Tim puts a new twist on traditional business planning. "It’s not a big formal document. It’s streamlined, in bullet points, lists, tables, just what you need to run your business".
- Accountability. The future is now. Virtual world. Performance and productivity by metrics, whether it’s hours, codes, calls, or presentations. Set expectations with specific goals, then track numbers. Management by transparency. The lean planning process keeps the metrics on top.
- Managing change. Forget that big daunting document; keep a lean plan to help you track changing assumptions, so you can review and revise regularly.
- Strategic alignment. A simple process to keep you focusing on the details without losing track of the horizon. Make sure you have tactics to execute strategy; and specific, concrete milestones, metrics, dates, and deadlines to make the tactics real. Plus what you need to plan the money.
Tim's webinar was power packed. His tips and training is very important to document for your own personal use. As Tim covers in the webinar, record all your data. You want to be able to go back and refer to your information. Tracking your information and data will give you so many benefits. This will help you with building your strategy, what is working for your business and what is not. The informal data can help you change your plan, when to execute, and target your audience.
Better decisions is the goal from better management. Tim's goals is to help those who say "they can't do this"! Yes you can!
Tim can help you step by step to manage and build your business by documenting your data and build the information into your plan. You do not have to have a college degree, you just need to understand your business.
Learn to set your sales projections, conversions, expenses. He can help you with the when and how.
It's all about the tracking.
I love what Tim says "A business plan is never finished, it is always changing"!
For those of you who are just starting out or you have always wanted to start your own small business, all your dreams and goals are attainable!
Join groups, find mentors, ask questions. There are wonderful, successful people such as Tim and John that can help you learn how to set you plans in motion the right way to be successful in your own right.
Change your life by using actionable steps!
