Your Business GPS: A different kind of Black Friday gift

Published 5 months ago • 2 min read

I promised you something special today, and it's not what you might expect on Black Friday.

While others are creating urgency around discounted products, I want to share something of real value with you - a framework that's been instrumental in my own business journey and that of my clients.

​

Introducing the Business GPS Navigator: Your Strategic Guide for Success

This isn't just another rigid template trying to force your unique business into a predetermined box. It's a flexible framework - one that I developed as a solopreneur to help navigate my own business decisions and now use daily to stay aligned with my vision.

​

How the Framework Adapts to Your Business:

• Mapping out your ultimate vision while staying grounded in today's reality

• Charting a path from big dreams to concrete 90-day action plans

• Aligning your revenue goals with your lifestyle aspirations

• Creating a sustainable business model that supports your vision

• Establishing clear milestones while maintaining flexibility

​

What's Inside Your Business GPS:

Essential Planning Stages:

• Your North Star - bringing your ultimate vision to life

• Gap Analysis - understanding where you are versus where you want to be

• Revenue Planning - aligning your business model with your lifestyle goals

• Action Planning - breaking down big visions into 30-day actionable steps

• Regular Reviews - keeping you on track without feeling constrained

​

What Makes This Navigation System Different?

Unlike rigid templates that force your business into a predetermined mould, this framework adjusts to your unique:

• Business stage and growth pace

• Revenue model and pricing structure

• Lifestyle goals and work preferences

• Review and planning rhythms

• Decision-making style

Through structured yet adaptable sections, the Business GPS Navigator ensures your business journey stays true to your vision while keeping you on track. It's about quality thinking and strategic planning - not racing to fill in blanks or following someone else's path.

​

Last Tuesday, I sat looking at my screen, cup of tea going cold. The blog post was written, and the featured image was selected, yet I couldn't bring myself to hit publish. Perhaps you know this feeling? That moment when everything is prepared, but something holds you back from taking the final step. It's quite normal, this hesitation. What I've learned, though, is that waiting for confidence rarely works. Action tends to come first. Let me share what's worked for me. A Practical Approach I...

The words hit me out of the blue. "It's hard because it feels like it's a temporary fix." I came across these words in an email from Shawn Twing, recounting his conversation with Copy Chief founder Kevin Rogers. They've been living rent-free in my mind ever since. Because they capture exactly what many of us are feeling right now, particularly about AI and the rapidly changing business landscape. Think about it. When was the last time you felt completely certain about your next business move?...

The hidden wisdom of nature offers profound lessons about growing your business sustainably in times of rapid change. Nature recently revealed an extraordinary case study in scaling: the marbled crayfish. This remarkable creature, non-existent mere decades ago, now dominates waterways across continents through an unprecedented ability - perfect self-cloning. Each marbled crayfish creates exact replicas of itself, multiplying endlessly without requiring a mate. At first glance, this appears to...
