Accountability for those too busy to plan
There are certain times of year I just love, as a business owner. Take September, for example. The 'going-back-to-school' time when we delve back into our businesses with a fresh perspective having had (hopefully) some time to refresh over the summer. We take stock of our accomplishments so far, plan exciting things in the run-up to December to close the year having hit our targets, and re-evaluate our current commitments and narratives, deciding what still serves us and what will no longer do.
I review my progress against my yearly plan at the end of each quarter but spend a whole day doing this and making refinements at the end of Q2. Others do their biggest planning in March/April in lieu of the tax year; whenever you make your best plans for the months ahead, I’m interested to know what you are planning on carrying with you, and what you intend on letting go.
So many people make promises to themselves that they don’t keep, especially ones like, “I’ll write that book one day”, but in order to grow, we all know we must first simplify. Declutter our plans and our minds. When we don’t, we become scatty and over-committed, saying yes when we really mean no, working on projects that don’t serve our real objectives. Over-commitment and complexity lead to mediocre performance.
If writing that business book has been on your to-do list for a while but keeps getting knocked down to the bottom, some accountability might be just what's required. Are you going to write that book? Or is it simply not a priority, cluttering up your mind and creating blockages in your pipeline.
If you really want to take your business, your influence and perhaps even your industry to the next level, it’s time to raise your personal and professional bar. It’s time to commit your thoughts and knowledge to paper and become a published author.
