Anna Banana Kruchten, has given us something to take us into 2012... a Business & Life Plan. Perfect to get 2012 started on the right foot. So many of us float through life, kind of like a boat without oars or a rudder. Somehow we manage to get some place.. it may not be where we had intended or what we wanted.
Get a plan... make this your oars or rudder for your life. Meet you at the finish line!!!
PS and if you're looking for a fun group... join us at Bananatude!
2012 Business & Life Plan - Let's Rock and Roll Together - Create Your Business Plan in 15 Days
Years ago I was taught a very effective way of making sure my life and business was balanced by using a Peace of Mind Square. I honestly don't remember who taught this but it has stuck with me for over 20 years or so. It works well for me. And.... I was inspired on my daily hike to share it with you! So let's get started.....
For the next 3 weeks I am going to enhance goal planning for 2012 piece by piece
until the plan is complete and it's ready to take form and action on January 1, 2012.
I highly suggest that if you don't have a formal plan that you're using already to take action now! We'll take it day by day and by January 1, 2012 you'll have your plan in place. It's pretty simple to use and can be adjusted easily throughout the year. So stop what you're doing at the end of this post, take out a notebook or create a file online and start with Day 1 of your Business and Life Plan for 2012. Every day you'll have some homework to complete that may or may not take a lot of time. Keep it simple!
Simply begin by jotting down your thoughts and ideas. Play with them until they feel right to you and you've got some passion and excitement behind them. If it doesn't feel good - guess what - it probably will fall flat. You've got to enjoy and be excited about whatever it is you're wanting to create in your business and life. Just because somebody else says - oh you must do this or you must do that - doesn't mean it's right for you. Listen to yourself - and I mean really listen to yourself.
Be true to yourself -Listen to What really speaks to You
Each week will have 5 segments. The 1st week will cover Spiritual, Physical and Social Goals, which by the way are very important to creating a highly successful business. The 2nd and 3rd week will be devoted to business plans. Some days may have more than one goal, other days may only consist of one goal with sub-goals. The point is to really think about what works for you. Everybody's plan may look different - so don't worry about it being right or wrong. That's just bogus.
One of the really cool things I discovered about using this Business & Life Plan is that when you're out of balance in any one area it will show up quickly - which will give you an opportunity to shift and get back in balance. If you're spending way to much time in one segment and ignoring the others - that's a clear sign of being off track. And hey, that's ok. All you need to do is get back on track asap. Got it? Nothing is rigid with this Business and Life plan. This Business and Life Plan is a flowing work in progress all year long.
Business & Life Planning for 2012 can be fun and enjoyable!
Your Homework - pull out a journal or create an online file. Jot down a few thoughts and feelings about what you'd like to create in 2012. Get ready on Day 2 to write out your Spiritual Goals. Keep in mind that 'spiritual' means different things to everybody. The main point is....just get started today!
