Yesterday I shared with you a link to the live recording of our master class: 3 Secrets to Building a Business Plan that Works! I also promised to share two more resources with you today (this LAST day of 2019!!) to help you finish (or even start!) your Business Plan for a great 2020. Here they are:
Resource #1 – You learned yesterday that completing a Business Analysis of your current business is the first “secret” to building a great Business Plan. After all, how can you make a plan for where you want to go if you don’t know exactly where you are?!?! The second and third “secrets” are all about Barriers and Strategies.
Let me explain.
Most of us start out our Business Plan envisioning our goals, right? We might create a list or even a vision board. This is the fun part! Dreaming of the vacation we want to take or the college tuition we’ll be saving for, etc.
In the master class, we discussed how most people use (because they were taught) a basic 3-step process to business planning: Dream Big, Set Goals, Take Action. What this process leaves out is the Business Analysis and the process of anticipating likely Barriers to us reaching our goals and developing the Strategies to overcome those Barriers. It’s this extra step that will make your Business Plan WORK!
Click here to download the Barriers and Strategies Worksheet and use it to evaluate each of your big goals for the year ahead and consider what Barriers may arise to cause you problems. By anticipating these potential Barriers now, lack of time, budget, skill, etc. you can develop and implement the Strategy before the problem even arises!
Resource #2 – Click here to learn about our online course: A Strategic Year. This completely online video course, written and instructed by Jo Mangum, walks you through the proven strategy to build a Business Plan that WORKS! The 3 Secrets and all of the resources shared come from this ground-breaking program and it’s available for $200 off the retail price until midnight, 1/1/20. Usually $287, you can get lifetime access to the program for just $87. Click here to learn more and why one agent said this about the program:
“I took the Strategic Year class and experienced a 54% growth in my business. Although these results were a product of understanding my business better, magnifying the areas where I’m best and consistent implementation – the real reason for the change came from my brain. I simply look at it differently now. Gone is the whirlwind day, the exhaustion, and the spinning of my wheels.” -R. Walker
