𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘂𝗿𝘀 𝗙𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗮𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 (𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗙𝗶𝘅 𝗜𝘁)

I see the same strategic planning mistakes over and over:

• Planning like a Fortune 500 company when you're a team of one
• Setting goals without considering your personal capacity
• Creating 20-page plans that sit on a shelf
• Planning in isolation without market feedback

Here's what actually works for solo entrepreneurs:

• 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝟵𝟬-𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗱. Pick ONE major goal per quarter. That's it. Master execution before you master complexity.

• 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸. How many hours can you actually work? What are your non-negotiable personal commitments? Plan around reality, not fantasy.

• 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗢𝗻𝗲-𝗣𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻. Vision, current state, 3 key objectives, major obstacles, success metrics. If it doesn't fit on one page, it's too complex.

• 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗹𝘆 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆. Review 15 minutes every Sunday: What worked? What didn't? What needs to change next week?
