In order to participate in Global Entrepreneurship Week (November 17-21) I’m teaming up with Palo Alto Software to offer a free webinar on business planning, starting at 9 a.m. Pacific Time, Monday, November 17, 2008. Capacity is limited, so please register now to assure your place.

Also known as: Plan-As-You-Go Planning; Going, not gone.

Whether it is recession, depression, or just a dip in the road, one of the best things you can do for your new business, existing business, or growing business is to strengthen your fundamentals. Dig into your planning process to make sure you’re managing cash flow, costs and expenses, but without losing focus on fundamentals. Keep your sights on the horizon — the long-term goals, your ultimate success — without losing basics like following up, accountability, and prioritizing.
