If business planning doesn’t sound like your kind of fun, don’t worry. It isn’t for many other small to medium sized business owners either. That was until you started reading this, because boy, have I got the business planning help you need to get your business kicked off and sorted for the New Year.

Let’s Get Your Business Planning & Goal Setting Sorted!
What do you want your business to achieve this year? Increased profits, new customers and a larger online presence? A business plan can help you nail down the specifics and requires you to:

• Analyse your performance for the past year
• Identify what is important for your business
• Create specific, measurable, achievable and realistic goals with specific timeframes.
• Create a step by step guide to achieve each of your goals
• Identify the support you will require to meet your goals and reach out to those professionals

​Then there’s the New Year’s resolutions or goals to consider. Now I’m not talking about the personal ones we all set and then forget about on the 2nd January though. Rather though the business resolutions we set and then follow through on throughout the year – and yes, they get followed through with!

To help you get started, here are a few you could use or tweak for your business:

• This year I will delegate or outsource my ____________ and instead focus on my __________.
• Each week on _________, I will revisit my business plan to double check I am staying on track.
• I will learn how to ________ so I can _______ which will benefit my business because _______.
• My business will give back to my community this year by _________. I will ensure this happens because I will _________.
• I will reflect on how my business is doing each month on _________. From this reflection, I will record the things that are working well and the things that aren’t, making changes accordingly. I will also resolve to drop the things that are not working and move on!
• I will remain focused on following as closely as possible what I have recorded on my business plan. However, I also acknowledge that my planning can be adapted and changed as it is a living document. 

Then finally, there is the recording of all of this information and yet again, I am here to help. You can email me to get a free copy of my generic business plan template, or I would love to create a custom designed business plan and goal setting template specifically for your business. Flick me an email with details of what you’d like included on the template, plus whether you’d like it editable or printable and I’ll get right onto it.
