Strategy

Where will you play?

No business can be all things to all people.

Decide where you want your business to 'play':

in which markets?

which channels?

which customers?

which product categories?

The narrower your competitive field, the higher your chances of success.

Leadership

No sugar.

Brutal facts lead to good decisions.

Not profitable enough? Latest marketing campaign suck?

Don't sugarcoat it. Find the harsh truth and accept it.

Only then can you make the right decision and solve the problem.
