In Michael Porter’s Harvard Business Review article ‘What is Strategy?,’ he defines and shares the value and example(s) of having 3 to 5 operational activities (processes a company does to deliver its product and/or service) to both differentiate and give a company a competitive edge in their market space. He also says” The leader must provide the discipline to decide which industry changes and customer needs the company will responds to, while avoiding organizational distractions and maintaining companies distinctiveness.

Welcome to episode 171!

I was recently in Adelaide also known as the city of Churches delivering a full day workshop on Strategy to a group of entrepreneurs. I asked them to take a piece of paper and write their business strategy in 1 sentence. The kicker is they only had
three minutes to do this. These business owners struggled to state
their firm’s strategy in one simple sentence. Why? It’s a difficult
exercise to do. Would you be able to state your company’s strategy
in one simple sentence? Today’s episode we will discover your
why…. What is your core purpose? This is just the start of a series of episodes on business Strategy. In the following weeks we will cover difference between SWOT & SWT, how to differentiate your company from the competition, how to discover your X-Factor to gain a 10 times advantage and learn about BHAG! We will have all their free worksheets, on our show notes page compliments to
Vern Harnish from Gazelles.

Welcome to episode 169!

Jeff Hall never had a choice but to become an entrepreneur. At age 7 he sold candy because money meant escaping his life of poverty and neglect. At age 13, he acquired a reputation as a computer nerd at school quite by accident and began working on his school’s computers. At the age of fifteen, Jeff started his business in order to save his family from being evicted, and at age 17 was lying about his age to
get the commercial lease for his first office. 23 years later built up Overflow café helping small businesses become popular online.
