Outcome: The goal of this series of articles is to find the quickest, simplest and easiest method to create a clear over-all understanding of all the steps needed to achieve a goal.
In short: A Visual Business Plan
Yesterday I mentioned the idea of mind mapping your projects or even your business so that you can achieve a clear over-all view of all the steps involved to achieving your goals. (I will include this article shortly).
So I promptly headed out to the nearest store, purchased 10 yards of paper and a million highlighters and then plastered my entire office wall with mind maps. The process was exciting at first but all I ended up with were more lists - only this time they were splattered around a center point as opposed to jotted down in one of my many note books I have lying around.
So after I 10 minutes of fighting through rolls of paper I had lying all over the floor and desk, I went back online and found this; online mind mapping software that not only allows you to map your documents stored on your PC - but also to create goals and project plans! I have just downloaded it and will keep you updated as I go! Download it for FREE here: http://www.thebrain.com/c/personalbrain/?c=32
Until next time, Happy Marketing!

Yesterday's article as seen on Entrepreneurs United FB Page:
The importance of planning when starting or running your own business is paramount to your success! As the old saying goes - failing to plan is planning to fail. But if you are anything like me, you probably have over 5 different note boo...ks with random notes and ideas listed in number form with absolutely zero clear objectivity or expected outcomes. How can we combat this? With Mind Maps! Mind Maps are clear, visual anchors that allow your brain to see the entire project as well as understand the various steps it needs to take to achieve the goal. Mind Maps can be used for all sorts of things from planning your holiday to building a business. Here is a video covering the very basics of mind mapping. We've all done it or seen a mind map before - but it is good to get a reminder before we start: http://youtu.be/wLWV0XN7K1g
