CREATING A GREAT YEAR-END!

This week I’ve had several conversations about planning,
the process by which we bridge the gap between our current
reality and the future we want. Fortunately, there is no
trick to planning the future of your business!
Yes, there are fancy systems you can buy. Of course there
are consultants, books, seminars and software to help if
you want or need them. But you only really need two things,
a list of objectives and a calendar.
Why not make the next three months your best ever? Why not
end 2013 with momentum and joy?! This is not hard!
Ask yourself two questions:
1. What do I want to accomplish in the next 90 days? List
your objectives and measurable results. Write it all down.
List the number of sales, the number of employees, the
amount of money you want to make. List anything that really
matters to the growth of your business.
2. Then ask yourself, what are the STEPS to get those
things done? For each item, ask yourself what has to be
done. Do you need new contracts, new equipment, more sales
people, more office space, longer hours, or better
advertising? For each desirable, make a list of the STEPS.
Then, put each step on a calendar. If you need a new
computer, buy it by October 15th. If you need a mailing
campaign, design it this week, print it in two weeks, mail
it by November 1st.
This is called planning! List the results, list the steps,
put them on a calendar. And of course one thing remains: Do
the work that needs to be done! End the year on a high
note! End the year with greater profits, less stress,
better momentum. You can do this!
