Putting Your Business Plan Into Action2
Adapted from
"The Easy Way To Put Your Business Plans Into Action", Wendy
Hearn
One
of the best ways to identify the actions that you're ready and willing to take
is by asking yourself empowering and powerful questions. You do need to be sure
that your business plans are current and up to
date. If they need some time to freshen them up, then I invite you to do this
first. Now read through your business plans and get in touch with the positive
feelings you had when writing them. Once you feel in touch with your plans, ask
yourself one or a couple of questions. You may choose to use your own questions
or start with ones such as:
-
What one specific action would have the greatest impact on
bringing this plan to fruition?
-
What is the one action that I most need to take today?
-
What do I feel inspired and ready to do now?
Before asking the questions, quiet your mind and be willing to listen to your
answer. Once you've identified the actions needed, get started now. This
identifies the most effective action to take in alignment with what you most
want through your business plan. As you build the habit of asking yourself these
questions, you may want to add your own or choose different ones.

The Art
of Questioning
You must practice a lot to develop and master
your art and skill of effective questioning.
The general idea of the
learning questions
is "to prompt the learners into exploring issues in depth either by direct
questions or by implied questions – even a raised eyebrow – so that they
become more aware of what is going on and can eventually coach themselves
and other. Feedback can then be used to discuss
progress and provide guidance, but still by using
questions and the main vehicle
for progress whenever possible."2
