Focus is simply developing a plan to accomplish a goal.  It can be as simple as a desire to lose weight or to take an organization to a new level.  We are all natural planners and creating a plan is something we do constantly.

If we want the plan to be transformational and with strategic intent, we need to take some care in developing the plan.  Without getting into a great deal of detail, I offer some tried and true suggestions when developing your plan.

Keep it simple.  Most of us don’t have a great deal of time in our lives to accomplish a complex plan with lots of goals unless that’s our only role we play or we have lots of resources.  Remember that well written goals are specific, measurable, action oriented, reasonable and time limited.
