Business Strategy Consultant, Mitch Tublin, wishes you and yours a
Happy New Year!
You have all of your planning and goal setting completed and ready to go by now for the New Year, right? Ask any person who is successful or read about them. Every single one of them had a plan to follow. They had goals to meet, strive for and achieve. What about you?
Mitch, this is so boring, it is not exciting! Sorry about that! It is absolutely critical to do, so how do we make this process more interesting?
Here is one example for you to have some fun with your planning and goal setting.
Go to www.staples.com and buy a big white pad of blank sheets like the type you use for a presentation, buy some markers or crayons and buy some sticky notes of different colors like those made by www.shop3m.com now take all of this great fun stuff and lock yourself in a room for one hour.
This is okay to do if you are a work at home business owner or a CEO of your own software company. We are all people! What, you tell me, you were never 6 years old once! Chill out and work with me here. Bring in a glass of wine if you want to.
Now this is an example, so feel free to use a method that works for you.
Use a black marker and label the top page of one sheet BUSINESS STRATEGY BIG PICTURE. Now Label another sheet short term goals. Now label a sheet family, community, friends and giving.
Select a new color and begin on the last page. List everything you want to do with your family, in your community and for charity this year.
You see this is why you do what you do isn’t it?
Now select another color and list in order the main items near term you need to achieve in your business. For example: build a list or make money.
List five items in their order of priority.
It is time for a new color. Business Strategy Big Picture is our next item. Take a deep breath and dive in. What drives you to do what you do? What are your ideas? Just let it go! Write down your big dreams.
Fill up the page.
So you tell me. Was this so painful? You now have the initial foundation for creating your plans and goal setting activities for 2011.

Thanks Sue! Appreciate your comments, enjoy your trip!
Mitch,
Planning is paramount to success. I love the big sticky pad exercise and have many other FUN tools I use. This reminds me that I also need to finish my book.
Write on!~
