For small size businesses , mentors and coaches are very useful to keep the focus on the necessary goals. Whichever way you decide to approach this process, the Deming Cycle – Plan, Do, Check, Act is a strong framework to use to get a head.

Step 1 – Plan – Here you really look at where you are and what you want to achieve. Set clear Key Performance Indicators to measure your success.

Step 2 – Do – This is the execution of your planned approaches – to get ahead.

Step 3 – This is where you check your Key Performance Indicators and see if your approach is working.

Step 4 – This is the training – the growth – if you haven’t quite made the mark – then you will have to learn approaches to improve – or you need to learn approaches to handle whatever situations are occurring.

Then, you go back and have another look at the Key Performance Indicators and go through the process again.
