Strategic thinking is your compass to success. During one of our Monthly Business Strategy Peer Advisory Workshops - The THE ALPHA GROUP INTERNATIONAL Meeting, one of our members Aurora Dawn Campbell AFC, AFM, Business Director - IAPCandM, raised a very important point - That many small business owners confuse Business Strategy with a collection of actions or plans—like launching a new product, hiring more staff, or increasing marketing spend. While these are important, they are tactics, not strategy. A strategy is about making intentional, long-term choices that set the direction for your business and distinguish you from competitors. It’s the "why" behind the "what" and "how." Without a clear strategy, business owners risk getting stuck in a reactive cycle—focused on day-to-day tasks without building a sustainable, scalable business. For example: - Launching a new product without understanding where it fits in your long-term vision might bring short-term revenue but long term sales stagnation. - Hiring more staff without aligning them to your strategic goals can lead to inefficiency and even cash burn in the long run. By shifting from action-oriented thinking to strategy-driven decisions, small business owners can achieve clarity, focus, and sustainable growth.
