As strange as it may sound, it makes perfect sense.

What do all successful businesses have in common? They execute and they deliver. Yet, it’s easy to get bogged down in the day to day tasks, losing sight of the bigger picture. Consistency in execution is the bullet proof vest that is going to keep your company from getting executed on its own accord.

Strategic planning is crucial for the growth of business. Business owners are keenly aware of just how difficult growth is with the constant changes in our economy. Some have a strategic plan laying around that cost the company big bucks, although it’s lost somewhere in a file cabinet. Others have found it unnecessary to market the business or create a solidified marketing strategy.

Don’t make that mistake. Shooting from the hip can only work for so long before the business comes crashing down. Have a plan, work the plan, adjust the plan, and execute consistently. Then, do it all over again. We have yet to meet someone who wears a bullet proof vest well.
