Project Planning Video

People who don’t work at home believe that business comes easy for us.

The thought of earning a living in the same place you in which reside seems glamorous. But we have no time to explain the many tasks we perform each day.

One of those tasks is tracking marketing campaigns from idea to completion. In the past I’ve mentioned the problem I’ve had tracking my projects so that I know at a glance its mission, objectives, and results.

This part of business is predestined when you work for someone else, but when you’re on your own, it’s the crucial component that ensures your livelihood.

After several attempts to find a workable project sheet, I created my own, which I’ve added to this page in abbreviated format and explain through video. Preparation of this sheet lets me determine whether my vision will flourish or fail. I’m better able to plan my projects and track each campaign because there’s something concrete for me to review and update as the project moves forward.

Perhaps you plan better using a computer-based program. In 17 years I’ve learned the importance of maintaining a hard copy in case of malfunctions. Consider placing a print version of your plan in a binder a back up.

Project planning, whether on paper or buy computer, ensures the results you desire for long-term success. The only foreseeable problem is convincing people who don’t work at home that it takes an incredible amount of determination to make what you do look easy.
