Amber McKew explains why a 90-day business plan works better than long-term planning for entrepreneurs. Breaking goals into three-month chunks keeps you focused without the overwhelm of distant deadlines. She walks through practical strategies and offers a downloadable planning template.
Hi, it's Amber McKew with Amber McKew.com here. I'm so glad you're here for another 60 second update. And because it's the new year, so many people are doing planning for their business right now, which is so critical and hugely important to have an eye on where your business is going, a vision on how you're going to get there, and an understanding and a general plan of attack on how you're going to get there as well. But I also find that sometimes it can feel overwhelming to sit down and plan a whole year ahead. What you're going to be doing when, especially if you're in rent ramp up mode. If there's something you're really trying to get done in a short amount of time, or if you're starting a new project or if you're starting a new business, it's hard to think all the way out because you don't exactly know where you're going to be when. So what you can do instead to still create a plan, to still get jump start and get a lot of energy infused and have a game plan so you know what you need to do when is create a 90 day plan instead and what this is and I'll show you example and have a downloadable document over on my website@ambermcch.com that you can check out and print out to create your 100 day plan. But you're simply across the top gonna have a bucket for first 30 days, then 60 days, then 90 days and then on the other side on the rows, you're gonna document the core buckets that you want to focus on. So business operations, marketing, sales and marketing thought leadership are examples of three buckets you can have. And then you're going to fill out each of the stitches.
