​​If you’re new to my community, a warm welcome to you! I’m so happy you’ve decided to join us!

Happy Thursday!

It’s cooled off a bit here in Central Ontario, and I’m perfect okay with that. Not that I have much to say about it anyways, but it’s nice when Mother Nature cooperates with temperatures my body can deal with. I am so much more productive when it’s cooler than I am when it’s hot and humid!

Today’s Read: Creating an Action Plan for Your Business

It’s been said that the only action that matters is action.  Action constitutes the work, the steps, the “action” necessary to reach your goals and aspirations. But some entrepreneurs are decidedly better at seeing the big picture instead of breaking it down into doable actions.  

So today I have for you a few tips on how to create an action plan that even the big-picture thinkers can work with.

Start with the big picture

What is your company mission or goal in life? Highlight 3 to 5 main objectives and you need them to be successful.

Break It Down

Then take each main goal and break it down into two to five smaller actionable steps. This means you should have a different to-do list for each main objective you created earlier. If you started with three main objectives, you now have three new to-do lists.

Put Them In Proper Order

Start with the most relevant or urgent tasks. Keep in mind your daily schedule or any critical meetings.

Create Hard Deadlines

For each goal, set a hard deadline and don’t give yourself any more time. Add the steps and tasks you need to do to complete that goal in your calendar and let yourself and other important people know about it.

Understand Your Limits and Be Focused

While the saying “the sky is your limit” may sound motivational, it can be unrealistic when running a successful business. You need to be laser-focused on your overall goal, and if you believe you can get everything, you may lose focus on what truly matters for your specific business and goals.

Finally, don’t be afraid to take the first step. Stop planning and just get going. Make that first step so easy that you can’t avoid it. As you get going, the momentum will give you the confidence and desire to keep going.

And now, here are the goodies I have for you today…
