10 "not-so-secret" steps for business success; Step #1

Step #1 - Know where you are. . .

Have you ever been lost in a large and sprawling mall in search of the “you are here” dot on the map? With fast pace lives, it’s easy to get caught up in the craziness of just getting things done on a day-by-day basis. It may keep us occupied and busy in the near term, but it’s not necessarily fulfilling over time and may prevent us from reaching our long-term goals.

In navigating the world of business, the first step is to take note of where you are as a starting point. It may sound simple, but it's often overlooked. This includes understanding current financial position and its components, important priorities and challenges, identifying distractions, as well as an assessment/evaluation of the overall current status. Once you’ve located your position on the “business GPS”, you can then plot out your next step.
