The 12 page business plan
Okay some of you are saying “another one!”, we have a one pager, a fully blown (dunno how many) pager and now I have seen everything a 12 pager!
That’s okay I figure whatever works for you is a great plan to have. Too many clients have plans that don’t work, or no plan which I think is even worse.
So here goes a 12 page plan, are you ready for this one? (probably not…)
1. Get 12 peices of paper - (any size is okay) the bigger the better in most cases.
2. Write a month on the top of each - Jan to Dec.
3. Split each into four -Â One each for Marketing - Management - Systems - Quality
4. Now fill in the gaps - For each of these area write in a few things that either need doing or you want to have them done at some stage.
Break it down into easy bullet points in each section and then take action each month to compete the tasks you set, spread themout in your diary and at the end of the month tick off those that have been started, those compelted and those not done transfer them tot he next month. Celebrate the competed ones, keep going on the rest.
NOTE: I have specified the four areas above, as I believe they will make the biggest difference to your business in moving it forward. It will generally cover all of your business activities anyway.
Have a go and see if you can devise a range of business goals from the above to make a solid difference in your business.
Stumble it!
