DAY 36 - WHAT IS YOUR NORTH STAR?
I hope you’re following along as we countdown the final 100 days of 2022 - you can join us anytime. Learn more about the program HERE.
“The North Star strategy is an aspect of strategic planning that business owners and entrepreneurs use to optimize their company’s success. It’s a product-based strategy that equips businesses to manage and maximize their product delivery by determining an overall purpose or goal.”
The idea of a North Star goal-setting strategy is not a new concept, however, it has gained momentum over the past few years and I am a fan. Though I’m not a New Year’s Resolution type of person, I appreciate the idea of a guiding light to focus on each year. Some friends of mine even change their North Star each quarter or even every month.
Most North Stars are as simple as a single word or phrase. Regardless of the detail, this tool should be an idea that speaks to you and your future intentions.
