Strategic Planning – Who should bother?

by Rick Baker
On May 18, 2011
For some business people, strategic planning is not helpful.
 
Business people: who among them should spend time strategic planning?
 
Who will obtain the most benefit from the process of strategic planning?
 
Here’s a checklist to help you determine if strategic planning is for you.
 
Place a check in all the boxes that fit your character or situation…the more you check the more benefit you will obtain from the process of strategic planning.
 
 
   I want my business to stand out…as different
 
   I would like to pack more action & results into each day
 
   I want to be certain I understand my Clients’ needs
 
   I encourage ideas from people who follow me and from my allies
 
   I am a life-long learner
 
   I want people who follow me to communicate as fully as possible
 
   I volunteer time to lead community, not-for-profit or other charitable organizations
 
   I want my followers to draw clear lines between planning-thought & tactical-action
 
   I enjoy hands-on education
  
   I embrace change
 
 
A business leader who has or wants followers
  • Is a life-long learner
  • Prefers hands-on education over lectures
  • Volunteers time to lead community or charitable causes

Sales Tweet #218 Entrepreneurs have a need to be recognized as different – a different type of contributor.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
While grade school teachers may not appreciate how this need to be different manifests itself in children…with some guidance and some help the need to be different can mature and generate tremendous value in the years to follow.
