One Small Step For Today But One Giant Leap For The Future
It’s that time of year again when we have the power to change time! With the Spring forward approach we have not only brought more sunshine in to the day but also had the chance to think about the future, opportunities and what’s next!
So, just thinking about future and next, let’s put that into the context of the next quarter and then the rest of the quarters of this year. Let’s see that as a future we can have direct impact on.
The Importance Of Confidence
Before we talk about actions, we need to factor in the importance of confidence. Whilst we are a business very geared towards marketing planning and process, we are very driven on people and it’s about being/feeling in a confident place in order to be able to see the path ahead in the first place.
It is such a powerful thing if we open our minds to visualizing that the future is possible!
What Does Your Success Process Look Like?
The change of time, even just the hour, is such a great chance to take a fresh look at your business and what your success process looks like. What actual tasks do you have planned that can make a difference? How are your team structured around that process so they can impact the bigger picture?
Bigger Picture? What Does That Mean?
We would like you to consider that as your business, your success, your performance. In fact, it’s the purpose, it’s the why, it’s what makes us strive to keep going!
We used the word "step" in the title and it is at this point that we need to explain why. Taking the right steps and adopting a process is hugely supportive to actually being in the bigger picture and not just always looking at it as though it’s an oil painting of something we can’t actually touch!
A Process To Keep You Future Driven
The bigger picture needs to start with clarity on our brand, tone, business character and values, to name a few. Then it’s about the steps or as we call it “tasks” and “threads”. This is because we see your business as a button, something at the front of the business, always looking forward and always in place to keep you future driven. What tasks you do need to fit into 12 thread connections that represent commercial outcomes. An example is “client feedback”, so in terms of looking forward we are inviting you to consider what tasks you can do this month or quarter that relate to that outcome.
Summary
For us, the fact that Spring has sprung, means it’s the perfect time to look again at your plan for the future and just how you can take steps forward to impact that.
If you have a confident team around you and a solid process underpinning the tasks you carry out, then your future vision is most definitely possible.
