Forget Planning the 2nd Half of the Year...Embrace Choosing, Selecting and Acting to Achieve Profits & Productivity

Forget business planning the 2nd half of the year and embrace choosing, selecting and acting...

Welcome to “Conversations every business owner has with their team in July.”  It’s the start of the second half of the year and let’s forget traditional business planning and start embracing - choosing, selecting and acting now.  Here’s why...

Traditional business planning as applied by big corporations and government is bureaucratic and stifling.  An entrepreneur and business owner success requires - faster easier and flexible direction setting ways more aligned to their passion and control mindset.  Something more empowering...here’s how!

1. Choose what you want, need, must have in your professional and personal life to feel happy about your progress for the time period selected.  That’s your future.  Prioritize the list to the top two to three must haves.
2. Select what you want or must take from your past into the future.  Think of this as if you were packing for a trip and have only two suitcases.  All of your past is not required for the journey - so prioritize and select the best experiences, thoughts, feelings, relationships, knowhow to create the future chosen.  
3. Act on what and where you’ve chosen to go using what you’ve selected from your past to take into the future.   The more compelling and clear your future the harder to veer off course when the moment of choice arrives or the momentum of the day overwhelms you.  You’ll align your actions, behaviors and decisions to achieve what makes you happy about your progress.  

This approach embraces an entrepreneur's attitude of business and life by design vs. happenstance.

Now go have July’s conversation with your team and forget planning and start choosing, selecting and acting to achieve more and work less.  

Want to know more?  Let’s talk.  I’ll offer a complimentary 60 to 90 min session to understand your situation and I’ll guarantee you at least a half dozen implementable ideas to maximize your effectiveness in the 2nd half of the year.

Top 3 Categories of Questions Every Business Owner Must Ask Their Team in July

What are the three categories of questions every business owner must ask their team in July and why?  Watch YouTube...

It’s the start of the second half of the year and let’s cover these three categories of questions.

1. How did we do compared to our ActionPLAN?  
   • Marketing - How many new prospects were attracted to us and for existing customers how much interest was sparked for additional products and services?   
   • Sales - How have our offers performed to add new customers and for existing customers increase average dollar sale and number of transactions?  
   • Operations - How effective and efficient were we in delivering on time, to spec and budget?
2. What did we learn and what are the implications for us?   Ask what are customers telling us?  How are our systems keeping up - technologically, regulatory, competitively?  What skills and competencies should our team be adding?  
3. What do we need to believe to achieve and our second half goals?

There really is a 4th category too.  “How can I, the owner, help you, my team member, best?”  Remember your role as owner is to develop your team to delight your customers and they’ll take care of business and the business takes care of you - the owner.

Now go have July’s conversation.
