Think Ahead - Create Your Future
Posted April 7, 2007 Comments(0) “An obstacle in your mind is worse than an obstacle on your path. If you think you can’t, you can’t.”
Planning is the process by which we continuously create our own future. It is not a mental exercise, a method of forecasting, or even a systematic recording of past data from which you can attempt to predict future events. It is the approach used to turn expectations into realities. Few things receive as much lip service - and as little action - as planning. We put it off because it requires digging for information, or because associates can’t agree. Often, the thought of formulating a new plan causes panic among those who “don’t want to rock the boat.” But most of all we hesitate because trying to anticipate the future requires us to THINK!
Begin at the Beginning
Posted April 7, 2007 Comments(0) “The right answers require the right questions.”
The first and most important step in planning is to carefully analyze your present position by asking, “Where are we now?” This will help you to determine :
• Problems that must be resolved before any other action can be taken.
• Opportunities that haven’t been noticed (or present) in the past.
• Competitive factors that could prevent you from reaching your objectives.
• New prospects that can contribute to growth.
• Previous mistakes or oversights that have proved costly.
Develop Reliable Sources of Information
Posted April 7, 2007 Comments(0) “Let your hook be always cast; in the pool where you least expect it, there may be a fish.”
There are a number of ways in which you can obtain the valuable information you need to keep your business on course. For example, you can :
• Conduct surveys, either in person or by mail, primarily among your most important customer groups. From them, you can learn new or better ways to get business.
Analyze Objectively
Posted April 7, 2007 Comments(0) Leaders in whom we have the most confidence are objective (vs. subjective). They aren’t afraid of facts and don’t try to hide them. Leaders typically have four characteristics in common.
1. They spend time with people who don’t focus on the past. They discipline themselves to look forward, not back. They gather facts about “what is” vs. “what was.”
Choose Advisors Carefully
Posted April 7, 2007 Comments(0) The challenge is to find ways to obtain reliable information before a decision must be made. The objective is not so much finding people who will tell you what you must do as it is to find people who can intelligently help evaluate options. Above all, avoid “Get Rich Quick Schemes.”
Here’s a good example:
Joe Gibbs reached the pinnacle of success as a coach when his Washington Redskins won the 1983 Super Bowl. But his elation was short lived. Not long after, he made a series of bad investments resulting in huge debts he could not repay. Finally, with help from friends and encouragement from his wife and sons, debts were paid. The family now operates a very successful and profitable car racing business.
Tap Into Experience
Posted April 7, 2007 Comments(0) The most successful people get the help they need before they need it. They find knowledgeable people, and tap their experience and insight. It’s important though, to avoidgetting too many people involved.
“Groupthink” has some potential hazards. Beware of these :
• Occasionally, everyone will get along so well there will be no disagreement. No one will speak the truth for fear of disrupting the harmony within the group or offending another person.
Become Your Own Critic
Posted April 7, 2007 Comments(0) Not all advice is good advice. Not all criticism is good criticism. But it is also true that buried somewhere in the criticism and advice you seek there is a hint… a trace … a suggestion … that there is something you might be able to do better than you are doing it now. The key is to become your own critic. Here’s how.
The next time you face a problem you want to blame on someone else, ask a close friend about it. Tell them first you do not want them to endorse your conclusions but to give you the truth as they see it. Then brace yourself and prepare for the discomfort which may follow. Or better still, become your own critic. Ask yourself:
