Business owners and leaders work very hard.  Every day they go into the office and strive to get things done.  People to talk to, tasks to be completed, emails to answer, etc.  However, that is the tactical side of managing the business, filled with individual tasks and daily decisions.  That is the process of working in the business, and it is important, but more is required if you are to achieve your goals.  There must be time set aside to make a plan for the future and work on the business.

Is it time to lay out or update a plan for your future?  What needs to be done, who will do it, and by when?  Once you have that answer, allocate the necessary time to provide oversight and revise the plan for changes in the marketplace.  What do you want for your business? What do you want for yourself? Think about it and give us a call.

Asa is a Vistage Chair and has multiple executive peer groups he facilitates on a monthly basis. The first is for business as CEOs or Presidents. The second is for direct reports to the business leader, frequently in the role of CFO, COO, Head of Sales, Head of HR, or CIO, among others. Both groups meet for a full day each month, working “on the business” rather than in it. It is their one day to step away and think strategically about how to help their business grow and prosper most effectively. There are frequent speakers who come and address relevant topics for discussion. The groups also serve as informal boards where members can bring important opportunities and issues to review with other talented leaders. There is also the opportunity for personalized one-on-ones with Asa each month. Vistage has many groups to service your executive team. If you would like the benefit of experienced leaders of great character, reach out to us.
