Growth

Friday, I met with a PR expert. He suggested that I focus on helping companies grow, rather than just doing business plans. I've been thinking about that ever since. It makes sense, but it doesn't seem very unique. On the other hand, a business plan is only a tool that enables growth. It's a roadmap, a vehicle for fundraising, and a means of managing growth. The planning process helps managers focus on deciding what they want to achieve and the best way to do it. I realized that I already do help companies grow. That is the benefit I offer. And why not focus on the benefit?

I've decided I like the idea and will begin my own process of seeing how I can achieve what I want. I'm going to explore this new positioning.
