When starting a business, launching a new product or executing strategic growth initiatives it is important that you throw a 1-2 punch.  A wise man (my father ;-)) once said, “plan your work, work your plan”.  This is a simple yet very complex concept.  This idea can really carry over to all parts of life — family, friends, work, faith, health, play, etc.  While we all have ideas and expectations we hope come to fruition, the responsiblity to act still rests solely on our own shoulders for us to take action and turn potential and actual.

If you are an entrenuerial-minded business owner or executive, remember that creating a plan and sticking to that plan go hand-in-hand……neither can be foresaken or compromised.
