Hello, this is Laura Lee Rose.  I am a speaker and author. I am an expert in time and project management.

I help busy professionals and entrepreneurs create effective systems so that they can comfortably delegate to others, be more profitable and have time to enjoy life even if they don’t have time to learn new technology or train their staff.  I have a knack for turning big ideas into on time and profitable projects.

At the end of the day, I transform the way you run your business into a business you love to run.

Today’s comment came from a busy professional.

How can a company plan for growth in this upcoming business year?

Plan | Proceed | Progress are important steps to growing your business. If you don’t have a plan, your growth patterns will only change with the market trends. What steps can a business take this year to grow their business to next level?

One recommendation is to have a visible and published Company Vision and Mission statement that is bigger than yourself. Often times – if even if you have a plan – your growth patterns will change with the market trends. This is because — even if you have a business plan – you really don’t have a long-term Company Vision and Mission statement. Having a bigger picture vision and mission statement allows you to manage your plans with the changing market and technology growth – and still stay on target.

For example: Which company vision and mission statement give you more room to grow: To provide quality training for DBA and IT Professionals.

OR

SWWUG.org: Our mission is to provide relevant news and information on data management, collaboration software, development tools and cloud computing to help information technology (IT) professionals succeed in the field. Our goal is to be the largest community-driven site that focuses on enterprise technology.

Which mission statement will provide long term direction for the crew? Even though the second mission statement is Bigger Picture – it is also more focused. It contains both breadth and depth.
