Bravo to you for taking a hard look at things! Takes such courage and integrity. This post resonated. The questions are powerful — and you know the more powerful a question, the more powerful the answer. For the close-ended questions, I’d suggest a follow-up, open-ended ‘how’ or ‘what can I’ question.

I’ve asked these questions and recently, with the social networking craze, we’ve asked them more regularly! I’ve found that having a clear plan or mission makes it easier to answer these necessry questions.

Congratulations on writing and posting this one – it will help many people! Thank you Kim.

The more clearly defined you are about your niche, the better you will reach an audience that can clearly identify what you have to say and sell.

Is my blog defined? Or is it trying to cover too many topics, be all things to all people?

And yes, I’ve done similar exercises in my business.

It is so easy to get caught up in “Bright Shiny Object” syndrome… where we follow the newest, latest and greatest and leave our business in the dust for a while.

I find, one of the biggest obstacles that business owners face is lack of focus.

Having a clear plan, and knowing how to get to that plan – and will move you through your plan and what will steer you away from the plan – is a sure-fire way to create success in your business.

Really liked the post! It’s amazing what we see when we take an outside approach to our businesses and answer some of the hard questions we have to ask ourselves. I find myself going over these things every four to six months to make sure I am staying on track with my big overall goals.

Sometimes the answers hurt, but they are very important if we plan to grow and succeed with our online business.
