Anyone can make business plans - but turning business plans into business actions mean you need to believe you can do everything on your planning sheet. You need a clear picture of what you want your business to look like. You need that that "I can do it" belief and that "I'll enjoy making it happen" feeling.  Stories help you set goals that you're more likely to achieve, instead of an abstract wish list that looks good and gives you nothing but guilt. The truth is, the use of stories for planning has a long and respectable history. Scenario planning was used in WWII to anticipate the unthinkable.  In this episode you'll discover why stories are particularly effective for small business planning and the 3 kinds of stories you can use as you plan your own business.
