Key Thoughts:

 

• Anything that we're close to, we see more clearly than things that are far off like that. If we can just hold that image for a minute, and then think about planning, anything that is really close to us, we can see more clearly anything that's further out takes longer. Michele 3:54 

   

• The thing about a strategic plan is you want to plan it so that it's detailed enough to be a path to move you closer to where you want to get but not so tightly that you can't move and that you can't adjust or be fluid with the needs of your company at that time. Michele 7:19 

   

• I don't think that it's possible to create a detailed plan without some idea of how to market. Michele 20:34 

   

• I prefer in a strategic plan to have high-level key performance indicators, that these are the things that I'm going to measure to see if I got there. Michele 23:22 

   

• The more we set up a plan for success, the more likely we are to succeed. Without a plan at all, the more likely we are to fail. Michele 31:06
