Russell T. Cox

Strategic Planning

I clarify your vision and capture it in a key set of outlines and documents so that you and your team know exactly what your vision is and how you want it executed.

• Clarity - Your vision crystal clear
• Sequencing - Do the most with the least
• Execution - Follow through, quality control, correct and continue

Clarity - Your vision crystal clear.

If you are not clear, your team will not be clear. Learning to describe your project in compact, clear language is a key entrepreneurial skill.

Sequencing - Do the most with the least.

The irony of sequencing is that the requirement is to do as little as possible. The goal is to make as much progress as you possibly can with the time, money, and resources in hand and then move on to the next steps. In this process knowing what not to do can be as important as knowing what to do next.

Execution - Follow through, quality control, correct and continue

In the early days, you will never have enough time, money, or knowledge to execute your plans perfectly. In fact, the goal in early stage entrepreneurship is to make more mistakes and learn faster than your competition so that when you move into operations you will be the most experienced and knowledgeable operator in your niche.
