TC: THINK AND ACT IN THE “NOW”

STICK TO YOUR VISION

This past week I received several, what I call disturbing, e-mails. The message was to start planning now for next year. The recommendation was to take time now and plan your action items for 2019.

As small business owners it is critically important to live and plan in the now. I don’t believe that anyone can plan that far in advance in our daily changing small business world.

I am an advocate that all business plans should be based on your vision statement. If you believe in your vision statement and still want to achieve that vision, then you should follow the Accountability Tracker method of taking one small step at a time, all the time.

Yes, there will be changes in how you work towards your vision. That is why we designed the BizQuack Accountability Tracker in one week segments.

Your challenge for this week is take a copy of the Accountability Tracker and use it for the entire week. Put some thought into the goal you want to reach that will move you closer to your vision. As I mentioned before, this system was designed to help you form good habits and to help you focus on what is important today.

The rest of the challenge is to adopt the use of the Accountability Tracker and spend the 15 minutes a day it takes to develop your discipline for success, every day for the rest of the year.

If you can succeed in this challenge, you will always be looking forward towards your vision but working in the NOW to reach it.
