Planning Vs. Implementation

Many business owners that I come across suffer from the same problem. They have a very difficult time with getting their business to operate in the way they envision it. It's not so much a lack of planning, but really a lack of implementation.

The first step in getting past this blockade is to realize the thing or things that are standing in your way and making yourself accountable to break those barriers down.




It usually comes down to one or several of these six common blockages:

• Fear of failure
• Lack of direction
• No proven system
• Nobody to ask for help or a fear of doing so
• Lack of organization
• No clarity in goals

Ultimately these six items contribute to procrastination or no implementation of what needs to be done to bring a plan to fruition. Once you identify what's truly holding you back, then you have the ability to adjust to get around these items and/or get help in doing so.

Once you set yourself up to go from planning to actually executing or implementing, the best way to keep yourself moving forward is to keep things in bite size chunks or smaller goals to reach the ultimate goal. This will help in keeping you from slipping back into what was originally blocking you.

Of course setting metrics to measure how well you are doing with these smaller goals and let you know when you have reached the ultimate goal is a must.

Don't let any blockages get in the way of achieving what is your right to go after. Realizing there is a problem and doing what needs to be done to stay on the path you have chosen is the difference between a business that is OK and one that makes a difference for you and your clients.
