What marketing techniques help maximise sales?

As a new business owner, how do I find direction for myself and then prioritize direction I find for myself?

• I'm on my second business. The first one was operated when I was a young 23 year old and overall I found it better to move on and educate myself more, after weighing out the pros and the cons of running that first business for 2 years. It's 5 years later now, and I've made business plans and implemented many of them to open a new business. The new business is a Website Design / SEO / Internet marketing firm that will be run solo till finances get built up and I can develop teams within the business. I know how do do all these and I know how to market my business; but I feel like I'm missing so many things. From the simplest thing of making a protocol for how the phone conversation will go from start to finish - To making contracts for when sales come through and much more --- I've done a majority of the work as far as building the website, marketing the company in business directories and other areas of the web, did some other internet marketing techniques, and still have plenty of internet marketing strategies to tackle.... but I'm trying to evenly balance all the work being put into the business as not to focus solely on marketing for 2 weeks, then switch to something else and go back to marketing, etc. Much to do, but trying to even the playing field while i do it. Here's my question / my problem. So, this question/problem probably sounds odd... but it is what it is and I'm having the issue... I have a check list of things to accomplish before I (basically push the button) to get all my marketing advertisements running over the web - but I can't get myself to get going on the rest of the list.... and am feeling overwhelmed that I don't have everything I need to be able to accept phone calls on 2 levels. First level is to finish the list of things that I wrote that need to be completed. 2nd level is making sure that the list I built is enough and I don't need to do more to make sure it runs smoothly and successfully. I guess I've come to the conclusion that my issues lies in the fact that I am used to being an employee and told what to do and I do it... and i always do it great. Now, I am having to just do it on my own with no direction. Sounds silly, I know; but seriously, I know most of what i need to do, but can't find it in me on how to find my own direction to do what I know I need to do... without being told. Another element I suppose is the fact that many of the things I'm doing on this list are new things that I know how to do but have never done -Hence just learning as I go basically. So, if anyone has any suggestions or know where i can look for guidance let me know. I think the basic issue boils down to my inability to find direction for myself without being told what to do in my up and coming business. Even I know what needs to be done, somewhat, i have to... I'm finding it hard to, for the first time, be my own guidance and my own boss. - I know once i get going and get the hang of it, I will be unstoppable and the momentum will bring success as my work performance has always proven... I just need to get there. Thanks for your help, if anyone knows how a new business owner can find direction solely on their own, and for themselves. :)
