One step back to think two steps ahead
October 15th, 2008Are you planning ahead? or trying to build / create something new?
Quite often during this process. ย I will say stop.
Take a step back.
Take an overview.
What happens next? What are the next steps?
Are we doing the best thing to make that happen? yes / no?
How can we make sure Step 1, sets up Step 2 and 3 (all in light of the bigger picture).
For example, I am doing a joint venture to do a series of workshops.
We wanted our selling point, so I took a step back and said, What is the conversation that’s going on in our target’s mind?
What are they going to say to their boss that makes them say yes I will pay for that.
Stop. Take a step back. ย Think two steps forward.
