This is the time to start planning for the next year in business. If you wait until January, you are late. In this episode I share how my company plans for the new business year.
Key points:
Planning ahead improves your chances of success
Our business planning process in three phases:
Assessment - a thorough deep dive into our internal and external business environment, including a key issues analysis.
Build - create goals that align with our vision and cascade them down to objectives, strategies and tactics. The assessment phase helps us create the right goals and strategies to fit our unique business needs.
Implementation - create an action plan with clear performance measures (KPIs and Matrix), ownership and accountability.

Amazing! It has helped my life a lot.
Love this podcast!
This is such a great podcast for small business owners. I love Viola’s interview style and always find each episode packed with valuable and practical tips to help grow my business successfully.
My mentor in my head !
I first found the Business Essentials on Instagram and got led to the podcast. I’m an avid podcast listener and this podcast did not disappoint.
The host (Viola) provides practical business advise with examples that drive the point home even better for me.
I have listened to all episodes to date and often revisit episodes for advise to better help me navigate my own career. I have also found the guests very informative as they answer the detailed questions asked of them.
Job well done !
