No You Didn’t! Throw Success Away?
Written by Mitch Tublin
The end of June marked the completion of the first six months of the year. If there is one specific item you, you and your team, and you and your coach must spend some time on, it is to review the first six months of the year. This is simply looking over your start of the year vision, mission, strategy, goals and plans. Then comparing what the reality is right now after six months have gone by.
For each of the items which were set up in the start of the year to set you and your business up for success, what is the story? Write a few lines describing why you are where you are.
- Vision
- Mission
- Strategy
- Goals
- Plans
Begin with vision and see if this vision statement is still in line with your current situation. And does this need to be revised or revisited? Or is it correctly stated?
Continue on through the list to the mission statement written in the start of the year for your business success. Is this mission statement still in alignment with your current view of your business? Does this mission statement need to be revised or revisited? Or is it correctly stated?
This process should be continued through each category. A key point is to undertake this effort with another person who will not allow the process to become a ‘festival of excuses’. The purpose is to learn what is working, or what is not working, and then to course correct as necessary.
It is not to say one should only undertake this process in June at the halfway point of the year. You should conduct a review such as this, as often as you wish. The point is there are specific times when you are able to calendar in right at the start of the year a review of where you are, and this is definitely one of those times. Appointments may be scheduled in advance, and materials assembled as you know this is going to take place.
Fact – Period – End of story. Make it happen.
If for some reason you did not conduct this activity and never even considered the importance of this action to your ultimate business success, do it now. Schedule the time, assemble your materials and get it done before August or September.
The point is to take action and complete the process.
If you are ready to have an experienced coach work with you, or with you and your team, on this review process, contact Mitch Tublin and schedule your appointment today. Email info@mitchtublin.com or call 877-907-8223.
