Plan Ahead Entrepreneurship for Strategic and Impactful Businesses
My GIFT Guide for you this Spring! 🎁
"By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail."
Benjamin Franklin
Properly planning ahead in business saves time, money and it also saves you from many possible failures that could be avoided.
Many entrepreneurs and leaders I worked with and met felt the need to jump right into business and projects without a clear plan, without being properly equipped, and without having a wholesome/clear business strategy.
In fact, too many of the business strategies I have seen so far involve only one thing: making money. That's it. No clear vision, short-term, mid-term, or long-term goals or purpose. No real planning.
This type of approach, while can feel comfortable, fast and easy may also prove foolish in the long run and it can backfire in ways you can't even predict.
Or you could be proactive, plan and prepare: envision - gain clarity, put in the effort - build wisely so you can create impact through purposeful and strategic living and leading.
Learn from Roy
I met this entrepreneur a year ago, let's call him Roy. He was making a lot of money, and his business seemed successful from the outside. But inside his 'house,' there was chaos. And this was hurting him, his team and possibly the future of his business.
⛏️ As we dug deeper into his struggles, we realized he had no long-term vision and goals, he couldn't motivate and inspire employees or make them feel like they belonged because, besides the fact that he planned on becoming financially successful, he planned nothing else.
⛏️ At this point, his employees were not committed, and there was a huge gap between him and the team. There wasn't much communication between them except task-related communication.
👉 Productivity and engagement were low. Confusion was high.
👉 And Roy was struggling with high stress, anxiety and lack of clarity.
So how was he making so much money? - you might ask.
By doing most of the work himself while being frustrated that the team was not committed and helpful enough and facing the though consequences of high stress levels and doubt.
⛏️ Here's the deal: when employees don't understand the point of it all, they aren't inspired and committed, their work doesn't seem valued, their roles and responsibilities aren't clear, and their achievements aren't celebrated… they will do the bare minimum work until they can find a better place that makes sense to them and where they feel valued. Sometimes even regardless their high paycheck.
⛏️ The problem isn't in the business idea itself or your desire for financial success, the problem is in the details that aren't clear, wholesome and motivating enough for others to follow you and your vision.
⛏️ And when leaders and entrepreneurs aren't clear on their vision, goals, what they want to achieve, why and how, employees won't be either.
👉 Clarity and strategy are vital in business on all levels: vision, mission, goals, purpose, employees, relationships, clients, resources and leadership.
👉 A wholesome, strategic and clear planning sets up a business for success. And plans must be big enough to capture the goal and purpose of the business.
👉 Thinking small is only going to diminish your returns, achievement and impact.
So get my GIFT to you, #DigDeeper ⛏️ and make big and wholesome, plans - big enough to meet any situation that you can't possibly foresee right now.
"You can always amend a big plan, but you can never expand a little one. I don't believe in little plans. I believe in plans big enough to meet a situation which we can't possibly foresee now."
Harry S. Truman
If you are a startup founder or an entrepreneur who wants more clarity or a refresh over your vision, goals, company culture, employment and client strategy, then the Plan Ahead Entrepreneurship for Strategic and Impactful Businesses guide I created, based on the challenges and struggles I have encountered so far in businesses working with entrepreneurs, is for you.
Startup founders and entrepreneurs who are setting the foundation of their business, already have a small team or are planning to expand and grow their business and team for greater results and impact.
A different approach to gaining sustainable clarity and direction when it comes to strategically planning ahead.
Therefore the guide contains some strategic and focused questions and details that will prove very valuable for you and your business once you work on them. Entrepreneurs I worked with who used this strategy gained a lot of clarity and were able to set a solid foundation for their business. And others were able to 'repair' what wasn't functional and redefine their goals, direction and approaches.
In both cases the business results and team effectiveness highly improved once they looked into all aspects of their business (not just the fnacial aspect) and gained more clarity and insight.
Whatever category you are in, get your GIFT Guide, be proactive and trust the process!
You got this! 💪
Hi, my name is Tünde Macarie and I am the Founder of DigDeeper Leaders - Equipped for Impact serving as a Leadership & Emotional Intelligence Coach and Facilitator.
I am a huge believer that there's no greater achievement in life than that of a wholesome human being who is well-equipped to BE and DO their very best and live a purposeful life, able to create a positive impact through excellence, wisdom, and compassion.
Combining my passion and curiosity for human behavior, transformational change, purposeful living and effective leadership, has led me to build my coaching business and help leaders, entrepreneurs, startup founders and their teams develop the EQ skills they need to be effective, perform well and successfully handle continuous change and challenges in business, society, relationships, and personal life.
My dream is to work with more and more influential entrepreneurs, leaders, teachers and politicians who dream big, have an insanely meaningful and purposeful vision and want to create a real, positive impact in their businesses, people/teams and society.
I want to support such people to develop the necessary social skills and competencies to become truly effective leaders who can make a sustainable difference and live a meaningful legacy of excellence, innovation, high standards, wisdom and compassion.
So, through individual, personalized coaching sessions, I help and support leaders and entrepreneurs like yourself in identifying what areas in their lives and businesses need to be improved or transformed. I strategically help you develop the right social, communication, relational, decision-making and leadership skills that can support your SUCCESS and EXCELLENCE in business and become equipped for meaningful and lasting IMPACT.
By getting your life, relationships, and business in order!
We often tend to focus on what we know and neglect what we do not know or are not aware of. And this can make us overly confident in our beliefs and capacities as leaders and entrepreneurs. And so a lot of dysfunctionality and disorder gets overlooked and unaddressed, which can create a lot of unexpected damage both on a personal level and in business.
But by learning to become aware of what's not working and why, and by addressing also uncomfortable and unexpected situations the right way and not postponing to make the hard decisions can have a huge impact on your business.
Not to mention that by bringing order and good functionality in your personal and business relationships and all areas of your life and by developing the skills and competencies that can support you in effective relationships, communication, and decision-making, you can better prepare for and possibly even prevent the damaging effects and painful consequences of unaddressed issues and postponed decisions.
Because first "The pursuit of excellence is gratifying and healthy." (Edwin Bliss)
And second, because I believe that without order, clarity and excellence in our lives, there's mess, confusion and mediocrity.
And mess simply creates more mess and confusion. And when there's a mess in our lives there's also masked and normalized dysfunctionality. The problem is that, by only masking disorder and dysfunctionality instead of addressing it, any type of normalized dysfunctionality can lead to serious damage in our personal lives, relationships and business.
Lack of order is oftentimes closely tied to a lack of higher purpose and direction, normalized dysfunction, and no or very little influence and impact in business, relationships and society.
Whereas, on the flip side, order leads to clarity, direction, purpose and meaning, as well as strategic positioning and positive influence. And even legacy.
So, CONTACT ME to #DigDeeper⛏️ and create a true impact in your life and business through 1-to-1 personalized coaching in a professional, confidential and safe space!
Find out HOW you can bring order in all areas of your life and business, and develop social, relational, communication & decision-making skills and competencies that will revolutionize the way you live and lead.
So, feel free to reach out and ask questions about my work and my approach as I found that most of the time there's a lot of misunderstanding about coaching. And by not being curious, you might miss out on an excellent and valuable possible collaboration. And I won't be able to get to know a valuable person like you!
I am here for you, only a message away 👉
Yours,
Tünde
