For your half-year checkup — It’s time

This is a great week to assess your business.

I like to base my year around date milestones, and the Fourth of July holiday in the U.S. is a good one. It is basically the mid-point of the year. It’s also a slow week, affording me more time to spend on administrative tasks.

Here are some things I will evaluate and tasks I will complete this stretch:

  • Review my domains expiring for the rest of the year and renew the ones that I will definitely renew.
  • Run nameserver checks on my domain portfolio to make sure I don’t have any that haven’t been pointed to parking or sales platforms.
  • Look for “straggler” domains I won in expired domain auctions that are at registrars I don’t use and transfer these to one of my preferred registrars.
  • Generate P&L notes for all of my businesses, counting domain sales and this site. Check these against my yearly plan.
  • Reorganize and adjust for the second half of the year to make sure I hit my goals.
