Strategic Business and Career Development

“How does your garden grow?”  

Using the old-time metaphor, I know of people who use consultants that advise on which plants do best in the sun and those that thrive in the shade.  Together they put a strategic plan in place to grow a beautiful garden.  On the other hand, I know of a few who could ably research online as to which plants will do best in their garden but instead believe it’s too much effort.  Instead, they choose to try, try, try again.  Their effort turns into hard work, time consumption and over time, becomes very expensive.  They lack a strategic development plan.

No matter what is desired in life, a strategic plan should be put into place in order to avoid the wasted time, effort and money.  What is your ultimate vision for business or career?  What do you need to learn in order to implement well?  Are there investments required for a greater ROI in the end? Do you have a social network with whom you may seek advice?

All of the seeds planted on behalf of business development require that the bigger picture be kept in mind, and appropriate strategy used to see it blossom.  Are you currently experiencing some weeds in your garden?  Is it time to thin it out and do some trimming?  

New thought and new fertilization will get your business not only back on track but headed toward the Smooth Sale!
