What’s your Plan?
It’s fast approaching that time of the year! I know you don’t want to hear it because you probably don’t have time to even think about how you are going to find the time, let alone actually find the time…. but you need to! Or do you?
I used to dread this time of the year & initially couldn’t understand why the Directors or Board needed this done every year. I can’t tell you the endless hours I’d spend with my head buried in reports, meeting with staff & clients, gathering market intel, preparing swots, developing marketing plans but most importantly the many hours I spent not supporting my team and essentially out of the business. However, it was good way to measure the success of the business and set myself and the team on track for the next financial year, which allowed my business to constantly strive high and achieve.
Quiet simply “ A well thought out business plan is a great way to stop, check in and re set! This needs to be a priority”
But where will you find the time? One year I was fortunate enough to have a consultant (just like me), come into the business and support me with getting my business plan done. The end result was the same, it was still me driving the project, but I was less stressed, I didn’t work ridiculous hours to get it done and my staff didn’t feel neglected.
