Have you every wondered what makes some start ups succeed when others fail?
In this exclusive audio series for Start Up Spark, I’ll be sharing the winning strategies that will help any small business owner build a solid foundation to achieve success by building a successful foundation.
Today’s lecture:
When you fail to plan, you plan to fail.
It’s been on the mind of fellow b5 media blogger Liz Strauss at Successful Blog. Seeing the future keeps your eyes on the real prize: business success. So in this podcast, second in the series, learn how to use strategic planning to build a profitable business.
And while listening to this audio program, ask yourself this question: When I have made a plan and then never completed it because I got too focused on other things? When can I make time this week to focus on creating a quarterly plan for January ‘08? (It’s just around the corner, you know!)
I think before we have a plan, we must know our mission for our business and make the plan around the mission.
