Hello and welcome to part three of our four-part series on what it takes to sustainably scale your business!

In today’s episode of the Lean Out Yout Business Podcast, I'm going to walk you through our Lean Strategic Planning System for Small Businesses. Because while strategic planning is important, the reality is that most planning systems out there are not really designed for a small business.

There are very tactical planning systems that are designed for personal productivity and they don't really work well when you get them into a team environment. Or there are these really big strategic planning practices that come out of the multi-billion dollar businesses, but they completely could overkill your type and size of business

So, let’s dive into the Lean Strategic Planning System and learn how you can implement it in your business model, so you can avoid burnout and get the most out of your business systems
