10 Questions Every Florist Should Answer

10 Questions Every Florist Should Answer, realflowerbusiness.com

It’s Q2. Yes, it’s officially the second quarter of the year already. So…what did you accomplish in Q1?

Time flies by in business (and life!) sometimes….like for instance, the fact that we’re already 3 months into the year…

April’s beginning, but somehow there’s still that “new year” smell!….so today, I want you to focus! Just take a few minutes to slow down and reflect on your business by answering 10 questions. Click HERE to download 10 Questions Every Floralpreneur® Should Answer so you can save these questions to your device and revisit them later.

Note: You can print these pages out or write down the answers in a notebook or journal. Then, revisit your notes in 6 months, or a year, to reevaluate your answers. (If you get hung up on a question, just move on. Answer with your heart.)

10 Questions Every Floralpreneur® Should Answer:

1. Why did you start your business?

2. What part of running your business are you the best at?

3. What part(s) of running your business do you struggle with most?

4. What’s the #1 thing your customers thank you for?

5. What is your business known for?

6. What do you want your business to be known for?

7. What are your top revenue streams for your business? (list out every single revenue stream and how much money each one brings into your business.)

8. Who is your ideal customer? (This is the person you want to work with over and over again.)

9. How do you attract your ideal customers? (Where do you advertise? How do you reach them through your website and online marketing?)

10. What are your goals for the upcoming year?

 

Now, what else is on your mind? Brainstorm!…(if you haven’t already, then grab a notebook now!)


Closing notes from Alison:

In order to be in control of your business you must plan for success.

Remember, you cannot improve what you do not measure!

And if you want more clarity in your business, then get your plan in writing so that you can put those plans into motion!

Be brave enough to try something new…and never stop learning!

xo. -Alison

P.S. If you don’t have a business plan (yet!), I have a shortcut to help you do some basic business planning right now!…

You can download my 8-page Business Planning Basics Guide PLUS watch my 1-hour live chat to help walk you through the work in my “Business Plan Jumpstart”.

P.P.S. It’s been an April tradition for me to donate 10% of profits from all course sales to charity and this year I’m picking 3 different causes to donate to! Any course you purchase this April will help support The Vermont Foodbank, Charity Water and The Junior League of Champlain Valley Diaper Bank. Giving back feels good. If you’ve considered buying a course, now’s a great time to do it! Get the courses you want and help support those in need! Win-win.
