How to Create a Successful Business Management Plan
September 19, 2008
Maximizing your productivity involves many things. It all begins with a plan, and is then followed up by organization, prioritizing, time management, commitment and flexibility. You need to create a system that works for you. If it is not personalized to reflect who you are and how you do things, then you are not likely to stick with it. Now, let’s begin on our road to productivity, shall we?
How do you begin?
Everyone is different, and for me, I work best when things are streamlined and simple, I don’t like to overcomplicate things (who does?). To begin organizing your time, your life, and your business, I like to follow this simple 5-step plan. I must give credit to the book “How to Get Organized When You Dont Have the Time”, by professional organizer and author Stephanie Culp. If you get a chance to read this book, I highly recommend it, as this article will barely skim the surface of the great tips and advise that Stephanie Culp has to offer. I would also like to mention that the book focus on managing and organizing you personal life, but these are universal principals that can be applied to your professional life as well.
The 5-Step Plan for Successful Business Management:
- Writing a Mission Statement
- Mapping out your Goals
- Identifying tasks (to do’s or unfinished business)
- Creating Projects and Prioritizing Tasks
- Scheduling – Your plan of attack!
In the upcoming weeks I will write individual posts with more detailed information explaining how to use and implement this simple 5-step plan. Stay tuned!
