Business Strategy
March 21, 2007
For those of you consultants, business owners, and entrepreneurs, I have a book for you.
The title - “Art of the Strategist” by William Cohen. (If you haven’t been able to tell, I like to read.)
In the book, Cohen relates strategy to dating. If you approach a room full of women and concentrate on all of them, you will be going home alone. Instead, concentrate on one of them, and you have a much better chance.
Business isn’t any different. You make one initiative a focus. Granted, you back it up by alternatives, but your primary drive needs to be the key. Combined with other factors which you can read about, success is very likely.
Lately, I have been getting more interested in business strategy, not just for startups but in investing and consulting. It is an amazing field to get into at this point in time.
For a good introduction, check out Art of the Strategist. The narratives and author’s experience play a huge part in the writing.
