2/25/04 Breakfast Meeting Summary

The re-scheduled Mercer Chapter Breakfast Meeting was held at Michael’s Diner on February 25. Twelve existing and potential members attended to participate in a discussion on Strategic Planning. While this effort can be accomplished in many ways, participants agreed that the most important aspects of a strategic plan include:

• Having a vision of where the company is headed;
• Knowing what the competition is doing and attempting to stay ahead of the game; and
• Recognizing that change is a necessary element for growth.

A strategic plan does not have to be a formal, written document. It could be a mental exercise that is reviewed periodically to ensure that actions taken are relevant to future success.

In keeping with the originally scheduled bi-monthly Breakfast Meetings, the next one will be held on Wednesday, March 24, at the Americana Diner on Route 130 in East Windsor. The topic will be “Self-Help Tips for the Solopreneur.” As always, suggestions for future topics are always welcome. Please send your suggestions to Liz Scafa, Breakfast Meeting Coordinator, at lizscafa@yahoo.com or call her at 609-689-1281.
