I realize the Thanksgiving long weekend offers me an opportunity to reflect on the previous year and begin to visualize for the upcoming year; not only for me personally but for me as a business person and for the company as a whole.
A few of the questions I am pondering are:
- How am I best going to balance my personal and business lives? Especially since in April I will become a mother for the first time.
- Can I afford to take maternity leave or can I truly find a balance where clients can come and see me beginning just a few weeks after he is born?
- How big do I want to manifest my client base? 20 clients a week ... 30 clients a week ... 40 clients?
- The Tito's Touch products - how many different product lines with how many unique 'flavors' of each line?
- Where will the Interactive Pet Therapy (IPT) program really head? How big do I want to see it grow to? How will I monitor the quality of the IPT experience for those clients and handlers outside of my geographical area?
- Do I want to get into distribution of the Tito's Touch products? How will this be handled?
- How many employees do I want to employ for Therapy in Transition by this time next year?
I am sure most of you who are either in business for yourself or work for another are realizing that most of these questions look or seem familiar. They should as they are the root questions behind any good business plan layout. Getting clear on goals and aspirations for a company is the first step to writing a solid business plan. Not every company has a good business plan let alone a plan at all but for me and my partner we both believe in at least having a fairly solid outline of what we would like to achieve as it helps us with manifesting, visualizing and budgeting how we expend our funds.
Thanks for reading. Embrace your inner wisdom.
Until next time ...
In gratitude,
Karen
