Here is a concept that I developed recently to help keep my business plan going strong.
The concept starts with a principle that I have had in my mind for a long time
It is easier to take several little steps than to try and take a big leap.
Out of little steps, making progress a little bit at a time, we can make consistent, steady progress towards a larger goal. Just like a tree grows small rings every year, eventually, those rings make up a larger trunk, strong and firmly rooted in its purpose of holding soil in place, providing habitat for organisms, and creating new oxygen. Nature understands the principle and applies it with great success.
We should take cues from mother nature more often. Out of this principle, I developed a short list of progressive tasks which keep my business plan on track and productive. I call it the “Two Week Plan of Attack”.
On my “Two Week Plan of Attack” are three tasks that I feel are reachable within two weeks. They all contribute to my business plan.
If you have ever created a business plan, you know what a daunting task it can be. If you are like me, much research is needed to back up the Big Idea so I can secure the funding needed to make it grow into a successful venture.
So, I have three tasks set forth to accomplish over the next two weeks, and by doing this, I have set realistic goals for myself and avoided the intimidation factor that we all feel when working on large projects.
Hope this helps someone,
Fred
