simplify your business and supercharge your productivity with my 5 step process
My motto when it comes to getting organised is this: there is always room to simplify.
Do you feel like you’re always spinning plates?
Are you worried that it’s only a matter of time before something gets missed?
Are you always working day-to-day in your business, rather than working on your long term vision?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you need my simplification tips.
- REVIEW every part of your business- the supply chain, range, logistics, marketing, budgets, expenditure, IT
- ASSESS your business, and be honest with yourself. What’s really working? What isn’t working? What’s missing?
- ELIMINATE any time-wasting tasks immediately. The best way to identify these is to keep a diary of every task you complete in a week and then decide how it added value. If it didn’t, get rid of it and use your time better.
- PLAN what comes next by setting your annual business goals and breaking them down in to quarterly sprints, and then monthly, weekly and daily goals. You should also create a calendar for promotions so you don’t miss any key trading dates.
- EXECUTE your plan. Set deadlines for your tasks and just start.
If this sounds like something you need to do, but don’t know where to start, sign up to my “Strategy Intensive” which includes:
- A 90 minute call to map out your short term and long term goals, your market positioning, trends, and competitors
- Detailed notes of our conversation after the call so that nothing is lost
- A written plan of action with clear next steps and an annual strategy, split in to quarterly sprints, so you know what to focus on, when.
I want you to start taking immediate action, so once I have created your plan of action and annual strategy, I will provide 1 week of email support so that you can be confident you are moving in the right direction.
Why is my approach different?
I don’t believe in taking a cookie-cutter approach to business planning, because each retailer is unique in their products, operations and culture. I believe in listening to the client and brainstorming ideas to come up with a path forward that aligns with their business vision and personal ethos. My service is truly personal, and tailored to fit your needs; you will benefit from my wealth of experience.
What can you expect from me?
Honesty, integrity and hard work. I don’t believe in doing anything half-heartedly, and I will always give you my honest opinion and the best of my expertise.
