A personal client got in touch saying that he needed to get “Re-set”.
He is a successful person who simply felt that of late he had gone off the boil, lost focus, lost energy. Could I put together a plan for getting him up and at it again?
This was a fantastic exercise and I suggested it may be of value to many others, so decided to include it here in outline.
Here are the ten steps we decided to take:
1. Vision Revision… what do you really want your life/business/career to look like?
2. Strategic Plan… for the next three years in detail, with specific targets at set waypoints; and an outline plan beyond that to tie in with the Vision.
3. Financial Targets… for his business, for him personally, for his family to enjoy.
4. Financial management and planning to achieve these.
5. A clear monitoring system to ensure he could stay on track (or quickly recover if going off track).
6. Products and Services provided by his business… a complete overhaul as to the way these should look, and a plan to make that transition.
7. Marketing plan and marketing engine based on the above. With new branding, and even a new “cocktail party gambit”.
8. Personal Professional Development (for this we used my KSAS tool).
9. Time planning… looking further ahead than he had ever done before and actually allocating the time to achieve his goals… and remain sane and in control.
10. Self Upgrade… and a new personal regime for fitness, hobbies, reading, family time, and an ongoing maintenance structure to ensure maximum self-care.
Of course, this will vary for each person, and depend on your business / career role, but I am sure you can adapt it if need be. It certainly proved to be a great template to completely overhaul and reset him. Now it’s going to be down to “Enthusi-Action”. And I’m delighted to say, that has already started.
