12 Steps to Implementing Anything in Your Business : Step Three: Organise your Staff and Create a Strategy
| Guest post by: David Flannery |
Article Overview: Step two dealt with the creation of a good clear assignment. Now, I want to speak about how to respond to a clear assignment, once you have created one. You do this by organising your staff and creating a strategy. What I mean by organising your staff is the creation of a core team. This team will be responsible for the implementation process in your business. If you have a small staff number in your particular business then you can do one of two things, make your entire staff the core team or select one person who will "champion" the process.

12 Steps to Implementing Anything in Your Business : Step Three: Organise your Staff and Create a Strategy
Step two dealt with the creation of a good clear assignment. Now, I want to speak about how to respond to a clear assignment, once you have created one. You do this by organising your staff and creating a strategy.
What I mean by organising your staff is the creation of a core team. This team will be responsible for the implementation process in your business. If you have a small staff number in your particular business then you can do one of two things, make your entire staff the core team or select one person who will "champion" the process.
You need to be as selective as possible, when picking members for your core team or champion. The core team is a small group of people that will have to work together towards a common goal, and the champion will have to possess a lot of diverse qualities to see the process through.
The strategy is the basic plan that you will follow to achieve your goal. It will be the basis for detailed planning and action. The strategy need not be a firm plan at this stage. At this stage it is good enough just to provide a flexible framework for further work.
At this stage your strategy will spell out the following factors:
· The goal to be achieved, and when you know you have achieved it.
· The target date for goal achievement.
· The avenues to be looked at in order to achieve the goal.
· Risks involved, and the actions needed to avoid them.
· A flexible timetable for action.
At this stage flexibility is important until all avenues have been tested and the optimal path has been identified.
Remember this, there is no one right strategy, there is only the best one available to you at the time of implementation.
Once you have a strategy in hand and decided on by the core team or champion, have it condensed down to a one page summary. This will tell you if the strategy has been thought out.
The one page summary should be clearly written in language targeted towards the average reader.
This one page summary should address the following issues:
· The issue being addressed.
· Outlining the goal.
· How it is measured.
· The major actions to be taken.
· The timetable for implementation.
The one page summary will form the basis for the next step, which I will cover in the next article

Re: Your choice between...
- I will take the $100,000 and double it on it becomes millions before I spend it. Though I am crazy about information, yet I would rather take the money and turn it into a million before I spend a dime out of it. I will do it in 4 steps.
Step 1 turn $100,000 to $200,000
Step 2 turn $200,000 to $400,000
Step 3 turn $400,000 to $800,000
Step 4 turn $800,000 to $1600,000.
After getting the goal of step 4, I will spend the $600,000 on myself then continue to double the millions again. I could then by the book for $1,000,000

Maybe you've noticed - a subtle trend is gathering steam. Quietly and steadily, the number of women making six figures or more is increasing, and it continues to rise at a rate faster than for men. From entrepreneurs to corporate executives, from white collar executives to free lancers and part timers, women are forging careers with considerable financial success.
Through extensive research and hundreds of interviews, including dialogs with more than 150 high earners whose annual incomes range from $100,000 to 7 million, Stanny discovered that ...they all had certain traits in common:
1) a profit motive
2) Audacity
3) REslience
4) Encouragement
5) Self-awareness
6) Non-attachment
7) Financial knowhow
She amplifies on these in the book itself.

Intro: Welcome to the era of the six-figure woman
1. The Queen in the Countinghouse
2. The Lowdown on low earners
3. Raising the bar

Step by step approach
- Here's what I would do;
Step 1 - Observe Wal-Mart’s target customers, what does Wal-Mart offer them? How long do they stay? Discover what it is that they might want or need that Wal-Mart doesn't offer, and then write those ideas down. Some ideas to get you started are - A cafe or fast food venue, something for the kids to do while the parents shop, etc
Step 2 - Take that list, and weigh up the pros and cons of each idea, and then select the best one for you. Don't worry about not using all the space.
Step 3 - Start the best business for you, and then release the other ideas to the general market and sublet the rest of the space to those who could fill some of the niches you've come up with, plus any they can come up with. If money isn't a factor then developing the building to suit multiple small leases may be a better option, as it's a diversified income, which is potentially more stable than one big income stream.
Need a book recommendation for writing better
- I'm always looking for ways to improve my writing skills, so I was just wondering if anyone could recommend a good copywriting or copyediting book?
I was actually thinking of reading "The Copywriter's Handbook : A Step-by-Step Guide to Writing Copy That Sells" by Robert W Bly [u:w3cg00nn]OR[/u:w3cg00nn] "The Copyeditor's Handbook: A Guide for Book Publishing and Corporate Communications" by Amy Einsohn. Would anyone know if these books are any good?
Thanks
