The Business of Meetings – Episode 248 Unlocking Success: The 5 Essentials You Need for 2025 with Eric Rozenberg  As the year draws toward a close, Eric shares five essential aspects you need to consider to set yourself up for success in the coming year.  Join us as Eric dives into a mix of visionary ideas and concrete steps that you can implement immediately to ensure next year is your best year ever! 1. Define Your Long-Term Vision The foundation of success begins with a clear long-term vision. Consider why you started your business and what you want to achieve over the next 10 years. Your vision is your guiding light in the inevitable ups and downs you will experience as an entrepreneur. Even though team issues, unexpected crises, or technical glitches will likely arise, having a written vision will help you stay grounded. Review it every six months and use it as a compass during tough times. Remember, your long-term vision is not just for next year. It is your North Star for the entire journey you have ahead. 2. Set Clear and Measurable Objectives Translate your vision into actionable, measurable objectives for the next 12 months. Goals, whether they are sales targets or strategic implementations, are there to guide your focus and energy. Be ambitious yet realistic. Aim for goals that stretch your capabilities without overwhelming your resources. Review and refine your objectives quarterly, and involve your team in your process. Sharing clear objectives ensures everyone understands their role and prevents distractions from derailing progress. Let your goals serve as a filter for prioritizing activities and staying on track. 3. Create Your Ideal Week Map out your schedule, blocking time for family, personal health, and key business responsibilities. Life is unpredictable, so always allow some flexibility for unforeseen events. A visual plan will help you focus on what truly matters without overloading your days. Translate your ideal week into your calendar and commit to tasks like daily sales outreach. Remember, success lies in deliberate time management and ensuring that everything that matters gets done. 4. Master the Sales Process Sales is the lifeblood of any business, and success requires systems and consistency. Develop a sales playbook that includes your pitch, common objections, scripts, and processes. Implement a CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system to track interactions and commitments. A well-defined sales process will ensure you and your team operate effectively. Block dedicated time for sales activities in your calendar and review progress regularly. When you implement the right tools and processes, your sales efforts will consistently yield results. 5. Prioritizing Your Accountability Accountability is the glue that holds a plan together. Having an accountability buddy like a coach or a peer group or having someone to hold you responsible will ensure your consistent progress. Set weekly check-ins to review your commitments and plan upcoming actions. Remember that accountability fosters focus, forces follow-through, and keeps you aligned with your goals. It is a simple yet powerful tool for turning your plans into results. Final Thoughts To set yourself up for success next year, focus on a clear long-term vision, measurable objectives, an ideal week, a structured sales process, and accountability. By implementing those strategies, you will move from scattered efforts to a thriving, purposeful business. Connect with Eric Rozenberg On LinkedIn Facebook Instagram Website  

In this episode, Clare explains how to get yourself ready to move countries, starting by looking at the 5 most important things you need to have covered well before your planned move data. The list includes your passport, visa, driving license, and travel insurance leading into medical insurance. As well as your phone, bank account, credit score and emergency funds.  Clare goes into a lot of detail, so includes tips that you are not likely to have heard elsewhere. KEY TAKEAWAYS Without your passport and visa, you aren´t going anywhere. If you need a visa understand what your options are, so you choose the right one for what you are planning to do. Make sure your visa is a multiple-entry one so you can travel home in an emergency or take vacations. Check whether you can work or not using that visa. Always keep copies of your passports, visas, driving licences and other important documents. For most places your passport will have to be valid for at least 6 months from the date you enter the country you are travelling to. Understand how long you can drive using your existing licence in your new country (if at all). Make sure it has as much validity on it as possible. Travel insurance is needed, but it will not cover all medical bills. You will need medical insurance for the rest of your stay. Some visas require you to have full medical insurance already in place. Make sure you can use your phone in your new country. Make sure it is unlocked and will accept a local SIM. Look at international banking and compare it to local banking options. To be able to open a local bank account you will need to meet certain criteria, understand what that is and work out if you will qualify when you first arrive. Get your credit score from your home country, often, it will help you to rent a home in your new country. BEST MOMENTS “Check that you have some blank pages in your passport to allow for stamps and visas.  .” “My driving license expired while I was in my first few months in America, and that was really unhelpful.” “Ideally you don't want to have a single day in your new country without medical cover… have your travel insurance migrate into the local medical insurance.” “Mishaps, or what ifs can arise and you're going to need money, pretty much always, to get yourself out of a situation.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://visaguide.world/tips/passport-6-month-rule https://www.insureandgo.com https://www.revolut.com https://monzo.com https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/credit-cards/travel-credit-cards ABOUT THE HOST: Clare Kay is a seasoned global traveller and professional with a rich background in international sales, customer service, and personal development.
