Lesson #3: There is a Danger in Dreaming Too Big

| “Many persons are always kept poor, because they are too visionary,” Barnum said. “Every project looks to them like certain successes, and therefore they keep changing from one business to another, always in hot water, always ‘under the harrow.’” When Barnum was struggling to find his way in the work world, he did just that – struggle. His early career paths were as varied as could be. From a lottery agent to a store clerk to a newspaper editor, Barnum tried his hand at a number of different ventures. However, he learned the hard way that was a danger in spreading himself so thin. None of the schemes proved especially successful, forcing Barnum to reexamine his priorities, interests and capabilities. |

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. |

Staff Transition - Problem of Opportunity?
| |
| The relationships, knowledge and experience that reside in the minds of staff are what make an organization. Yet turnover is a constant in doing business, and maintaining that talented, knowledgeable team is a factor leader’s deal with daily. People get bored, lose focus, and feel unchallenged or under appreciated. When staff moves on, you often lose your best and brightest. How do you capture the knowledge they have accumulated, retain relationships they have developed, and transfer the skills they have mastered? Do you look for someone to replace them or is this a good time to look at organizational structure and re-evaluate job responsibilities? When a staff member leaves, is it an opportunity or a problem? |

Strategic Thinking For Business Owners For Successful Retirement, According To Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach
| |
| Small business owners know that running a small business requires constant attention. They tend to work “in their business” rather than work “on their business.” So, it should be no surprise that too many entrepreneurs and small business owners put their own financial planning squarely at the bottom of their “TO DO” lists. A survey conducted by Harris Interactive for ShareBuilder indicated that 47% of small business owners are not confident that they are prepared for retirement. The survey also shows that 60% of the business owners surveyed have NO PLANS to sell their business to help fund their retirement – but for other owners, such a sale can be a crucial part of a successful retirement plan. Here a list of actions to consider when developing your strategic retirement plan as a business owner.
