Today, December 1, 2023, January 1, 2024 is just 31 days away. I have been working on my executive strategic thinking and planning for the last couple of months. Now is the time to formalize the actual plan by committing this plan to writing.I do not employ the words “business planning” because a business plan is what is submitted to a bank. Its construction is not as detailed as an executive strategic thinking plan.  The key word in this planning approach is “thinking.” And I have been doing a lot of thinking.The first thought thinking process was predicated on being a Rainmaker here on Active Rain.
