Setting Sight
Are you busy, busy, busy? Lots of action...but where are you going? The Setting Sight section of The Bare Bones Biz Plan is all about answering this question: What do you want? Answer the question...and change the course of your life. Notice the "steps" above...Setting Sight, Building the Team, Making Money, Getting it Sold, Getting it Done and Making Sure. These six "steps" represent the essential components of your business. Creating a successful business is like spinning six plates on six long sticks. It's awkward getting the plates up on to the sticks. You have to use a bit of energy and develop some balance to get the plates spinning. You might get one plate going, and realize another is about to drop. With persistence, you can get them all up and spinning. Then, running your business is a matter of noticing the condition of the plates...and giving a little push where it's needed. Setting Sight In the book, The Bare Bones Biz Plan, I suggest taking six weeks to build your business plan...and assemble your Plan Binder. Focus on each component of your business for one week...and at the end of six weeks you will have a rock solid, yet flexible and dynamic, business plan. Your Plan Binder will guide you and drive you to implementing the plan...and creating your dream business. Setting Sight is the first and most important component of building your business and your business plan. Setting Sight is all about "seeing" your company as a finished product. What does it look like, sound like, feel like? The clearer your Vision, the easier it is to build a Plan to make it happen. The more compelling your Vision, the more motivated you'll be to implement the Plan. You may want to work through the Setting Sight exercises by yourself. Or, you may want to involve one or two others who are involved, or who you intend to involve, in the business. Ultimately, one person…YOU…will sign off on the direction of the company. While a great business is the result of a team effort, it is born of one person's intention. The direction of the company is YOUR responsibility. The first assignment is just for you. Let's start with what you want.... |
