The hundred days of summer is just around the corner. It is the time of year, when interesting and focused conversations with VPs, regional managers, area managers, managers and front line associates are often about the detailed plans and prep for the ”100 Days of Summer”.
The hundred days or so between Memorial Day to Labor Day for many is a critical business season. Profits and success during the “100 days of Summer” can make or break the success of a business unit not just for the season but for the year. Having, knowing and executing your plan is not hard but does take good communication, energy and thought.
Last week speaking to an executive looking for his next career opportunity I ask him, “What is your personal career plan for the “100 Days of Summer”, he looked at me and smiled, then said “I don’t have a plan, but I think I need one.” Then he asked for a few suggestions as to how to develop his plan and we agreed to talk in a couple of days to discuss his plan in detail.
Here are some of the key things I suggest you think about and pull together for your “100 day” plan. Assess where you are now, think about your value in the marketplace, your reputation, your niche, the opportunities you want to target, clarify your vision, your career goal, and then create a plan for the next 100 days.
Don’t wing your job search and don’t overlook the critical 100 days ahead.
If you need help creating a plan, get it.
Think about your plan. Summarize your plan in one page – that’s right – a one-page executive summary.
