New Year Business Resolutions – How do you eat an elephant?

If you are like me, every year I have a grand plan for my business and how I will do things differently. What I have found is that the “grand” plan never works and becomes overwhelming such that I end up doing nothing and having the same plan the following year. I am reminded of the African proverb; “You must eat an elephant one bite at a time”. Basically, have a strategy for tackling massive projects by breaking them into manageable parts. I hope that you and I are able to eat several bites of the elephant this year (one bite at a time, of course).
