Small business marketing coach: Your SELF-check

"I always wanted to be somebody, but I should have been more specific."
-- Lily Tomlin

"The self is not something ready-made, but in continuous formation through choice of action."
-- John Dewey

"A somebody was once a nobody who wanted to and did."
-- John Burroughs

As a small business marketing coach, let me offer you this Self-check:

• If you were to fully live your life, what is the first change you would make?
• What areas of your life could be upgraded or improved?
• What could you start working on today that would make the biggest difference?
• How could you make this goal more specific or measurable?
• What would be the biggest impact from achieving your goal(s)?
• What do you love? How can you bring in more of it?
• What do you hate? How can you eliminate/reduce almost all of it?
  
• What's one thing you would love to do before you die?
• What could you do right now that would really put a smile on your face?
• For your life to be perfect, what would have to change?
• What do you really, really, REALLY want? (Really!!)
• Are you willing to be the hero of your own story?
• What obstacles might stop you?
• Who are your allies? What weapons and tools do you have?
• What - or who - is at hand right now that might hold the key to your success?
