Wow, it’s mid November and I’m wondering what happened to this past year. Wasn’t January 1 just yesterday? Time tends to fly as the work gets harder and on top of that a new decade is staring us in the face.

The question is, are you ready?

We all have thoughts of the future but few of us take the time to document them into a plan. That’s because we’ve been conditioned to believe that a written plan should be something akin to War and Peace. “I’m too busy to plan!”

And to a degree I’ll buy into that argument. No entrepreneur, unless looking for investment capital, needs to write a 30 page document. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t take the time to compile a list of what it is we want to accomplish next year.

In all my years of consulting with various companies I’ve come to understand that “planning is nothing more than taking the time to think about all the things you know need to be done and writing them down.”

That’s why this time each year I take the time to write down the answer this question – “2010 will be a good year if…”

Answering this simple but powerful question is all it takes to begin your planning process.  You know instinctively what needs to be accomplished so take the time to write it down because it’s the first step to getting there successfully. 

In my next few blogs, I’ll share with you how to easily build a plan around your answer that ensures important things don’t fall through the cracks.
