Focus On What Matters

Focused on the problem?

You may be missing the solution!

Are you doing “Fire Prevention” or “Fire Suppression”? It has occurred to us that many businesses seem to be metaphorically driving Fire Trucks as opposed to company vehicles. Why? Because they are continually focused on putting out the proverbial “fires” all the time. Simply put, they are in reactive mode rather than a planning and proactive mode.

Failing to plan is planning to fail!

It’s common knowledge that many problems are a result of poor planning or a failure to consider the obstacles of any chosen direction. After all, how many of us were taught to plan for both the “superior outcome” as well as the unplanned “fiasco,” which very often derails our best efforts by catching us totally unprepared.

By thinking about, and “bringing the potential problem” to the front of our planning process, we can dramatically reduce the future challenges we will meet and thereby reduce their impact on the achievement of our goals.

Staying focused on what matters most is always key

It’s good to be positive. In fact we might even say critical. But “positive” is a rather subjective statement and what is positive for one person may not be positive for another. Fortunately for small to medium-sized business owners, there are several key “positive” considerations that affect the profitability, efficiency and success of any business.
