1 THERE S A BETTER WAY: yours.

2 We live in an overwhelming world. Feel a bit steamrolled by all the options you have for your business? You re not alone. New formulas, tactics, platforms, and opportunities appear on the market every day. You can make yourself crazy just trying to keep up. There is a better way. When you create a business strategy based on what makes you & your business most effective and how you want to connect with your prospects or customers, you can intentionally design a business that stands out without following every shiny object that comes your way. It ll be easier to establish a great reputation, connect with the people who matter most to you, and create the impact you want to make. Before you create your Strategy Map, consider these scenarios: 1) When have you been most effective in persuading someone to agree with you? Write down a specific story. 2 of 10

Write down how that makes your approach different than others. 3) What conditions make it easy for you to meet new people? Write down as many details as you can. 4) How do you like people to respond to you or your ideas when they re working with you? Write down a specific example or two. 3 of 10

4 5) Who inspires you to create or serve the way you do? Write down specific names. Let the answers to these questions inspire your strategic map. There are more opportunities to create and connect than ever before. Business strategy in the New Economy is based on What You Want to Create and How You Want to Connect. Your strategy affects Who You Create For and How They Respond. Every choice you make in your business is influenced by those factors. Your own Quiet Power Strategy is based on what s unique to you, not a prescribed set of tactics or formula. You ll be more effective and feel more confident in your ability to lead your business and produce high value work when you re driven by your personal composition. 4 of 10
