“Dysfunctional Planning of Goals Facilitates Failure, According To Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach”
By: J. Glenn Ebersole, Jr., Chief Executive of J. G. Ebersole Associates and The Renaissance Group ™
That age old adage,” If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail” may be more true in today’s business world, than at any other time. I have been truly amazed at how many clients I have that will tell me that they never had any kind of business plan, marketing plan, financial plan, strategic plan or any kind of plan, until they met me and starting working with me in a business coaching relationship. And they all shared various forms of challenges, frustrations, issues, etc. with their business. Well, honestly, in the absence of planning or in the presence of dysfunctional planning, the diagnosis is simple as to the reasons for the struggles.
So, let me share why I say that dysfunctional planning of goals will facilitate failure. And to make it easier for the reader, I decided to do this by setting out ten (10) things you can do to facilitate failure. Here are (10) actions to facilitate failure in your business.
+ Decide to do no planning whatsoever!
+ Develop a list of why it is impossible for you to plan and reach any goals.
+ Decide to put off any planning until you have time to plan.
+ Develop goals that are so vague, they are meaningless.
+ Constantly change your goals so they cannot be easily visualized.
+ Always speak negatively about your goals and tell everyone that you cannot achieve them.
+ Totally ignore any deadlines to reach your goals.
+ Set goals that you know are absolutely impossible for you to reach.
+ Avoid any accountability for any goals you set.
+ Talk about your goals, but never take any actions toward achieving your goals.
