are there going forward?
H. What are the other things you want to review?
I. Looking ahead – What are the main priorities for the next 3 months?
What are the creative projects which are going to pull you forward?

Activity
Schedule in 15-30 minutes to undertake your quarterly review. It might include a selection of these questions listed above.

As part of the review you might also undertake or revisit any self-assessments such as Wheels you have completed.

In both the Coaching Business Builder and PlanDoTrack, I have included a Wheel of Small Business Mastery (page 8 in Coaching Business Builder, or page 27/28 in PlanDoTrack) and/or Virtual and Remote Work page 14 in PlanDoTrack).

Take a few minutes to score yourself and revisit where you are at. What has shifted? What new skills have you learned or started to master due to use? What new skills are required on the horizon?

Connection to the Workbook and Planner
In addition to the wheels there are four sets of quarterly tools throughout the two planners. Be sure to take some time to explore these tools in Section 5 of the Workbook/Planner:
Quarterly To Dos – Use this to capture key to-dos in each of the 4 quarters of the year. Some professionals will use this as a warehouse over the course of the year.
Quarterly reflections: Use the chart to capture:
  • Projects
  • Achievements
  • Learning
  • Opportunities
Quarterly Planner Sheet: Use the one page to identify your top 5 goals for that period, identifying projects, also highlight key task on each month (5 weeks outline per month)
Finally, join Jennifer for a live or on-demand quarterly planning session where she provides you with a step-by-step series of questions to think about for your quarterly plan.
