Happy New Year! If you are like me, you've got big hopes for 2010. But with many things that will demand your time - your business, family, community, your own health - how do you make sure you achieve the things you want this year?
The best way is to develop an annual plan to set goals, priorities and action items. Remember, you can't reach a goal you haven't set!
Developing a plan is a way to step back from the daily grind, set goals and think through the best strategies for reaching those goals. As important, it helps you establish priorities and decide what NOT to do this year. That enables you to better use your limited resources of time and money. Here's how to do it.
Keep it real. The key to a successful annual plan is to look at where you've been, where you want to go and the best way to get there.
Look at the past. Before going in new directions, evaluate what's worked and what hasn't in your life or your business.
List your goals. Begin by listing ALL of your goals. Don't worry if you have lots of them.
Get Specific. Put details with each goal, especially numbers. Let's say one of your goals is to increase the number of deals you close. List a specific number of closed deals you want each month and for the entire year as well as how much you want to make on each deal.
Develop steps. Identify the steps necessary to achieve each goal. For instance to attract more note sellers, you'll need to increase your marketing efforts.
Estimate money and time. Put a dollar figure next to each step. And estimate how much time it might take.
Estimate people. Figure out who will be responsible for each step, especially in your business or in family goals.
Prioritize. By now, you've got a list that would take much more money, time and resources than you have. So, prioritize your goals and steps. Don't try to do everything; eliminate some goals altogether rather than attempting all partway.
Write an action plan. Schedule the month, week or day you are going to take action on each step and what that action will be.
Get consensus. Discuss the plan with all affected parties. Are they willing to commit to it?
Once you have developed your annual plan, you are on your way to achieving your goals and being a success in 2010! Here's to the best year ever! Don't stop marketing, it's going to work! TWITA!
