With the holidays approaching, and we’re officially in the season of giving.
Our kids were super keen and started putting together their wish lists weeks ago (basketball and Pokémon are the themes this year).
But what about your business?
What’s on your wish list?
If your goal is to hit $1M+ in revenue next year, it’s time to create a Christmas list for your business—a list of the things it really needs to grow.
Here’s the good news: you don’t need reindeer or elves in the workshop.
Just clear focus and action in the areas that will have the biggest impact.
If you’re not sure where to start, we’re sharing three "must-haves" for your $1M+ business list this Christmas:
THE $1M+ CHRISTMAS WISH LIST FOR YOUR BUSINESS
1. A Marketing Plan That Actually Works
Why it matters: Marketing is your business’s growth engine, but scattershot efforts (posting randomly on social media or running ads without a clear strategy) won’t get you there.
You need a plan that attracts the right clients consistently.
What you need:
- A clear understanding of your ideal clients: Who are they, and what do they need from you?
- A structured plan to reach and engage them: Think consistent messaging, engaging content, and targeted campaigns.
- Metrics to measure success: Engagement rates, lead generation, and conversion rates to know what’s working (and what’s not).
Gift idea: If this sounds overwhelming, ask Santa for help mapping out your marketing plan with a coach or strategist. š
2. A Reliable Sales System
Why it matters: Leads from your marketing efforts won’t turn into revenue without a structured sales process.
A predictable sales system helps you close deals faster and with less stress.
What you need:
- grow
Gift idea: Consider investing in a CRM and the right processes to keep you organised and improve sales conversion.
3. Time to Work on Your Business, Not Just In It
Why it matters: Growth requires strategy, and strategy takes time.
If you’re buried in day-to-day tasks, you won’t have the bandwidth to make the big-picture decisions that move your business forward.
What you need:
- Ruthlessly protect your time: Set boundaries around your time, like scheduling dedicated “CEO hours” each week.
- Prioritise properly: Focus on high-priority activities that move the needle, like strategy and revenue-generating tasks.
Gift idea: Give yourself time. Block out the first hour of every day to plan and work on the priorities that will help grow your business (NOT the day to day work).
Bottom Line:
Your $1M Christmas List doesn’t need to be long or complicated— but it does need to be focused on the areas that drive growth.
Ask yourself:
Does my marketing bring in consistent leads?
Is my sales process converting those leads into clients?
Am I giving myself time to focus on strategy and growth?
If not, let’s talk.
Whether it’s refining your marketing, streamlining your sales, or freeing up your time, we can help you check off your list and set your business up for a successful 2024.
