If your business strategy lives in your head—or worse, in a 40-page document no one reads—you’re not alone. But without a clear, visible, and simple plan, your team is likely pulling in different directions.
That’s where the one-page plan comes in.
It distils your entire business focus into something you and your team can refer to at a glance. It doesn’t need to be fancy. It just needs to include:
✔ Your 3-year vision – Where are you going and what does success look like?
✔ Annual goals – The big outcomes you want to achieve this year.
✔ Quarterly priorities – What needs to happen now to move closer to your goals.
✔ Core values & purpose – What your team stands for and why you exist.
You can also add KPIs, key projects, or accountability notes—but only if they fit on one page. The goal is clarity, not complexity.
This kind of plan helps guide decisions, keep meetings focused, and ensure every employee understands how their role contributes to the bigger picture.
📌 Print it. Pin it up. Review it monthly.
It’s a small step that creates huge alignment—and that’s where real momentum begins.
