With the New Year here it is time to think about the goals you have set. Then the implementation of those goals is the strategic planning process. Strategy is the engine to achieve your goals. It is the distance between where you are now and where you want to go. The strategic planning is how you get to your destination.
Let’s start with a strategic planning board. It’s much like your road map to get you to where you want to go. Imagine planning a trip to your favorite Aunts home. What could that possibly look like? You have the scenic route, the fastest route and the route that takes you past all your other favorite relatives homes. The point being is there are many different ways to get to Aunt Susie’s house. So now what?
You must decide what the objective is for your visit. Your strategy is to support the building of your business or whatever else you may be trying to accomplish. You must first have a crystal clear objective. Then you can brain storm all of your strategic options on your planning board, that being a piece of paper or a dry erase board. Write all of your ideas down. Consider what your resources are regarding time, money or simply what you have available to you. Enlist the help of someone who can give you an outside perspective. This person ideally would be one who has had success in the thing that you may be trying to achieve. Ultimately achieving your goals begins with a strategic plan to carry it out (your road map). Lastly, your decision to be successful will be the catalyst to completing your journey.
