12 Steps to Implementing Anything in Your Business: Step Five: Hold a Kickoff Event To Create Momentum
Once you have your strategy and you have tested it, you need to launch it. In most cases, because of the size and scope of the issues that a small or medium sized company faces, a small meeting will normally suffice.
This kickoff event is the bridging point between strategy formulation and taking action.
All key players are gathered in one place to:
· Review and sharpen the strategy and ensure a common understanding of the issues.
· Set key milestone dates.
· Define the measures of success and failure.
· Create specific assignments and work plans.
· Get people to commit to their individual tasks.
· Define the follow up process.
· Allocate resources.
· Set dates for progress reviews.
Many clients I have implemented this process for have questioned the need for a kick off event, asking "Why do I need to do this". Well, it takes a special effort to get peoples attention and to prepare to do something new. A well run kickoff event signals a change ...real change... and that is an essential ingredient of effective execution.
The kick off event will generate energy and commitment from all your staff to coordinated action to achieve success. In the meeting you want intense dialogue and maybe even some arguments among the key staff members, this is good thing as it flushes out assumptions, clarifies understanding of what's to be done and builds mutual understanding of each others roles in the process.
When you are running the kickoff meeting, remember these three important issues and know how to handle them:
· Would you be able to keep the meeting on message, on track and on schedule?
· How would you cope when people reach a dead end or get into conflict?
· Would you be sure to hear from everyone?
Whatever you do to launch your project, think in through in advance.

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

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
