Hi, Friend,

Happy November! This month is all about reflection and gratitude—for our loved ones, our paths and opportunities, our abundance. Business-wise, it's time to finish 2019 strong—your best year ever—and begin key planning for next year. Most diligent professionals will identify their 2020 goals in November, and many teams will even take a retreat to forge a 2020 business plan. Yet, while these are good practices, we've found that most business plans don't succeed because they're built incorrectly using the wrong focus.

In this edition of The Rialto Way, we look at the most important aspects of goal-setting and business-planning. Master Coach Alan Rice gets us started in the blog, discussing the elements of a solid business plan and why he swears by the Rialto Pathfinder Annual GPS tool to implement those elements. And speaking of the Pathfinder tool, enjoy a FREE copy on us! You'll find the download just below. We also have a short video explaining why this tool is superior to other business-planning tools and exactly how to use it. And the video contains a special offer: Use the free Pathfinder tool to draft your 2020 plan, then take advantage of a FREE brief call with a Rialto Master Coach to go over it with you and make sure it’s on track and ready for action.
