“End of Year Thoughts From Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach”
By: J. Glenn Ebersole, Jr., Chief Executive of J. G. Ebersole Associates and The Renaissance Group ™
As we enter the month of December each year, we often wonder where the year has gone, how quickly it has passed and what we did or did not accomplish. He end of each year finds us thinking about holidays, gifts, parties and friends, as well as the closing out of another business year. The end of the year is a time to look back on the previous year and look forward to the next.
And while reflecting on the past year, a strategic thinking business coach would like to suggest that you take time to remember and to give thanks for the great things that happened in your business. And to build on all of the positive things that you accomplished this past year and carry that positive momentum into next year.
Your strategic thinking business coach would also like to advise you take time to think about what you would like to do different in the next year. Now is a very good time to look at the lessons learned from any mistakes that you might have made and apply those lessons learned to correct past mistakes.
The end of the year is also the time to review and update the elements of your strategic plan and business plan; set your goals for the new year and develop and commit to an action plan to achieve the goals. If you use a strategic thinking approach to your planning, you will not wait to plan your integrated marketing communications activities, since it usually takes at least thirty days to develop a plan. If you wait to get started, it may be February or March before the plan is in action and you will have lost a couple months of opportunities.
And finally, your strategic thinking coach strongly recommends that you set aside some time for yourself to help rejuvenate, re-energize and re-focus for the new year in business. Start the new year with an arsenal filled with energy, strategic thinking and planning and a clear vision of what and where you want your business to be.
