10 signs you need a business strategy (and how to get one)

New year, new you

You declared it on New Year’s Day. Excited at the prospect of a fresh start and a new year when it hits you. Do you know how you are going to make it happen there? Nope?

If you're still battling the same problems from last year, feeling overwhelmed and unsure of your direction, you're not alone. It's a sign that you need a solid business strategy. Is this you?

10 signs you need a business strategy:

  1. Firefighting mode: You're constantly putting out fires and struggling to make progress.

  2. Lost momentum: You had big plans, but they fizzled out because you didn't know where to start.

  3. Shiny object syndrome: You jump from one project to the next, never seeing any through.

  4. Constant fear: You feel like your business will crumble without you.

  5. Identity crisis: You've changed direction so many times, that you can't even explain what your business does anymore.

  6. Franken-strategy: You're cobbling together ideas from others, but not getting the results you want.

  7. Data dark: You don't understand your numbers or how your business is performing.

  8. Marketing mayhem: You're unsure if your marketing efforts are actually working.

  9. To-do list overload: You're stuck with the same old tasks, feeling exhausted before you even begin.

  10. No time for yourself: You're constantly "on" and struggle to find time for personal growth and rejuvenation.

The Bottom Line: Without a clear strategy, you're spinning your wheels and missing out on real growth.

How do you get a business strategy?

Don't despair. It's time to take control and build a business strategy that will empower you to succeed. Here's how:

  1. Identify the Pain Points: Start by acknowledging the things that are bothering you the most in your business. What's causing stress? What are you struggling with? Write it all down.

  2. Find Solutions: For each stress point, brainstorm solutions and strategies. Work backwards from the desired outcome to create a clear path forward.
