@ Jenn… I downloaded the forms. I’m using them for my writing, mind and personal development and teen life coaching. I have a feeling I may combine the mind/personal development and teen life coaching. Stay tuned!

In reply to Amandah. The form you have them fill out... do you have a link to it? I'd love to see the kind of information you gather as an example.

Funny you should ask. I just started overhauling mine. This was my 1st year of really trying some different things. Some working-some not-and some I need to revisit.

Thanks for sharing the forms, Jenn.

Great article!

I just had a deal fall through and thought to myself, “I need to overhaul my business strategy.” The deal falling through was partially my fault because I didn’t nail down deadline dates (I know, I know) and the opportunity was a gamble in the first place. Obviously, it didn’t pay off. Sigh. No use crying over spilled milk.

One change I’ve implemented is putting a form on my website which is helping me determine my Ideal Client. If someone is interested in my writing services, they MUST fill out the form. If they don’t, I’ll wish them success with their business.

Thanks for the forms!
