In the world of business, a well-structured strategy is akin to a meticulously planned battle. Without a solid plan, your business may face significant setbacks, not in terms of lives lost, but in terms of financial losses, wasted time, and missed opportunities.
The first step in crafting your business strategy is understanding who you are as a business entity. As Shakespeare wisely said, "In brief sir, study that which you most affect". This means understanding your strengths and weaknesses. Success is not just about knowing the "How-To's", but also understanding your "Why-To's".
Once you've identified your strengths and weaknesses, the next step is to determine your financial capacity. This is your war chest. It's crucial to only use funds that you can afford to lose. As professional traders and championship gamblers often say, "Scared money never wins!"
Avoid risking your home or maxing out your credit cards on a venture that you believe is a sure-fire winner. The stress and worry will cloud your judgment. Instead, use money that you won't miss and continuously test your strategies. Clear thinking and a winning formula will set you up for success.
When you've found a winning formula, it's time to reinvest your profits to expand your business. Ideally, at least 50% of your profits should be reinvested into your business in the first six months. If you're using money that you can comfortably live without, consider reinvesting 100% back into marketing. This will allow you to enjoy the fruits of your victory in due time.
The final step in your business strategy is to maintain a detailed log book. Just as generals study past battles and chess players analyze strategies from old masters, you should start your own manual.
Don't rely solely on your memory. Keep a record of every advertising campaign you've launched. Be as detailed as possible, noting what worked and what didn't. Key your ads to determine where your profits are coming from. Test different media, ads, and sales letters.
In the words of Muhammad Ali, "WEEEEEEEE, MEEEEEEEE!!" Remember, the only person who can guarantee your success is you. Here's to your success!
