EP54 - Fundamentals of Annual Business Planning

Last episode, we discussed the importance of strategic thinking. Today, we’re going a level higher, which is actually making things happen. We’re talking about the operations phase, where we turn our ideas into a plan to turn them into reality.

Keeping your company on track for success is almost impossible without proper planning. Without a plan, it is hard to gauge where your company is at and what your next move should be. The main problem with most enterprises is that they do not have a proper plan laid out. The problem is that plans are not specific enough and that the execution is not sound enough. In this episode, I’ll be walking you through what typically happens in an annual or quarterly planning session, how you can carry over your strategic thinking into an Operations Planning Document, and the important things you need to be mindful of when planning.
