Thinking About Your Business Goals for 2007

1 comment January 15th, 2007

We went through a brief planning exercise with our clients, and some prospective clients, that several found useful. Since it’s not not too late to do some planning for 2007, here are a few questions that should answer on a single piece of paper (perhaps even a 3×5 card you can carry with you)

1. What went well last year? (If you haven’t celebrated do so now)
2. How will you build on your 2006 success?
3. What key value or attribute of your business do you want to enhance?
4. What are one or more activities or initiatives you plan to stop doing in 2007?
5. What is your target for growth next year? Are you ready for growth?
6. What are the major risks you face in 2007; how will you mitigate them?
