A new quarter is upon us. It is time to learn from the quarter that just ended and develop a killer plan to end the year strong. I believe in the power of planning short 13-Week quarters. This helps you to visualize how the quarter should progress, and what the outcomes should be at the end of the quarter. It also protects you against failure. If something is not getting done, you are forced to account for it at the end of a quarter. You can’t wait till the end of the year and get blindsided by projects that are not getting done. If you only look at your execution plan once a year, there is less accountability and even with the best intentions, it is easy for things to fall behind and pile up into the fourth quarter.
End your year strong!
