Business Planning - Get the Facts!
Business plans are filled with projections of what a venture might be able to achieve in the future. They should also be filled with facts about the venture’s past and about the market in which it operates. It is these facts that often convince an investor that t

goal and stretch it. If the goal calls for producing 100 widgets per hour stretch it and demand 110 per hour. If it is increasing the staff retention rate by 10% per year stretch it and demand 15%. Over time, stretch more goals. Inspire the staff, commit the resources, create accountabilities and bring the snap of vitality to your organization.

6 Ways to Boost Meeting, Event or Conference Attendance

Leaning back in my post-Thanksgiving glow, I snuggled in my easy chair, put my feet up, sighed, and read my book until the need for a nap overtook me in a few moments. We all like our comfort. As a culture we certainly prefer comfort to discomfort. The problem is that being in a place of comfort lulls us. It lulls us from thinking, from learning, from activity, from progress, from growth. It’s exactly the same in business.

Comfortable businesses tend to coast. They stagnate. They have reached a comfortable state of existence with comfortable earnings, comfortable staff, comfortable systems, comfortable levels of stress. They have stopped getting better because they don’t need to get better (or don’t think they need to get better). That’s a nice place to be but a difficult place to stay.

While your company is settling back into that easy chair and taking a mid-day nap, your hungry, lean-and-mean, unsatisfied competitor is working hard to make your customers defect. At the same time, your marketplace is changing – the products and services they want are not the products and services they wanted last year or will want next year. New technologies have shifted the playing field and it is not going to stop soon, or ever.

If your business is comfortable it is time to throw a bucket of ice-cold water on that napping, comfy existence before exterior forces demand you wake up and do something about it. How do you start towards uncomfortableness? By becoming unsatisfied.

Take a look at the goals you are working towards. Become unsatisfied with one specific goal and stretch it. If the goal calls for producing 100 widgets per hour stretch it and demand 110 per hour. If it is increasing the staff retention rate by 10% per year stretch it and demand 15%. Over time, stretch more goals. Inspire the staff, commit the resources, create accountabilities and bring the snap of vitality to your organization.
