Develop Business Goals and Achieve Business Success - Brian Tracy

Business Goals-Business Success- Management Success The strategic business unit (SBU) concept has revolutionized many multiproduct or multiservice businesses. It is a way of thinking that is absolutely vital to business success. It was first developed by the Boston Consulting Group and then used by many Fortune 1000 companies to transform their organizations into more efficient and vastly more profitable companies.


Business Success Within the Business


Each unit is then managed as a separate business, with its own management structure , strategic plan, business goals, sales and revenue targets, levels of profitability, and key roles and responsibilities of the people within the unit.


FREE FINANCIAL REPORT: The Way to Wealth


The starting point of implementing the SBU method is to make someone specifically responsible for the operations and the results of the unit. A competent person is put completely in charge of attaining a certain level of profitability and achieving set business goals exactly as if he or she were being made president of a separate business.


Basic Business Planning


To make the SBU approach work, you begin by drawing up a complete business plan for each unit. Each product or service within the unit must also have a complete business plan that includes estimated sales revenues, costs, profitability, and business goals. You then proceed to determine the exact people and resources that will be necessary to achieve the business goals of this SBU.


Make Someone Responsible: Management Structure


The primary reason that a product or service succeeds is that a competent person is completely responsible for it and is totally committed to its success.


A major reason for the failure of any product or service is that the responsibility for its success or failure is spread among several people, and no one is accountable. No person has a meaningful stake in the outcome.


The Cash Cow


The cash cow is defined as an established product or service that sells well and is a net contributor of cash to the business. It is not growing in sales and profitability nor is it declining. It is a mainstay of the company. It is a key to the company’s success. At one time it may have been the main product or service of the company, but now it is simply a dependable source of revenue.


Your strategy with your cash cow is to devote sufficient resources and people to them so that their ability to contribute sales and your business success extends as long as possible.


Dogs Drag You Down


An essential part of the SBU business plan is to not let the “dog” drag you down. The dog is a product or service that loses money and has no future in the marketplace of today or tomorrow. It seemed like a good idea at the time it was introduced. Sometimes a good deal of emotional investment and capital has been put into this product or service, but it is clear to almost everyone that it has no future.

How to Set Priorities Using the ABCDE Method - Brian Tracy

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - My boyfriend’s messaging strange women

Question: Do you have any idea why a man would start instant messaging strange woman after being in a five year relationship. Said he was “stupid” and wasn’t physical with anybody. I guess you can say I have trust issues. Answers: Ouch! I am so sorry. Do I have any idea why? Here is what I have learned, first off I am really sorry because that really hurts. If you have trust issues especially, that would hurt and sting even more. So first something about trust and then something about men. Trust: When we trust, it’s not that we trust someone to be perfect. That sets us up for failure because no one is perfect and you can’t control anybody. That is insanity if we try to control another and put all of our power – making sure they be a certain way to so that we are safe. Instead, find that safety and trust inside you. That safety being that capacity to discern and know that come what may, you’ve got your own back – you can take care of yourself. It takes a lot of pressure off of other...
