“A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving.” Lao Tzu
I'm going to spend time with my partner outlining our plans for the next year. This will include sales plans, culture adjustments and important vendor decisions. I'll spend the next two days requesting information from my management staff and we will be working to craft a plan that will help guide us over the next 12 months.
Our plan will be nimble, only providing big ideas that will help guide our actions over the next few months. As a business owner for more than 15 years, I have seen many of my peers spend countless hours on some sort of plan, thinking that the plan was the important part of their job. But what I've learned is that the plan itself is about 10 percent of the job; 90 percent is always in the execution.
