Businesses of all shapes and sizes go through a planning process, typically at the year-end or right away at the beginning of the year. Without a plan, it's really hard to grow your business the right way. In this episode, we discuss the differences in goal planning and strategic planning, and we share our experiences with annual planning from our years of running small businesses.
