Guide To Quarterly Planning For Your Online Business
Are you quarterly planning for your online business? I’m not talking about a huge extensive plan, just getting your projects laid out for the next quarter. Where you want to focus your time and energy.
Let Me Guide You Through A Quarterly Planning…
At the end of last year did you get an idea of the types of projects that you wanted to complete in the up coming year? If not, no big deal. Do it now.
Brainstorm
Brainstorm an exhausted list of all the projects that you want to accomplish in the next four to five quarters. When I say exhausted, I mean braindump all the ideas and information from your head on the list. No project is too small or simple for the list. Write down everything that pops into your head, no judgment.
Narrow It Down
Get out your pen and paper and get the projects out on paper. I like to highlight, cross off and of course color code.

Align
With your brainstorm list, figure out which projects are aligned with the vision and mission of your online business.
Select projects that are aligned with your online business and rank each of the tasks by importance. This will aid in where you need to start.
Each quarter will be assigned three projects to achieve! Basically, one per month. Start with the projects that have the most impact on the growth of your online business or is the quickest path to cash. Either highlight the three tasks for Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 with a different color or note the Q in front of the task.
Now on to quarterly planning for your online business
Now, it's time to organize your next quarter plan. From your list above what did you select as projects to work on for the upcoming quarter?
Do you have a project management application?
If you have a project management system you can set this all up inside so you know what to do when. If not, paper will work just fine.
At the top, write out your online business mission, vision, and goals for the upcoming quarter. Under this break it into three columns. One for each project.
Under the Project Header
Now we are going to put in all the tasks that need to be completed by who and when. Will you need any resources, such as a new software application, to complete the task?
Not all the tasks must be completed by you. It’s very important that you stay in your lane and delegate out the tasks that can be done by someone else.
Little Side Note
If you’re planning a large launch to take place in the next quarter and you know all focus needs to go into this. This would be your only project for the quarter.
