Season 1: Episode One
Who is Hayley Koseoglu?
Hayley is a business consultant and published author who’s had the experience of having ‘been there and done it’. She’s started, built and exited a couple of businesses in the past and understands the frustrations and the challenges that business owners encounter along the way.
Why you should listen
She loves working with people 121 to health check their business and tailor a clear plan of action for moving forwards.
In this interview we talked about why you should do 90 day planning; how it’s not for everybody; how to go about it; that it’s a bit of a learning curve; and how it doesn’t need to be really slick as long as it’s clear and focused.
And don’t forget to listen out for the homework at the end to help you get started.
Outputs From the Session: How to get started with 90 Day Planning.
- Start with your own purpose. Why am I doing what I’m doing? What do I want from this business?
- It doesn’t need to be revolutionary. It can just be something as simple as I’m going to sit down and understand the numbers in my business a little better. And as a consequence you’ll save yourself some money.
- You can use it as a standalone action planning tool or as a smaller diluted version of the 1-3 year business plan.
- It’s more of any action mapping exercise. 90 day planning isn’t rigid. It should be flexible to fit around you and your business.
- 90 day planning is about breaking down larger goals into smaller bite sized achievable chunks
- I like to start by working out what I want to achieve and then create the process of who’s going to do what by when. And then set it out in a realistic timeframe. But don’t cripple yourself.
- Keep your 90 day plan as simple as possible. It doesn’t need to be fancy. Chances are you’re the only person who’s going to see it.
- The first time you do it you might set some unrealistic goals. But you learn as you go.
