Hopefully, you tuned in last week when I shared three major mistakes most bankers make when strategic planning.  If you missed it, click the link at the bottom of this email to watch it.

In this week’s video, I reveal the remaining four ways that banks set themselves up for failure.


Now that you know what NOT to do when it comes to strategic planning, you may be wondering what you SHOULD do.

I’ve put together a short 30-minute audio EXCLUSIVELY for Grow Your Bank Subscribers.

This free, on-demand, audio training reveals the strategic planning secrets of the most successful community banks in America.

This Blueprint will help you discover:

  • Three ways the regulators will dissect your plan, plus, how to know now if your plan will measure up
  • Why almost every bank misses the mark with their mission and vision statements.
  • How to “diagnose” your current plan and what to do to fix it, to ensure completion of all plan elements next year.
  •  What to do when your progress stalls. (Note: This little secret could be what saves your year next year.)
  • A “blueprint” for an effective strategic plan.
