A Simple Strategic Plan is YOUR roadmap for success. The question is: Are you using a GPS or are you driving the back roads? A thoughtful Strategic Plan provides clear direction. Running a business without one leads to unnecessary struggle!
So what is your strategic plan for your small business this year?
Delegation is the magic sauce for any organization. It enables new leaders to emerge, promotes sustainability and scalability, builds capacity, and encourages cross-training. To make sure your teams are empowered and set up for success, there are several methods you can use.
The word innovation itself can be intimidating to many. The word represents change, and change is something many of us do not like. This resistance to change can be for many reasons.
As human beings, we appreciate predictability and the ability to proceed without added stress, difficulty and conflict. We will do almost anything to avoid conflict, necessary or not.
As you think about your capacity to handle change, the thought of change is stressful for many. I recently read a study informing nearly 70% of us humans fear or resist forms of change.
Thinking about a change, I break it into two simple groups. Voluntary change, think creativity and innovation. In-voluntary change, think opportunity or reactionary panic.
As you think and evaluate your capacity for change, there must be a framework to make an objective inquiry. To me, systems drive and build our capacity in all aspects.
Throughout my journey, I've come to understand the concept of "coulda, shoulda, and woulda," and I'm certain you have too. Have you ever caught yourself uttering these words?
"If only I could do this, I really should be doing that, I would do it if only…blah, blah, blah!"
It can be overwhelming if you allow it to consume you. What's more, it can be intensified if you label yourself as lacking creativity on one end of the spectrum, or overly creative on the other end, struggling to bring it all together. The truth is, we all have our challenges to face.
But remember, you are not alone in this.
We hear the word engagement used in the business context all too often of late. A buzz word no doubt, but this word is the real deal. Engagement is what makes everything else fall into place, or it doesn't. It's the point where the rubber meets the road, determining whether you'll gain traction and achieve results or end up wasting time and effort. A common question I often hear is...
The older I get, the wiser I get, or at least I am supposed to get smarter! I find that I am learning more about my behavior and how I get in my own way. Developing my best self, I have more blind spots than I thought I had.
I have learned this is common. I struggle with many of these behaviors because they are natural to me.
Hence, I am blind to what I can not see, which holds me from my true potential. Does this sound familiar?
If it does, welcome to being human!
