Free tool to get your business going from Good to Great

In his business bestseller Good to Great, Jim Collins recommends you start a “Stop Doing” list.

“Those who built the good-to-great companies… made as much use of ’stop doing’ lists as ‘to do’ lists. They displayed a remarkable discipline to unplug all sorts of extraneous junk.” he explains.

A SMALL GIFT TO HELP YOU DETERMINE YOUR TODOs and DONT’s

We’ve put together an easy-to-use 2010 Action Plan which itemises things to Stop, Start and Continue in 2010. Just print out and use to make your list of To Dos and To Dont’s!

What to Start
What are you ready to create and make a start on?
What products and services? What behaviours and ways of being?What activities?

What to Stop
What is not working? What is draining your energy and not producing what you want? Better to cut off a loser and ride a winner. There’s limitless options available to you at any point, so decide what is not worth your time and energy and Stop.

What to Continue
What is ‘growing legs’ but needs more attention? What did you try this year and have success with? Can you do more of it in the new year?

We’ve used this system her are the Australian Businesswomen’s Network to determine what projects, products and programs we should start, continue and stop. It’s a very simple concept, but it works to focus energy.

I hope you’ll enjoy using it.
