b'What I do to \\u2018check myself\' when I have a shiny new idea\\nIf I had a dollar for every time I had a new idea for my business, I\\u2019d be a very rich woman. And I\\u2019ll be honest, one of the most fun (and rewarding) parts of being an entrepreneur is the opportunity to experiment and try new things.\\xa0\\nBut one of the biggest lessons I\\u2019ve learned over the years is that you shouldn\\u2019t always go full steam ahead on adding new offers to your business -- whether it be a course, a workshop, Live or Virtual event, or something else.\\nIt\\u2019s smart to err on the side of caution, and really evaluate whether it\\u2019s going to be something that adds value to your audience, and increases your bottom line.\\nAnd here\\u2019s why:\\nIf you spin the wheels trying to make every idea that you have happen, you\\u2019re going to lose focus on something that might already be working really well.\\nNow, there are certainly times when you should add something new to your business. I\\u2019ve done this many times.\\nBut every time I have a shiny new idea that I just can\\u2019t stop thinking about, I force myself to take a pause, and run through my simple, 4-step \\u2018checklist\\u2019 to make sure that it\\u2019s really something that is going to benefit my business.\\nAnd guess what? I\\u2019m sharing that exact 4-step checklist with you in this episode, so you can use it whenever you find yourself in a similar situation.\\nSo grab your notebook and be sure to take notes, because what you\\u2019re about to hear could save you a lot of time and money in the long run.\\nRate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts\\n"I love Amy and Online Marketing Made Easy." <-- If that sounds like you, please consider rating and reviewing my show!
