We found 7 fundamental building blocks linked to 7 business questions awaiting 7 Powerful Answers.
This is the first in a series of 8 blogs, exploring the 7 fundamental building blocks…and 7 Powerful Answers.
As a starting point, Spirited poses 7 business questions:
- What will your business look like when you are finished building it?
- What HUMAN strengths will you use to build your business?
- What do you do BETTER and DIFFERENT than anyone else?
- Who REALLY CARES about what you do best?
- How do you PLAN to connect with those people who care?
- How do you prove your people do the RIGHT things EVERY day?
- How do you manage your CRITICAL risk factors every day?
In the blog-series I will describe our thinking behind the 7 Questions and share thoughts about 7 Powerful Answers.
I am going to use a presentation format adapted from a sales book I wrote a few years ago.
The format will look like this:
Preamble: where I will talk about the things that caused us to create each question.
Question: the seven business questions will be presented in the same order as above
Powerful Answer: where an example will be presented
Postamble: where I will provide some thoughts about the Powerful Answer
Footnotes: references and tools will be provided
If you would like to share your Powerful Answer to any of the 7 Questions then please send it via email to me. I will include it in the applicable blog. Please let me know if you would like your name mentioned with your Powerful Answer.
The next blog will consider Question 1:
