If you’re lucky, there’s a good chance that you’ve already managed to hire a few great workers as well. But here at Technalink, we’ve found that some businesses stop worrying about their employees once they have them on their side. [Read more…]

Is Your Life Plan Aligned With Your Business Plan?
When it comes to starting or running a business, one thing that can’t be overlooked is developing a business plan. The right business plan is like your roadmap to your goals, and following it is important for making sure that you reach them.
But here at Technalink, we’ve seen that many people don’t realize that their life plan and their business plan are much more closely related than they may think. As a business leader, it’s important that you keep aspects of your personal and professional life separate. But at the same time there’s a direct relationship between your personal goals and your professional ones, your life plan and your business plan.<!–more–>
For example, when your life plan is focused solely on professional success, it can seem as though you’re putting all your effort towards your specific goals. But are you happy in your life? If not, there’s a chance that you’ll end up with a bad attitude at work, which in turn can drag down your success. Or, you may find that your life plan is so far removed that it’s distracting you from your professional goals.
This is why striking a balance between your life plan and business plan is essential for true success. The most effective business leaders understand that when their personal life is in harmony with their professional goals, they’re more likely to be productive, motivated, and driven in the workplace. Take Patrick Dovigi, for example. His ability to balance his personal ambitions with his entrepreneurial endeavors has been key to his success. By aligning personal values with professional objectives, you create a foundation that supports both aspects of your life.
In turn, this balance can help fuel long-term growth for your business. A strong business plan doesn’t just outline financial targets or market strategies—it also takes into account how your personal well-being impacts your work performance. When you’re clear on both your personal and professional goals, you can make decisions that not only benefit your business but also improve your overall quality of life.
There’s obviously a fine line here that you need to be able to walk in order to keep your business success moving forwards. The key is understanding what it is that makes you happy outside of work. This simple step helps make it easier for you to focus your at-work energy on work while spending your time in your personal life moving towards those personal goals.
It sounds simple, and that’s because it really is. Aligning your life and business plans doesn’t mean that the two have to be similar or that they are both moving towards the same goal. It helps, of course, if one of your goals is to reach a certain point professionally, but the two sides of your life can be separate and yet still aligned. As long as you’re moving forwards towards goals in both of them, it’s like following two parallel lines into the future – and to where you and your company need to be.
Listening As A Leader
Businesses can succeed or fail based on a huge, varied range of things. Everything from marketing to compliance to simple supply and demand could have a major impact on a company. But here at Technalink, we’ve also noticed that for many businesses, the leadership that is in place often has a tremendous influence on the business’ bottom line. [Read more…]
