Here is our final strategic planning technique:

Review your plan and identify a “theme” for the year: Once your plan is set, you will most likely see a theme emerging. Themes are important reminders for how and where to focus through the year. For example: “Getting ready to sell,” “People first,” “Maintaining market share,” or “Breaking through” can serve as powerful mantras to help stay on track when executing the strategic plan.

Strategic planning can be done in small steps and doesn’t require extensive off-site retreats to be effective. Remember, however, that all the planning in the world won’t get your goals accomplished. Only by implementing your plan will you see the results. These basic steps will help you focus on the future and get re-energized about what you can accomplish with a day’s worth of planning and dedication.
