I have started several businesses. Some have been successful and some have failed. The ones that failed were because I failed to establish goals and benchmarks. Without a definite goal or a weekly measuring stick of success, I was unable to focus my attention on the business. The businesses that succeed involved a detailed plan with a set goal. I established a plan to reach the goal, and I established levels along the way. Even a small goal is good. Once achieved it will provide motivation to reach the next goal. Also, I have a rule in business. No One Works For Free. Don't let others take your time and energy without compensating you. I wish you success and I hope to hear more about your business in the future. Very minor, but the link to the contest doesn't seem to be proper in your listing. the Leo finance challenge you can click here. seems to be a uncompleted link.

hi @methodofmad!
first of all thanks for your time to share with me your knowledge. I really appreciate it. and yes I think I forgot about measuring stick. Will set weekly goals and try to achieve it. I also got derailed with my goals because of personal matters but thanks to this challenge as I got a chance to reflect and analyze what's going on with my business. I used to put weekly goals but something happened along the way and I forgot about it. And yes, you are right, no one works for free. I have to keep that in mind.
and about the link. I corrected it now as @ifarmgirl informed me about it.
thanks again for your time and hoping to write another post about my business that it is back to sunny day :)
