Want Business Growth in 2025? Bin Your *40+ Page Business Plan and Do This Instead

G’day financial planner, Steve here. Happy 2025!! ☺

If you’re like most financial planners I work with, you’ve probably got a dusty business plan sitting on your shelf right now.

You know the one – that *40+ page monster that cost you a fortune in time and money to create but hasn’t seen the light of day since you printed it.

Here’s the truth: Traditional business planning is dead. And if you’re still hanging onto that approach, you’re leaving money (and time) on the table.

What you need instead is a ONE Page Growth Plan. Not tomorrow, not next quarter – now.

Why one page? Because if you can’t fit it on one page, it just won’t get done.

Simple as that. Too hard for you, too much for your team, too little time to make it happen.

I’ve worked with hundreds of financial planners across 7 different countries, and I’ll tell you what separates the ones who are smashing their targets from those who are stuck in the mud: clarity and focus.

Think about your typical day…

You’re bouncing between client meetings, compliance requirements, team management, and trying to squeeze in some business development.

It feels like being stuck in a maze, doesn’t it?

Left and right? This shiny object or that one?

This is exactly why we need to think differently about planning.

At Blackwing, we focus on what I call the Fundamental 3:

• One PAGE
• One PLAN
• One FOCUS

No fluff. No corporate waffle. Just a clear, actionable plan that your entire team can understand and implement.

Here’s what matters: You need to be working ON your business, not just IN it.
But here’s the kicker – most planners I meet are putting in looonnng hours with barely anything to show for it.

They feel productive because they’re “putting in the time,” but when December rolls around, the cupboards bare.

Remember this: It’s not the hours you put in, but what you put into the hours that counts.

Your ONE Page Growth Plan needs to cover:

• Your core business values and purpose (what actually drives you)
• Clear, measurable targets (none of that wishy-washy stuff)
• Prioritised goals with real numbers attached
• Specific growth projects you’ll tackle
• Actions that everyone on your team can understand and own

This isn’t about projecting 10 years into the future. We’re focusing on NOW issues and what you need to do in the moment. Because let’s face it – those long-term plans are useless if you can’t sort out what’s in front of you today.

The financial services industry isn’t getting any easier.

With constant regulatory changes, market volatility, and increasing client expectations, you need a plan that works in the real world, not just on paper.

If you’re serious about making 2025 your year, you need to start with this foundation. No more complexity. No more plans that gather dust. Just one page, one plan, one focus.

And if you’d like to learn exactly how to create your ONE Page Growth Plan for your business, I put together a free training that shows you how to do it step by step.

No theory, no fluff – just practical stuff you can implement straight away.

If you’re ready to bin that 40-page ‘doorstop’ and create something you’ll actually use, click here to watch the training. It’s only 29-minutes and could completely change how you run your business in 2025.
