Strategic Thinking – A Wise Business Investment, According To Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach
Strategic thinking is critical to the long-term success of businesses today. Yet, there are too many businesses that fail to invest time, money and human capital into planning for the future. So many businesses are concentrating only on the day-to-day activities in their business and are failing to create or remember a vision for the future. Some businesses work diligently to create strategic plans, business plans, integrated marketing communications plans, etc. only to leave these plans dormant on some shelf. They fail to remember that these plans are living documents, which warrant follow-through, review and updates. Businesses need to commit to spend more time spent on strategy on a regular basis. Here are ten (10) tips from your strategic thinking business coach to help make the best use of time for strategic thinking.

It’s Not Net-sit, It’s Not Net-eat - It’s Net-work!
If you are in business for yourself and working from home, you are likely to get lonely sometimes. You have no office cohorts, no company cafeteria, no water-cooler or lunchroom to hang out in and chat with folks to ease a stressful day.

Resolve to Follow the 5 Stages of Planning for a Prosperous 2010
With the challenges and uncertainties facing small business owners in 2010, a well-crafted plan is more important than ever. Many companies with 2009 plans that were “in my head” or “sketched on a napkin” aren’t making plans for 2010; they’re no longer in business. Unless your 2010 plans include becoming a statistic, you must resolve to commit the resources necessary to develop a high quality plan for 2010. Developing an actionable plan that increases your odds of success is as technically demanding as any of the products or services you offer to customers.
Business Plans: Uses and Abuses
“Some men see things as they are and say "Why?". I dream of things that never were and say "Why not?" (George Bernard Shaw) Do you ever dream about business success and wonder how to make it happen? We all have aspirational dreams and goals but how many of us know how to turn them into reality. Many of you will have thought about writing business plans to make your dreams come true and been put off, thinking them either too hard to write, not necessary, or feeling that they are not really needed as the plans are already in your head. In fact it is important that you create plans, as they provide focus and a pathway for you to follow to achieve your business goals. In principle plans are not that difficult to write, providing some fundamentals are clearly identified and followed before you start the process.

Now is the Time
I love the hopeful feeling of having a new calendar and fresh plans laid out in front of me. But of course the New Year doesn’t wait long before euphoria subsides and it begins testing your resolve, persistence and plans. Whether your goals for 2012 were written in indelible ink or simply mumbled to yourself during your commute, the universe somehow seems to know about them and begins delivering the challenges. At some primal level, we know that our plans will only take wing if we get both hands on the steering wheel and are not shy about turning it in a direction we want to go. So, if starting a business is on your list of resolutions, I have some thoughts to share with you.
