Keys to Business Success

Your success in business is dependent on four keys. Follow these keys and your success is virtually guaranteed, ignore them and your business is doomed to failure.

Have a plan

You must have some idea as to where you are going and how you are going to get there. A plan acts as your roadmap and defines the steps necessary to achieve your business goals. It helps the business to stay on track and defines the important milestones and the steps necessary to achieve them. This must be a working plan, not one that you create then set on a shelf. Consider your plan like a list of short and long range goals and the steps necessary to achieve them.

	Have a method of feedback
	Once you have a plan, you must have some way of knowing if you are achieving the goals and milestones set forth in the plan. This might be your profit and loss statement, bank balance, visitor count or any of a variety of other feedback mechanisms.

Be willing to adapt

As you monitor your progress, you may find that what you are doing isn't working. You must be willing to take the steps necessary to adjust your actions or even your plan to accomplish your goals. Often external and internal conditions change, which result in the actions you are taking needing modification. Be willing to make those modifications as necessary. This may require testing, tracking and follow-up.
