Future focussed entrepreneurship starts with 100 days

I have been working on my book “Future focussed entrepreneurship” for quite a while now, and since my last Mankracht retreat with tibor.nl, I have come to the conclusion that preparing for the future always ends and begins with a 100-day plan. You need a point on the horizon, based on a deep understanding of the trends, but you will never get there without the 100-day plans.

Tibor retreats

The structure we apply in those retreats is 10 years, 1000 days, 1 year, 100 days. Everything with numbers. The 10-year founders dream with numbers (the aspirational break-even), the 3-year vision with a number, the one year target with a number and the 100 days with one priority, number and specific actions on how to get to that number.

Party

With an associated party as a reward when you achieve or exceed your targets. It forces the entrepreneur to focus and to set priorities and make choices. It makes them accountable, and it creates an enormous amount of space to do what needs to be done.

Numbers

It also helps with communicating the strategy to your staff. If things are correct, everyone in your business nows the same number and knows their own number and what to do in achieving the overall number.
