 Don't
Forget HOW
A client sent me a copy of his Goals for 2006 after a planning
meeting in his company. I looked at the document for the
first time and asked him, “Where is your strategy?”
He laughed and said the internal coach in his company had
looked over his plan and asked the very same question. Two
coaches are a charm. :)
A great plan has strategies in place so that there is a
clear pathway to implementation and action steps. Strategy
provides the comfort and hope of knowing how your objectives
and goals will be reached. The comfort means that each day
you can get up with the assurance that by following your
strategy you can be effectively moving toward the outcome
you want.
That doesn’t mean strategies can’t change.
One of my clients decided joining a prominent community
organization would be a great strategy for growing her business
to the level she wanted. She immersed herself in that organization
and was soon given a highly visible leadership role. Despite
her involvement, she was not finding the opportunity to
build her business or help others build theirs. She changed
her strategy by forming a mastermind networking group with
other successful business owners that has allowed her to
grow her business and in addition have a group where she
can share and get feed back on her entrepreneurial ideas.
Her new networking strategy is paying off for her business
and for herself.
