86. Plan the New School Year with Wise Decision Making Filters

Today’s episode will help enlighten you on planning the school year with discernment and wise decision-making filters. Because if we don't filter, everything becomes important, we then lack focus, and it's difficult to plan and be prepared. This invites chaos, uncertainty, and a lot of ambiguity into the day or year and doesn't allow us to follow through and be accountable. Understanding your business objectives, setting clear financial goals, investigating the impulse of projects and stress testing the calendar for this upcoming school year will certainly put you in good form throughout the school year.   Tune in to learn more about: Understanding the business objectives Setting clear financial goals Auditing your expenses Defining and scoping projects Stress testing the calendar …and so much more!   Resources and links mentioned in this episode:   Join the conversation in our Facebook group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/schoolsofexcellencelounge   To download the worksheet, and PDF to guide you through the whole process of planning the new school year with wise decision-making filters HERE.   The Director’s Inner Circle & Owner’s HQ is the #1 community & training program specifically designed for early childhood school leaders and owners who are committed to building schools of excellence.
