Hey Anfernee, this was a great read! I’ve always struggled with something like this as a solopreneur myself where I would get long term and short term goals blurred together and not really know what I was doing lol. I love how you differentiated between strategy and plan. You’re making me want to draw one up for Substack specifically! Thank you so much for sharing this! Your newsletter is awesome by the way! Keep up the great work! ❤️💪

"Over-planning Without Execution" this is on the money. Something I see a lot in the people I've mentored over the years. They have well defined plans but no strategy to help them execute it.

Totally 👍🏻

The action plan and business plan must come hand in hand

Yep - strategy and a plan need to be in place. There’s a well known saying - a strategy without a plan/tactics is the slowest route to defeat and a plan/tactics without a strategy is the noise before the defeat. Ref: Sun Tzu.

Great ref to Sun Tzu. I’m a huge fan of his work since my school days :)
