My former boss talked about analysis paralysis when making decisions. IE you can think and think about something, but if you don’t act its useless. Thats how I approach my small business

“Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.”

I love it when people use Sun Tzu in business speak. Regardless, I think the point is to always be moving. I would go so far as to distill Sun Tzu’s quote into this: thinking and doing. One or the other alone is just about as usual as neither.

until today, I still experiment with the proper balance. I have been doing it for a long time, I feel closer to that balance with each test, or business i do.

My goal is always to be able to get passive income without me doing too much. That’s also a reason, i think, why it takes me longer sometimes to find that balance.

I think that a lot of small business owners are bogged down with the mundane chores of business (orders & staff hassles) and are unable to really focus on tactics and strategies to properly market their business.

Hello Dawud.
Nice one as usual. As I always say, Creative of any sort without strategy is only art.
Take good care and have a wonderful year.
Those that sit on their hands waiting for good times will be last as usual.
Cheers

I agree with the above post. I did think about starting my own business but then soon discovered how much hassle it would actually be! You lose so much of your free time it is a joke!

I think it is tough to try to balance running your own business and finding time to do what you want to. A lot of us start a small business to have “freedom” but end up working so much we actually lose some.

Nice article, and some thoughtful eastern philosophy.

Looks like timing is the key here. Knowing when to implement your ideas is important but extremly difficult. You want to be ready to jump in the business, but when exactly, depends upon experience.

I also think of worling for myself as more of a lifestyle then job. I am an extreme b person and can just work when it suits me. Be that 2 aclock in the morning

Most of the wisdom i use in my business is from other parts of life, not philosophy, but all the issues that I know something about. using the experiences i have.

Strategy without tactics and tactics without strategy are mistakes. My problem is that I thought these two actions were the same.

Meaning if I plan to attack a niche within the wedding market, which I do, When I plan my strategy this is basically planning my tactics.

I know I am asking a naive question, but can someone give me a real worl example of the differences?
