Big Picture Thinking and The Long Run

Don’t wing it! Think long term, and think big. Neil talks about how thinking 5, 10, or 15 years ahead with your plan can result in better long term results and how a solid overview can bring clarity to an otherwise muddled and random business.    KEY TAKEAWAYS Consider a strategy in terms of how lucrative and engaging it can be over years rather than in the short term. Try to think a few moves ahead with your business and anticipate rather than react. Weigh up the long term effects of your actions and the costs of short term decisions.   BEST MOMENTS ‘Big picture thinking and the long run is really the ability to look beyond today, to 3, 5, 10 or more years down the line, as though you are looking down from a high point perhaps onto everything that you are doing in that future reality.’ ‘I showed him my epic budgeted business plan which pretty accurately modelled the first ten years of the property journey along with my guitar teaching business.’ ‘My old boss told me this and I thought it was a crock. Not listening to his advice back then cost me at least ten years of progress based on that singular insight.’   VALUABLE RESOURCES The Tutor Podcast  www.Neilcowmeadow.com   ABOUT THE HOST Neil Cowmeadow is a maverick peripatetic guitar teacher from Telford with over 19 years’ experience in the business of helping people.
