Every journey begins with a simple step. Oftentimes, that step is as simple as finding clarity amidst the chaos. In this episode of our Inside Digital Growth series, one of our dear listeners asks “How can we best plan for future growth in a world that is unpredictable and full of change?” July is the perfect time to assess how 2022 is going for your brand and whether the rest of the year is going to be a period of growth or stagnation for you and your business. Strategic planning as a 90 day process — rather than one that is a 360 day process — is the key to being an agile financial brand in this modern market and we’ll reveal to you the two conversations you need to have with yourself every quarter to better guide your financial brand. Join us as we discuss: - Why optimism is a good thing for financial brands (9:55) - Transforming mindset through the strategic planning process (14:30) - The 90 Day Growth Method Framework(16:45) - A simple approach for gaining clarity into future growth (31:33) Check out these resources we mentioned during the podcast: - Text your questions to James Robert at 415-579-3002 - The 90 Day Growth Method You can find this interview and many more by subscribing to Banking on Digital Growth on Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/banking-on-digital-growth/id1498837117), on Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/6ml7uCQ7HoVvWTYUNpdUfS), or here (https://www.digitalgrowth.com/podcast).
