There is a lot written about business success and business strategy, but in essence it can all be boiled down to seven simple steps:
- Be clear where you want to go – your Vision
- Know yourself and your current situation – internal analysis
- Understand customers’ needs, competition and external forces
- Carefully create your unique Business Formula
- Devise a plan of action – your Business Strategy
- Turn the plan into action
- Stick to it – be prepared to Say No
