Do you have a business Plan for 2004....
 

or are you just going to drift aimlessly like this year? Plan your work and work your plan! Wise advice someone once told me :2 cents:

Whats a plan?

We end every year with a new list of goals for the next year. It has served us well.

yea i think i may pay some taxes this year..

second thought maybe not... :glugglug

I feel the same way.

My plan is detailed in my sig :1orglaugh

Pretty soon the only hosting companies left will be the ones who host on your network.

Can you buy them out as well?

he he he ...........NICE ONE T:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :thumbsup

still working on plan for 2003. just about finsihed it

for the first time in 2 years, I actually have a plan. maybe thats why I'm still a small fish in this HUGE pond.

I always have a plan :)

Work a lot less and make a lot more money than this year. That's my plan.

I want to buy out a fortune 1000 company

I have a plan, though I don't have a timeline for it. Is that bad though?

Cheers,
Matt

1. Pump the GFY regs for info.


2. Fail to apply the info.


3. Revert to drunken webmaster style and run my empire from my Blackberry at the corner pub as usual.


Good luck to all in the new year!

yeah im planned for 2004, going to try and move away from sponsors more and do my own things.

I have a rough plan that is broken into 3 or 4 detailed components, but it has never gotten anymore detailed or formalized than hand written notes in a notebook.

On the other hand, I've reinvested almost EVERY dollar I've made this year preparing for the execution of that plan, so I have high hopes.

less time working and money
more time for posting at gfy

Do more work and less pay

That's a good goal to shoot for:thumbsup

business plans are over rated

My plan is to make $, with fewer headaches.

business plans and timelines are GOOD

BUT

if you force yourself to meet deadlines, your overall life might not get better... coz deadlines = stress (most of the time :))

thereby; you gotta be a tough one to force yourself a deadline, work hard to meet it, then due to lack of time work around the clock for two weeks in order to really completely meet that deadline... while you could have just as well moved that deadline a little forward, nobody's actually waiting for your work to finish (most of the time)

in brief; gotta be a tough one to force yourself to ruïn your life for a period of time...

Today GFY ...........Tomorrow the WORLD...........:1orglaugh just leave me a couple of Morsels, I dont want much , just a little taste:Graucho

I've got everything planned for once. If all goes well, the future looks very promising. :thumbsup

You have to plan, by the month year and more.

This year we will move into the new studio extension, buy more equipment, take on another assistant in the studio, another in the office to correct images.

We also hope to be offering two more professional photographers work in a short time.

We will go into full time production of content and be doing at around two days a week custom and two days for ourselves. We will also be letting out the studio with models for travelling crews who want to shoot in Czech.

We will be launching out new designed content sites with some new and better features. Will also be launching a site for video content.

The Plug In Lease Gallery should be up and running in a couple of months, we put it on the back burner due to pressure of work,it's now moved up.

The only problems will arise with staff, one shooter is out having a baby and we are not sure when she will reurn. Another is trying to get pregnant and Eva and I want another one. So we need to recruit some good people and there is the problem.

Yes I have a plan for 2004, but I'm not sure it will work :1orglaugh

You are one Busy Guy!! Good Luck with all your plans Paul, all the best in 04 :thumbsup :thumbsup

Plan: Get Rich Or Die Trying.

Good idea! Every success book i read has mentioned a plan of some sort!

same as I do everyday - try and take over the world.

my plan is simply to continue listening to webmasters on what they want for content, then get it - keep pricing reasonable, make friends in the process and be careful not to get screwed by those who call me their friend

Just double the sales and hit the 2M? border :Graucho

Right on , did you ever read Think and Grow Rich, by Napoleon Hill ? Used to be my bible years ago:2 cents:

No plan for me. Just try out some new stuff and continue doing what I do best. I think most ppl have that except the bigger companies that actually have a biz plan.

You have to have a plan in business, otherwise, its a hobby.

I have a full plan for 2004 that is broken into months / weeks / days depending on the tasks that are set up.

MS Project is the way to go. You can track it all

less post and more sleep :thumbsup
