#6. The myth of 12 month planning
from Shift the Standard with Kamila von Retteg · host Kamila von Retteg
In this episode, I challenge the conventional wisdom of 12-month business planning. Drawing from my own experiences, I discuss why setting year-long plans can lead to unnecessary guilt and a sense of failure when things don't go as mapped out, despite still achieving financial success. I advocate for a more flexible and effective approach. We'll explore how Parkinson's Law – the principle that work expands to fill the time available for its completion – plays a crucial role in this context, often leading to inefficiency and last-minute rushes. This episode is especially relevant for entrepreneurs who do one big launch a year, providing insights on how to structure your planning to maximize results and minimize stress. Tune in to learn why breaking free from rigid annual plans could be the key to a more dynamic and successful business strategy.
