With Harry Potter providing a cooling off time at the theaters, families on vacation and many people taking a causal and slower pace to business, business owners have the perfect opportunity to do some reassessing, planning and maybe just catching up on neglected paperwork.
The slower summer pace is a good time to re-evaluate clients, your plan, align budgets or maybe create budgets. If 2011 started without a written plan, July is not too late to finish this year with a bang. Doing a plan for the next six months will align your business and build a foundation for 2012. It is really quite simple:
1) Vision – Where will this business be by December 31, 2011
3) Mission – Why do customers think we exist?
3) Core Values – How do we get things done?
4) Desired Outcomes – 3 to 8 goals that will help 2011 be a fabulous year
5) Projects – What has to happen to drive to the Vision and meet the Desired?
