Here Is What To Do When The Plan Fails (what I forgot to tell you)
Written by JT on November 16, 2009
ShareIn my last post, we discussed the importance of having a solid budget and well-designed business plan. You know now how important both are to running a successful business, but I forgot to tell you one important point.
What happens when the plan falls apart?
What happens when, after careful planning an focused execution, the situation changes and the business plan no longer fits?
That is when it is time to improvise, and this is where the superior entrepreneurs are separated from the “also-rans”.
In The Trenches: Do Or Die Lessons From The Business Battlefield dedicates an entire chapter to arming you with the real-world strategies you must have to adapt and overcome adversity.
There are some great tactics you can begin implementing right now. You deserve to know a few of them right now, so here they are:
1. Set up contingency plans. Always, always ALWAYS have a fallback plan in place to execute so you do not lose ground and money trying to flex to the changing situation.
2. Identify the problem BEFORE reacting to the setback. Ask some critical questions (In The Trenches gives you the most penetrating questions to ask) and assess why the plan is not working.
3. Recognize who the competition is, and understand what they are doing to win. This is easier said than done, but clearly outlined in the book.
Understand The Business Battlefield Law of Equilibrium and how it works. If you have a clear understanding of how this works, you can use it to your advantage to totally dominate any industry.
In The Trenches gives you the in-depth education on these and other strategies for adapting to a dynamic and sometimes confusing business battlefield.
For every copy of In The Trenches sold, we will send one to a member of the U.S. Armed forces to empower them with the gift of entrepreneurial mastery.
It’s GO TIME!
