As many of you know, I have been busy lately finalizing my business plan and taking workshops on running my business. Many of the workshops focused on making a plan – whether marketing, business, setting goals etc.

Last night the workshop was presented by Tyler Hayden, a fantastic speaker! His goal was to help us set our  Strategic Goals by taking apart our mission statement, objectives, long term goals and putting them into more of an action plan with all the steps required to achieve those goals.

Through his energetic and funny stories, Tyler helped up rip apart our goals and turn them into a plan to get our businesses (and in some cases personal lives) moving along with purpose.

Once done, it is something you need to keep referring to as, it is a lifelong plan… many things may pop up and change your original objectives, which means your overall plan will also need tweaking.

So, have you looked at your objectives and goals lately?  Are you following a plan, or just moving along hoping all will fall in place as it should.  Do you have time to do this?  Are you spending your time on the strategic areas of your business, or are you so busy with the day to day tasks that you have no time for strategy?
