2. Celebrate Success

Having a strategy is just the beginning.

Implementation is where the rubber meets the road.

Metrics, KPIs, dashboard - whatever you call them - hold you accountable.

They also highlight when a shift in strategy is needed.

And they create space to celebrate success.

*******************

The reality is that these kinds of successes don't happen overnight.

They take focus, time, and a lot of hard work.

But before we rush into 2025 to set new goals, targets, metrics, and more...

Make time to celebrate success & rest.

There will always be a new target to chase.

"The next big thing."

Enjoy the waning days of 2024.

Celebrate.

Rest.

And then, when you're ready, Jumpstart Your Strategy.

​Schedule a call for help with your company's growth.

What's Inside... Where the Rubber Meets the Road The Growth Triad Ways to Work Together 1. Where the Rubber Meets the Road I often hear, "We want to GROW!" The declaration generates excitement, akin to magical gift giveaways. "You get a car! And you get a car! Everybody gets a car!" It's a start, but the reality is 'grow' is not a strategy. And most companies don't want to grow so rapidly they can't keep up with quality or demand. Processes and systems break down, team communication dwindles,...

What's Inside... A Firm Foundation Data-Driven Strategy Ways to Work Together 1. A Firm Foundation I don't typically START work at 3 pm on a Friday.
