Ready, Set, Plan for Success

Topic: Business Basics

Effective business planning is challenging—especially during uncertain times. Without a plan, decisions may be based on instincts or emotions. And while instinct and intuition are important factors in entrepreneurial success, they can impede your ability to achieve long-term success. Instead, use simple planning tools to help you analyze your situation, explore areas of opportunity, and allow you to test your instincts. In this session, we cover:

  • Analyzing your business: strength and weakness analysis and a "quick and dirty" opportunity assessment
  • Discovering your critical goals
  • Setting meaningful and measurable goals and planning for long-term success

This session is part of Clatsop SBDC's Summer Small Business Boot Camp.

Speaker(s): Jessica Newhall, Associate Director of the Clatsop SBDC, has over twenty years of business experience that, when combined with her B.S. in Business Administration from the University of Colorado, makes her uniquely suited to supporting the variety of challenges that a small business owner encounters every day. Her coaching approach to helping entrepreneurs successfully navigate the complexity of business ownership is drawn from experience in overseeing the strategic, financial and day-to-day business operations of her own small business, and she is dedicated to helping clients overcome barriers and devise solutions for long-term success.
