Strategic Planning Services for Small Business Owners from Mr. Mission Possible
Individualized Strategic Planning for Small Businesses - Whether you want an objective view of a strategic plan nearing completion or help building one from scratch, Ron Sturgeon has over 30 years experience in helping small businesses create powerful strategic plans. He can meet with you or your team of professionals in person at your offices or in Fort Worth, TX.
Industry Specific Small Business Strategic Planning Groups - As a person who has been an active participant in industry associations, Ron knows the value of exchanging ideas with non-competitive business owners. "Doing strategic planning with 5-8 non- competitive entrepreneurs from the same or closely related industries really produces some of the best strategic plans for small businesses," says Mr. Mission Possible.
Typically, these group planning sessions last a full day. The principals of non-competitive new car dealerships have gathered to do strategic planning and discuss financials and operating metrics for many years. They continue to do it because it works.
