16.1. 1. Marketing

16.1.1. Ten Proven Paths to Exponential Growth - presented by Jay Abraham 5/9/2018

16.2. 2. Your strategy

16.2.1. Current Situation

16.2.1.1. The easiest and fastest way to instantly transform your business results is to change the strategy you follow

16.2.1.2. Most companies, by the way, are not even strategic. They are tactical. They are most worried about just generating revenue to fill their overhead needs, to make payroll, to get them through the week, to get them to the next month.

16.2.1.3. Strategy is the master purpose your business is all about. It’s different than your business model. Strategy is literally the explanation of the entire operating approach your business is following and why and how every element of it integrates, advances and deploys the big picture outcome that you’re after.

16.2.2. How do you change strategies?

16.2.2.1. 1.) The first thing is by understanding that you do have strategy you are currently following even if it’s a reactive one. You’ve got to adopt, first and foremost, a proactive long-term strategy.

16.2.2.2. 2.) You’ve got to figure out what it is you’re trying to do, accomplish, build and sustain with your business.

16.2.2.3. 3.) You’ve got to figure what big operating approach will get you the greatest outcome you want in the fastest period of time on the most sustaining and enduring basis. Once you figure that out then you’ve got to think through your tactics.

16.2.3. My recommendation for how you can best change strategy quickly.

16.2.3.1. 1.) Look up the definition for strategy in Webster’s dictionary.

16.2.3.2. 2.) Look up the definition for strategy in a military dictionary.

16.2.3.3. 3.) Look at your current business operations. I will bet money your operations are being run tactically¾meaning all you have driving your business is a commitment to “advertise” or throw a sign up outside your store or send out a few catalogs. That is not a strategy. That is a tactical way to operate your business

16.2.4. Instead, consider the following:

16.2.4.1. Take time to make a list of the highest performing, most impressive, sustaining, successful and formidable companies you know of, inside or outside your industry.

16.2.4.2. Take time to think about what their “big business” strategy really is. What is it they’re trying to do with all the tactics they mount.

16.2.4.3. Take time to think through how they are doing it or accomplishing it.

16.2.4.4. · Then you can break down a combination of a couple of hundred strategies that you’ve identified and you can evaluate which ones

16.2.4.5. But you can’t really build your optimal strategy until you first understand what you’re trying to accomplish and you work backwards like a programmer would who’s trying to create a really powerful piece of software.
