Before you can score you must have a goal. If you haven’t set your goals for the next six months now is a good time to write them down.

Before You Can Score You Must Have A Goal

All Day by Max Murphy“Before you can score
you must have a goal”
Greek proverb

If you haven’t set out your goals for the next six months second half of 2013 this would be a good week to huddle with your team and advisors and come up with at least the top three to five.

Here is a quick planning exercise we use with clients, and some prospective clients, that several found useful. Since it’s 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 has gone well in the last twelve months? (If you haven’t celebrated, do so now)
  2. How will you build on for success in the next six to twelve months?
  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?
  5. What is your target for growth next year? Are you ready for growth?
  6. What are the major risks you face in the next six to twelve months; how will you mitigate them?
