Every year in January, I used to block out two full days to plan out my year
I would set some ambitious goals.
Pick out some quarterly milestones.
Write up weekly deliverables.
Even set the KPIs to track the progress.
I always felt really good about taking the time to plan.
I was excited to have a plan.
I would fantasize about the results that would come from executing this plan well.
However…
By the end of January, so many unexpected things would happen that my plan became useless.
I would set goals that were too ambitious and unrealistic to hit.
A good opportunity would come that I would be stupid not to take.
A team member I was relying on to help execute the plan would leave.
The business environment would change, and I needed to pivot.
Every year I found a way to justify abandoning my plan.
Which led me to believe planning is a waste of time.
How can anyone plan when there are so many unknowns?
I remember thinking, “Just focus on making more money.”
Which is an endless pursuit and grind… not a good idea
Anyhow, turns out I was just terrible at planning.
The way I was doing annual planning was more like writing a movie for how I wanted the year to go than an actual plan.
These days, planning has become one of the most important activities when it comes to running my business.
Anyhow, in this week’s episode of the podcast, I’m joined by Goose McGrath,
Our Property Specialist from Dashdot.
We go over how to create a property portfolio growth plan.
What I love about this episode is so much of it is relatable to not just property but business as well.
