As business owners we are steeped in the philosophy that a great strategy is critical to our success. And that’s true. You need a plan that addresses the specifics of how you will promote and grow your business. But developing your strategy – your North Star – is not a simple task. It requires that you draw from both personal and business elements.

The happiest and most successful business owners are those whose business is grounded in their personal mission. At the heart of a thriving business is the “why:”

  • Why does your business exist
  • What problem(s) does your business solve?
  • How will your business make people’s lives, businesses, or the world better?

Sometimes it’s not readily apparent, or you may have lost track or your “why,” especially if you’ve been in business for many years. Identifying your why will contribute to your vision, mission, and the components of your strategy. But it’s important for client engagement as well.

Business is about relationships – even at a distance. Your customers’ loyalty is largely built on a connection with you and your values, via your company and the values it portrays. This is especially important when your product or service has competition – your clients need a reason beyond your tangible offering to choose you over anyone else.

Once you’re clear on the why, there’s more to consider. For example, your company’s identity – not in terms of your product or service but how you present your business to the world.

  • What makes your brand special?
  • How do you engage your customers?
  • How do people best connect with your product or service?
  • What are the intangibles associated with your business that drive how it is perceived?
