Seven Rules for Business Success
1. Define a Mission and Vision
According to Chris Lischewski the first cornerstone of business success lies with the mission and vision. “These two elements, when skillfully crafted and efficiently implemented, can transform your business’s trajectory, propelling you towards long-term success.” He stresses the importance of a clear and compelling mission and vision to inspire commitment, encourage alignment, and drive everyone in your organization towards a common goal.
2. Discover and Establish Your Competitive Advantage or “Reason to Be”
Business success is a complex puzzle with many pieces. One part of the puzzle is to figure out why you are in business. The ‘why’ can be a simple philosophy but should be based on a unique competitive advantage that gives you a “reason to be”. This competitive advantage underpins your organization’s reason for existence and enables you to stand out in the marketplace. Importantly, it should also be aligned to your mission and vision.
