Planning your 2022 Are you looking at planning your 2022 soon? Planning ahead can be a powerful tool for achieving what you want, but where to start, what to cover and how do you make it happen. Joolz shares a simple guide to planning effectively. Your annual business plan should consist of goals and milestones to guide your operations for the year ahead. It will help guide you and your staff in the right direction. I have been reflecting on why I haven’t done what I wanted this year (too busy with other things which is great but frustrating at the same time) and it made me realise why I need to plan properly. So I thought I would share it.

Where are you now? For many people, this year’s new year begins with a review of their previous year. What went well, what could you improve on? Anything you want to avoid at all costs? We have previously written about the power of reflection and it’s a good thing to do before you start planning. The Wheel of Values is a good way to do this as it looks at different aspects. It can be done on a personal or professional basis.

The Wheel of Values In each of the 8 sections, write one of your values and mark the number you feel you are at right now. 1 (inside) being not happy and 5 (outside) being that you couldn’t be happier. Once you’ve circled the numbers, join the dots (and maybe colour it in). In an ideal world you’ll be balanced in your responses. A bit like a literal wheel it needs to be well-shaped and balanced to turn. When you look at your wheel, if anywhere stands out as needing some work that may be where you want to focus your efforts.
