You are doing everything right.... still not growing Here is the solution introduced to you #strategyview This is not a marketing page. This is not about tips, hacks, or trends. This is Strategy View. Most people focus on what to do. Very few understand why they’re doing it. And that’s exactly where things go wrong. Because wrong decisions— even when executed perfectly— still lead to failure. Here, I break down: – Business decisions – Growth patterns – Human behavior Not to give more information… but to build clarity. Because better thinking leads to better outcomes. If you believe clarity matters more than noise, follow Strategy View.

Two programs running at the same time. One says you're ready. One says stay small. The second one is faster. Every time. Before you decide not to post, it's already decided. Before you talk yourself out of the pitch, it's already pulled the brake. This is why strategy alone has never worked. You can't think your way out of a subconscious pattern. Video 5 of 7

Prompt of the day: Is your positioning actually clear… or just clever? Be honest. A lot of businesses try to: • sound different • sound impressive • sound “high level” …but end up confusing people. Clarity beats cleverness every time. Because if people don’t get it… they don’t care. Use this to fix it: "Act as a positioning refinement coach. Help me tighten my positioning for clarity. Give me simple, clear positioning guidance. Ask me any questions you need. Tell me what you're certain of and what you're not." Be honest — could someone instantly understand what you do? #GrowthFormula #BusinessGrowth #SmallBusinessOwners

Vision and strategy feel like the same thing, but they answer fundamentally different questions. Vision answers: Where are we going? What are we building? What does success look like? Strategy answers: What are we doing to get there? Why these things and not others? In what order? And what are we choosing not to do because it doesn't serve the plan right now? In my research, only 14% of business owners say that alignment with a longer-term plan drives what they decide to fix or focus on. Meanwhile, 29% are driven by urgency or immediate pressure, and another 13% default to whatever is easiest to implement. When vision does the job of strategy, every opportunity looks valid. A new product fits the vision. A new channel fits the vision. A new initiative fits the vision. So they all get added. And the vision that was supposed to create clarity becomes a source of more ideas rather than fewer. The businesses I've seen with a strong vision usually aren't short on ideas or ambition. What's missing is the structure that turns vision into a focused, sequenced plan. The one that tells the team what to work on this quarter, what's coming next quarter, and what's been deliberately set aside. The goal of a great plan is being able to say: “This is our vision and this is how we’re going to get there.” If you have a clear vision and don’t know the plan of how to get there, you’re not alone.

We hear “focus on the process, not the outcome”…but how do you stay fully committed without focusing on the end result? In this clip, I break down how I think about it using a personal example (dunking in my mid 40's), and then a business example (growing revenue). I'm curious…does that idea resonate, or how would you answer that?

Strategy 101 continues 🤓 If you’ve worked with me before, you know I will put just about anything in a table. So today’s topic? A personal favorite. When you’re making a strategic decision, the move isn’t to jump straight to “what should we do?” - it’s to get clear on what your options even are, and then define the criteria you’ll use to evaluate those options objectively. Without that second step, you’re basically just going off of vibes. In this video I walk through how to build an evaluation framework. If you want to dive even deeper, check out the Substack post linked in the comments. #strategy #chiefofstaff

Your strategy is perfect on paper. So why is the business stalling? Spoiler: It's not because you're bad at execution. The hidden trap between your goals and your results 👇

Most leaders I meet can't tell me their story in under 2 minutes. Not because they don't have one. Because nobody ever taught them the frame. After 24 years in uniform and 3 years coaching veterans, executives, and entrepreneurs, here's the 3-step frame I give every client on day one: 1. FIND IT. The story worth telling isn't your whole life. It's one moment where you had to decide who you were going to become. 2. FRAME IT. Context (30%). Conflict (50%). Conclusion (20%). Most people spend 90% on context and wonder why nobody's still listening. 3. SHARE IT. Same story, 3 lengths: 30 seconds, 2 minutes, 10 minutes. Know which one the moment calls for. That's the Signature Story Framework. It's what I use to help people turn 24 years of experience into 24 seconds that change a room. If you want the full 5-day walkthrough — Find, Frame, Share + monetization — it's free and starts tonight. Click The Link What's the one story you've been afraid to tell?

Strategy is your intention over time. Tactics are the decisions you make in the moment. If players don’t understand the plan… How can their decisions make sense?
