Strategic Planning – Stop Chasing Shiny Baubles

Stop Chasing Shiny Baubles: How to Improve Focus and Increase Profitability

Frequently distractions are easy to spot. But sometimes a distraction comes packaged looking like an opportunity. Do you know how to tell them apart?  Shiny baubles are those distractions that may appear to be opportunities. When we are unable to clearly distinguish between a real opportunity and a shiny bauble, we waste valuable time, money and energy on projects, ideas, and products that never provide the expected return on investment. Worse yet, we may neglect or overlook a true opportunity as we chase after those shiny baubles.

Join member Karen Jett of Jett Excellence as she provides tools that will help you to improve your focus, increase your profitability, and clearly identify shiny baubles before you invest in them.  Each attendee will learn easy to implement strategic planning steps so you can develop a clear plan for your business.

Read this from John Jantsch and tell me if you don’t need a clear plan for your business:   ”Clarity is that strong and unwavering sense that our daily choices are grounded in an authentic sense of purpose. Clarity is how we create a sketch of something worth asking others to complete. Clarity forces us to form the right questions. Without clarity everything we do is either an attempt to gain it or a stab at the hope that we are moving in the right direction.”

Limited to 18 people. Registration and networking at 9:15. Workshop at 9:30.
