2022 Strategic Planning Series: Visioning Your Business

One of the year-end traditions here at Tap the Potential is taking our Better Business, Better Life™ clients through in-depth strategic planning to prepare for the year ahead in order to build those businesses that give them their lives back.

Last week, Dr. Sabrina walked us through the very powerful “Gift to Yourself” exercise, which enabled us to examine not only our wins, successes, and breakthroughs of 2021, but also our losses, disappointments, and breakdowns.

In today’s third installment of this strategic planning series, we’re going to have a little fun by designing your compelling business vision that will give you a higher quality of life in the year ahead.

We hope you join us on this insightful adventure!

Profit by Design is a Tap the Potential Production in collaboration with Small Business Consulting Group.

Show Highlights:

  • Download your FREE Strategic Planning Workbook to assist you in your planning!
  • Since all good strategic planning begins by taking a business and personal well-being inventory, this is a great time to take our FREE Better Business, Better Life™ assessment to check in on your business and your own mental and emotional well-being.
  • Visioning is the most powerful and effective motivator for positive change.
  • As Dr. Sabrina explains, when we vision, we don’t need to know HOW we’re going to create the things that we vision, we just need to trust that the HOW will appear.
  • Dr. Sabrina discusses the Survival Trap Image from the workbook, and how we can align our actions on an ongoing basis to be a direct path towards achieving our vision.
  • Since our brains like to think in images, it’s important for us to use words and language that evoke images when we are writing our vision. This way, when we share our vision with others, it’s like they’re seeing a movie in their head as we read our vision aloud.
  • By using active language and speaking in the present tense, it’s as if it’s currently happening.
  • What is the experience that you want to have for 2022?
  • Dr. Sabrina asks powerful questions to help you identify the sweet spot in your business.
  • How you and your team members can best utilize the Wheel of Life from your workbook.
  • Are you a good fit for our Better Business, Better Life™ program? Book a call with us and let’s find out!
  • Let’s continue to build on what we’ve learned so far and carry it into next week’s final part of this Strategic Planning Series, when Dr. Sabrina will guide us through designing for profit in the year ahead!

About The Author

Dr. Sabrina Starling, The Business Psychologist and international best-selling author of the How to Hire the Best series and The 4 Week Vacation™, is the founder of Tap the Potential and host of the Profit by Design podcast. At Tap the Potential, we work to free business owners from the constant demands of a growing business.

We believe work supports life, not the other way around. Clients in our Better Business, Better Life coaching program have more time for what matters most and more money in their bank account than they’ve ever had. Next, we send them off on a 4 Week Vacation™ to celebrate their hard-earned journey to take their life back!

Dr. Sabrina and her team at Tap the Potential are on a mission to change the story of entrepreneurship from one of long hours, grinding it out, to one of sustainably profitable businesses that support and enhance life. The Tap the Potential Solution™ and our Tap the Potential Family of Business Owners are disrupting small business as usual. We are on our way to making the Tap the Potential Solution™ the mainstream model for growing business.

By 2023, 150 Tap the Potential clients will have taken 4 Week Vacations. These are the trailblazers, role modeling what’s possible for entrepreneurs. In many entrepreneurial circles, it is becoming more and more common for one entrepreneur to ask another, “Have you taken a 4 Week Vacation™?” (as opposed to asking “How many employees do you have?” or “What is your annual revenue?”). Taking a fully unplugged 4 Week Vacation is rapidly becoming the recognized symbol of entrepreneurial success.

Never one to accept the status quo or back down from a challenge, Dr. Sabrina’s How to Hire the Best series grew from her desire to solve the toughest hiring challenges interfering with her clients’ growth and profitability. What sprang from her experience working with entrepreneurs in rural areas catapulted her into becoming the world’s leading expert in attracting top talent in small businesses—no matter what hiring challenges those businesses are facing—and earned Tap the Potential’s reputation as the go-to resource for entrepreneurs committed to creating Great Places to Work with thriving coaching cultures and highly engaged team members working from strengths.

As The Business Psychologist, and with her years of driving profit in small businesses, Dr. Sabrina knows what it takes to find, keep, and motivate exceptional performance out of your biggest investment—team members.
