Business Plan Coaching Step ONE: The Capture Step

(Click HERE to download the PDF Summary)

Before your client can start working on their business plan, they need to CAPTURE everything that might help them find the best goals, changes, and solutions to create the future for their organization.

In the capture step, they’ll discover and list every goal, change, and solution them think should get done within the timeframe covered by their strategic plan.

In order to make the best decisions, them need all the options in front of them, which is exactly what the capture step is for.

How to Capture

Tell your business coaching client the following:

1. Collect all your ideas. Put them in one place (in front of you):.
2. As you review these ideas, identify anything that is a viable candidate to be a part of the organization’s strategic plan.
3. Write each item separately on a fresh numbered list.

What to Capture

Your business plan coaching clients should consider capturing anything that could make a difference for their business, including:

• Goals
• Strategies
• Actions
• Problems / Solutions
• Anything that could positively impact:
  • Money / Income / Profits
  • Systems / Efficiencies
  • Customers / Sales / Lead Generation / Service & Fulfillment
  • The Team / Organizational Culture
• Changes
• Anything to ‘stop doing’
