The Latest News from PlanA

A while ago I read The Excellence Dividend by Tom Peters, it's a great book and I've talked about it in a previous vlog. For your PDF document CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD

I was having a look back through Tom Peters The Excellence Dividend the other day and came across a story that I thought I'd share with you. It comes in relation to JP Morgan who was an American industrialist in the late 1800s early 1900s and the story goes how a person approached him with an envelope and asked him for twenty five thousand dollars, back in those days which is about three hundred and fifty thousand dollars in today's funds.

I thought I'd tell you about a book I just finished recently which is by Greg Crabtree and it's called Simple Numbers Big Profits. I first came across Crabtree when I was reading Vern Harnish’ s book Scaling Up and he provided some of the financial commentary. The comment on the back of the book says ‘there's gold in your simple numbers if you use them to make the right day-to-day decisions’.

When I chat to people about their strategic planning or their business planning, an answer I quite often get is, "I know I need to do something, but I just don't quite know what to do". So that's why, over the next couple of months, I'm going to do a series of vlogs talking about both strategic planning, that really big picture side of things, right down to business planning, along with implementation plans and how to make things happen.
