In this first module of the Essential 11 Algorithms, you clarify what is important to you and how you will get it. You manage the way money comes and flows in your business. You track the important measurements to feed back into your decision making.

Your Personal Plan because it’s not about balance, but about life/business integration. Running your business is a marathon, not a sprint. In order to be sustainable, in fact, in order to allow you to grow, you need to know what is important to you so you can weave it directly into the design of your business.

Strategic Plan because tactics will pull you in every direction, unless they are tied to an overall strategy, that is tied to the most important outcomes for you.

Financial Management Plan because money is the language of business. The easier you can make the movement of money through your business, the easier your business will be. Accounting/finance/money measurement are some of the important indicators of how you are doing. Must be done judiciously and we get deep into that. Financial Management must be tied to your personal and strategic goals.

Your Personal Plan starts here.
