Importance of Business Planning in 2010
How Are You Planning for Success?
The power of clarity
Knowing precisely where an owner wants their business to be in 90-days time can be a powerful motivating force.
Do you have a plan for the 3rd Quarter of 2010?
Planning makes it possible to know which direction to orient efforts so the owner and the business arrive at the intended destination at the end of each quarter and the year.
3 reasons businesses will benefit from better planning in 2010.
- Ongoing Planning can help companies navigate through dangers and look toward long-term goals.
- Planning is about managing change – For example, when sales are different than projected in the plan–and many times they are–you have tools for making adjustments to expenses. Good business planning can help companies manage flucuations in the business better.
- Everyone is accountable – when we plan as a team we are all invested in the goals set for the quarter. We know what the numbers are for the quarter that we need to hit and what strategies we plan to utilize to get us there.
Developing your roadmap
By putting focus on the causes of business growth, and putting a plan of action together during a GrowthCLUB planning session, owners – maybe for the first time – can see where to leverage their efforts to produce real results.
“The GrowthCLUB workshop was well planned. The workshop was an amazing value because this information has clarified and further organized everything that we have been working on with the ActionCOACH Next Level Firm. Thank you for the seminar – it was awesome! We really got a lot out of it and are VERY motivated.” – Michele Sibley, New Beginnings Landscaping, LLC www.newbeginningsridgefield.com
The outcome
Jim Malski presenting at the last GrowthCLUB Planning Session
At the end of every GrowthCLUB planning workshop, owners benefit from renewed energy, vision and focus for the next 90-days. They also have a ready-to-implement, real-time 90-day plan of exactly what to do and how to get your business moving in the right direction.
ActionCOACH GrowthCLUB can make a huge difference in just one day for any kind of company. Not only do owners walk out with a better overall understanding of business, they also leave with a 90-day plan specifically designed to immediately impact their own firms.
“The GrowthCLUB workshop was great! It got me focused on the things that I was not focused on. The topics I found most helpful were the current situation analysis, gap analysis and my goal review.” – Jack Lyons, Lyons Solutions, LLC http://www.lyonssolutions.com/

Gulf Oil Spill Affecting Business Growth
Gulf Oil Spill Economic Ripple Effect on Business Owners

The Gulf oil spill that is contaminating the water off the coast of Louisiana is not only a bad thing for the environment, but is also effecting business.
Some tourists may be discouraged from planning trips to those areas effected by the oil spill. The spill is also affecting the region’s fishing industry. Many economists say that the concern over oil damage potentially could even put a damper on coastal real estate markets. This could only be the beginning.
The question is how much will it cost to not only clean up the spill, but also how will it affect the region’s economic recovery.

The oil could cause billions of dollars in damage to property, wildlife and take several years to fully clean up.
What we do know is that Louisiana produces only about 1% of the seafood Americans eat. So although this will largely effect local seafood suppliers it should not affect shortages in your grocer’s freezer.
This spill is unfortunately bigger than the Exxon Valdez disaster, making it the largest oil spill in U.S. history, government scientists have said.
I think we can all agree that the oil spill is an unfortunate situation. The damage it has created to our wildlife alone is horrific. The truth is that unfortunate as it may be - unforeseen things like an oil spill, tornado and floods happen. A tough economy happens. As a business owner you have to be prepare to roll with the punches. Just as you do in life, you have to pick yourself back up and find what positives can be learned from the situation.
Business Owners: How can you better your business even when special situations occur?
To make a difference in your business you have to change the way you do things. It begins by attending one of our profit building seminars.
