You Can Power Your Business Plan Strategy To Success With Goals And Objectives
A key part of building your company’s business plan strategy is to articulate the mission of your company. In a nutshell, the mission of your company is where you tell the world what you do. As part of that mission, you will be identifying your company’s goals and objectives for the short and long term.
A clear, understandable statement of your company’s goals and objectives in your business plan strategy is critical so that both your team and others know what is important to the company. In addition, even when you get caught up in the day to day issues that always arise and threaten to get you off track, your goals and objectives will give you a blueprint of how to operate.
Goals and Objectives are actually different, and both are equally important to the success of your business:
Goals describe what really matters to you and your company, and emotions play a big part. The more you can describe your goals in a way that you can visualize them as real, the better. If one of your goals is to become a million dollar company, your goal is less about the million dollars, and more about what the million dollars means to you and the way having it will make you feel.
Solid explanations of the steps you intend to take to meet your goals are objectives. First you set and meet your objectives, and achieving your goals will follow.
Think of your objectives as the fuel you need to get up each day and work with passion to achieve your goals. A race car will never win the Indy 500 unless it has adequate, quality fuel to power it through the race. A goal is nothing more than a passionate wish until you have clear objectives to follow to reach it.
Don’t start with a ton of goals, because the list of objectives you’ll need to achieve them will be overwhelming. If you can identify three long term and three short term goals that will be plenty to begin.
Set goals that speak to the emotions and create objectives that are clear and easy to follow every day. And, most important, as you succeed and meet your goals, make sure to revise your business plan strategy with more, always driving your company to success.
