KEY TAKEAWAYS

• You are probably spending 80% of the time doing things that get 20% of the result
• It’s about having a process
• The strategic planning process has three elements – vision, strategy, tactics
• You need a balance across all three to maximise your success
• Vision is the big picture over 1-10 years, strategy what you will be doing in the next few months, tactics is what you are doing today
• You have to start with the vision
• Purpose is why you are doing what you do, mission is what you are looking to achieve, values is how you show up day after day to make it happen
• Have a purpose that you can grow into
• Your purpose is a starting point so the shorter the better
• Your purpose should broad enough that it resonates and fills your heart and allows you to grow into it over time
• The marketing message is between strategy and tactics
• What purpose does your business serve?
• Involve your staff in the process and you will empower them to make it their own
• Deciding what you stand for and what you stand against is a very powerful marketing message

ABOUT THE HOST

Nick James

Nick dropped out of university at the age of 21 and failed spectacularly with his first coaching business, which forced him to take a £16k/yr telesales job. 

Within 12 months he was the top performer and left to start his second business at 24. This time he discovered a winning formula and before long had a multi-six-figure company.

He then made a huge mistake which nearly put him out of business and cost him £50,000 in personal cash!

Fortunately, Nick kept it afloat, turned it around, and sold that business 2 years later in a seven-figure deal. 

He then co-founded a multi-million-pound marketing company, which he exited in 2015, and created Expert Empires.

Today, Expert Empires is known as the UK's number one business event for Experts, with world-renowned celebrity speakers like Gary Vaynerchuk, Grant Cardone, Chalene Johnson, David Goggins, and Lewis Howes gracing the stage.

Nick also specialises in helping Coaches, Consultants, Speakers, Trainers, and Authors take their businesses from zero to six figures and beyond through his Expert Empires Mastermind programme.
