30/60/90-Day Biz Plan

In today’s fast-paced business environment, startup owners need a clear and actionable plan to navigate the crucial early stages of their venture. Our digital framework provides a comprehensive 30/60/90 day plan template, tailored specifically for the dynamic needs of startups.

This plan is designed to help entrepreneurs set realistic goals and track their progress towards achieving these milestones, ensuring a strong foundation for future growth and success.

Milestones: The Big Picture

In the first section of our template, we ask business owners to define their objectives for the next 30, 60, and 90 days. It’s important to be realistic yet adaptable in setting these milestones. Think of milestones as the key achievements you aspire to reach at each of these intervals. Use our color-coded sticky notes to categorize and organize your thoughts. This visual approach helps in distinguishing between overarching objectives and the more detailed tasks required to achieve them. The right side of the template is reserved for a deeper dive into these specifics.

Tasks: The Steps to Success

To translate your milestones into actionable steps, our template encourages you to assign specific metrics to each objective. This approach brings tangibility and clarity to your plan. For example, if your objective is to conduct one-on-one meetings with your team, a corresponding metric could be scheduling eight calls with each of your eight colleagues. This section is inspired by the "SMART" tasks framework, which is elaborated in the notes section of the template. Once you’ve outlined your tasks, you can start populating the fillable 30/60/90 day plan, crafting a path tailored to your unique business goals.

Notes: Understanding Milestones and SMART Tasks

Understanding the difference between milestones and tasks is crucial. Milestones are significant goals that require multiple steps over time. For instance, finding a location for your bakery is a milestone – it’s not achievable in one go but through a series of smaller, well-planned steps. Tasks are these smaller steps that move you closer to your milestones. For example, researching bakery requirements, finding a real estate agent, and visiting potential locations are tasks that cumulatively lead to the milestone of securing a location.
