It’s never too late for business owners to pause and reflect on ways to improve upon previous financial years.

Each new financial year brings a fresh opportunity—a chance to reset, refocus, and aim for better outcomes both personally and professionally. Even if you’re pleased with your business’s past performance, that’s no reason to settle into old habits. Every business has room to grow, and continuous improvement is key to long-term success. A One Page Plan is a quick and easy way to set goals and detail the actions required to meet those goals.  It works even better if you develop this plan with your team and share the responsibility of getting it done around the group.

How to Use a One Page Plan

• Document where you are NOW in relation to your business, a specific part of your business or in relation to an issue your business is experiencing. Document this in the left box.
• Document WHERE you want to be in relation to your business, business area or business issue in a specific time period. Document this in the right box.
• Brainstorn all the strategies that will get you to your WHERE, come up with as many ideas as you can.  Then pick the top 3 stategies from the list that are mostly likely to get you to your WHERE.  Document these 3 strategies in the boxes on the left had side.
• Break each strategy into achievable smaller actions, making sure you allocate a person responsible for the action and given them a timeframe to do it within.
• Most importantly set up a meeting cadence to check in on the progress of the One Page Plan (don’t put it in a bottom draw and forget about it.
