Planning
matters
You are what you choose, your actions, reactions, and your destiny is
just what you choose. So, make good choice because choice matters very much. That
is exactly the essence of my article about planning addressed to the small
business owners; as when we talk about planning we actually talk about how to
choose the right choice from certain given alternatives in order to make a
correct decision, in short; it‘s all about decision making, nobody would
conclude a good decision without thoughtful thinking and that is what we call planning.
That planning ahead of actions could be applied on various scales social,
business, or whatever; it is just a key factor for success, and I am here
talking about business. . In my practical life I saw people who plan and others
who don’t. The ones who plan can easily achieve targets or envision the
surrounding situation to be reliable at times of crisis or hardship on the
other hand, those who don’t plan are very weak and mostly they end up with
business failure however, if they gave themselves a chance to plan ahead of
their actions they would have accomplished something worthwhile. The business
history is full of brilliant examples but let’s remember that American business
owner who faced the financial crisis by planning that instead of firing most of
the workers he called them for a meeting and discussed the matter with them
asking them to all sacrifice temporarily rather than partially sacrifice
permanently so they were taking unpaid vacations by turns instead of firing
anyone until the company overcome that crisis.
So could you imagine what would be the result if he did not plan for
passing that situation? And that is only one situation which may pass by
through the business life of any firm. The need for planning would be
dramatically important when it comes to launching a new business. You are the
only one responsible for your vulnerability if you didn’t spend enough time for
planning such case could be there when you open a business while you lack
funding , experience or tools, that indicates a bad or lack of planning and the
result will most likely be negative. Even for those who have up and running businesses
and want to expand they will not achieve a business bonanza without planning
their strategy in details.
-What if the plan fails? There should be plan B and Plan C and so on.
-Who is responsible for planning? It is the responsibility of the decision makers in your organization they could be the general managers, or board of directors, department managers, marketing managers, HR managers or business development managers.

So, vulnerability or strength of your business is your own choice as it
depends on how far you spend your time in planning.
