Building Support Structures

Every activity with an end goal or objective starts with a plan of action. The first step is sometimes the most challenging, but as one progresses more and more decisions must be made to achieve that end goal.

There are things you can do to make your journey easier and more enjoyable for yourself, your business partners, your employees, clients, investors, donors, and even your family and friends:

- identify the risks to achieving your objectives

- determine the steps you will take towards absorbing any shocks from such risks

One key way to achieve the above is to write them down and refer to them continuously, update them as your situation changes and share them with the people you work with. This will keep you and all the players on your team focused on the same things all the time.
