About this episode
As we approach the end of November, 'Business Planning Month', it's time to look at how to put these plans into action for the coming year. Far too often, these plans are created and then relegated to a drawer where they are seldom, if ever, looked at again. Today, Matt and Garrett are here to show you how to make sure that this valuable document remains an active component of your business, allowing you to enjoy the success you so richly deserve. They begin by examining the need to consistently review the plan, and offer an insightful road trip analogy which demonstrates the value in making incremental changes as necessary throughout the year. They also offer some ideas on how to ensure your plan remains a priority, including accountability partners and quarterly breakdowns. They finish up by sharing yet another analogy, this time about guided missiles, which neatly sums up the value of keeping your business plan active all through the year, and checking on it regularly so that you can adjust your course when needed to reach your desired destination. Listen in today and plan on making next year a huge success.
