What's Your Company's Strategic No?

Published 3 months ago • 1 min read

What's Inside...

1. Your Strategic No

The power to choose is a gift.

In business, as in life, a Strategic No unleashes the power of YES.

It may look like:

  • Yes, I will lead a Scout Troop.
  • No, I will not serve on the PTA.
  • Yes, I will focus on professional services businesses and non-profits navigating the challenges of growth.
  • No, I will not try to serve everyone.

What’s your company's Strategic No?

Define your vision of success & then build your business around it.

Start here with this free resource to...

  • Define success and your go-to market plan.
  • Clarify what you want to achieve over the next year.
  • Determine what you need to do in the next 90 days.

2. Love/Neutral/Can’t Stand

To carry the Strategic No into operations try this exercise.

On a daily basis –

  • What activities do I love doing?
  • Where am I neutral?
  • What can’t I stand?

Doing what we love generates energy, creativity, and impact.

For activities that sap our energy, consider four options:

  1. Jettison – Is it needed? Can my business say NO & do without it?
  2. Hire – Does it make sense to hire for this work?
  3. Outsource – Can I bring on transactional support to get the job done?
  4. Training – Do my team or I need training to implement effectively?

Invest the time today to create the future business you want.

What's Inside... Summertime Strategy Your Fall Retreat Ways to Work Together 1. Summertime Strategy I love summer. Glorious days of beach trips, early morning swim practice, and endless tennis. It's hard to believe we're already half way through the year. Is a 6-month summer strategy sync top on your list? Maybe, like me, you'd rather be outside than reviewing dashboards & crunching numbers. But the truth is, a mid-year check-in is important and doesn't take much time. Gather necessary data...
