Do you know what your company is good at?

This is Part 2 of our 5-part, Building a Business podcast series about planning. In this episode, we extend our conversation to examine the criteria that should be used to evaluate the opportunities available to build your business. We start by discussing your core competencies as one of the Four Key Criteria to apply to evaluate each of these opportunities. Stick with me as we continue to DEMYSTIFY strategic planning and help you implement a powerful Action Planning process for your company.

“In planning for battle, I’ve found that plans are useless … but planning is indispensable.” Dwight Eisenhower

A critical part of planning requires you to carefully examine all of the opportunities available to help you build your business … and to apply consistent criteria so that you can compare them equally. In this podcast, we describe the first criterion: What are your core competencies and how do they inform your decisions about the handful of opportunities you should really go after.

Remember in building your business … think big, take action and make sure you’re integrating these concepts of Strategy, Finance & Leadership into your everyday decision making.
