I’m doing strategic planning and budgeting with a client this week: it’s an exciting opportunity to help them set their focus and efforts. In business, as in life, it’s good to take time to examine your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, and to find what you really might be capable of achieving. But maybe the most challenging part of an exercise like this is finding the courage to push whatever line you set just a little bit further, using all that you’ve learned, and testing the bounds of your natural inclinations. Planning like this is all about tomorrow, meaning that all your yesterdays are preludes for what comes next. That’s why being prepared is so important. Take stock, collaborate, choose wisely, act appropriately, and be ready for whatever happens. Be nimble, remain flexible, adjust accordingly, and make the most of what happens. That’s the best way to let yesterday put you and your team in a position to do great work today.
