Strategic planning is the backbone of a successful business, big or small. Much like planning your route and destination for a road trip, choosing where you want your business to go and creating a plan to get there is fundamental to your success. Without a strategic plan you will constantly find yourself forced into “reactive” mode, fighting fires instead of moving along the path to achieving your ambitions.

The DIY Strategic Planning Workshop is designed for small business owners, start-up entrepreneurs and businesses with 1-5 working partners/employees, as well as executive directors of small non-profit organizations. During the workshop, I’ll introduce participants to strategic planning, and show them how they can start implementing strategy in their own businesses immediately.

Your company can achieve success without a strategic plan, but working strategy into your business can multiply your success while preparing you for harder times. Strategic planning can help you tremendously in your business, especially if:

• Your company won’t reach its revenue or profit goals this year, or didn’t reach them in the past year.
• You are constantly distracted by great opportunities and ideas to grow your business, but they never turn out the way you expected.
• It’s time to think about succession planning and you’re not clear what the future will look like for your business.

This workshop is the answer for anyone interested in learning the “Do It Yourself” way of building a strong strategic plan.

“What can I say…I can’t THANK you enough for all your great info at the Seminar on September 1st. The following weekend I got out two white boards and went through the whole process, it was great! I discovered lots about me, my business, and where I’d like to be.” – Vanessa Stone

“Thank you so very much for the excellent seminar today. You presented your material in a lively, and interesting format. I especially liked the white board exercises…I went into your seminar not knowing what to expect, and I came away thinking, “That was the best $35.00 I ever invested.” – Vyvyan Rousseaux
