Should you start planning now for 2012?

Probably.

But we’ve all been through the misery of “strat planning” which often involves a lot of talking, a lot of writing, and not much changing.

Here’s a gift from my friend Les McKeown: a complete annual planning tool. I’m using it, and I suggest you take a look too. (It includes a workbook, mp3 guide and worksheets. And it’s totally, no-strings-attached, free.)

PS – you might consider checking out Les’s new book, The Synergist. It’s not out until January, but worth pre-0rdering. I’ve read it (and taken  the workshop associated with it), and you’ll find it useful if you work with another person or in a team or in an organization that has teams. So yes, useful.
