Problem is, if you're struggling or just getting started then the idea of making a 6-figure breakthrough can seem like just a dream.

So, to help you out, I've created a simple checklist of what you need to not only make this breakthrough happen for you, but to experience it in your business . . . fast!

Here's a simple checklist of what every business owner must put into place to quickly create 6-figures. Remember what I always say: it's easier to make MORE money than it is to make less, once you know the secrets!

6-Figure Checklist

* Passion Do you have undying passion for the transformation you create for your clients? Passion will give you energy on the days when you feel like nothing's working. Tip: remind yourself every day WHY you're doing what you do.

* Plan First I read success stories about entrepreneurs who spent months creating their plan, then I read stories about others who "just winged" their way to success. Which is true? They both are!

What I did to first create a 6-figure business, and now a 7-figure business, is design a business MODEL that clearly outlines each product or program I'm going to offer for the next 1-2 years. It's really a blueprint because it tells me which program or product to offer first, second and so on. By removing the guesswork I'm free to take action.

If you're only offering 1-on-1 services, or you're offering a hodgepodge of different programs or products without clearly knowing how each one leads to the next, then you're likely working too hard and most definitely missing out on opportunities to make more money.

This is why re-designing their business model is one of the first things I do with my Platinum clients. They love it because it transforms chaos and confusion into clarity and simplicity.

* Clarity Most entrepreneurs have a billion ideas but struggle with creating enough focus to actually implement even a small fraction of them. My recommendation? Get crystal clear on WHO you help, then get just as clear on the situation they find themselves in that you can help transform for them.

For example: while I'm interested in many aspects of marketing, it wasn't until I focused my passion, energy and attention on the topic of money and pricing that my business took off. Interviews, JV opportunities, speaking offers and clients flowed in.

The same can happen for you. If you need help getting this clear I recommend seeking out a coach who can help you discover your niche. Good news is that the more topic specific you are, the faster and easier your business is likely to grow.

* Courage If you want a leap in your income then you need to take a leap somewhere else in your business (maybe even in your life, too!). Most women hang back, wanting to know "how it's all going to work out" before they leap. Sorry, ladies, that's cheating and it doesn't work.

But take heart! The more frequently you make a leap such as joining a coaching program, attending an event, learning something new or hiring more team, the more you strengthen your courage muscle. Remember, courage doesn't mean being fearless. Far from it! What it DOES mean is acting from your heart, even in the face of fear.

Isn't There More To Creating 6-Figures Than This?

Sure, there are the specific action steps you'll need to take. But truthfully, if you focus on these four critical steps FIRST, the specific action steps will practically take care of themselves.
