Make Your Dreams Come True!

We have chatted about the importance of having a vision and about spending time on the key aspects of your business.  We have also talked about the value of looking at your business from the perspective of your client.  Lots of good strategic thinking, so where does the rubber meet the road?  How do you translate good ideas into good action?

The critical step in turning your vision into a reality is setting and communicating SMART goals related to the Key Success Factors identified in your business plan. 

  • Specific
  • Measurable
  • Attainable
  • Realistic
  • Time bound

Our experience has shown repeatedly that a strategic plan only gains traction when there is a commitment across the team to achieve very specific results related to each of these elements.  The best businesses take this right down to specific goals for each person in the organization.  When this is done everyone understands what they contribute to the success of the company and they have a great measuring stick to prioritize there daily activities.
