We found 7 fundamental building blocks linked to 7 business questions awaiting 7 Powerful Answers.
 
This is the first in a series of 8 blogs, exploring the 7 fundamental building blocks…and 7 Powerful Answers.
 
As a starting point, Spirited poses 7 business questions:
  1. What will your business look like when you are finished building it?
  2. What HUMAN strengths will you use to build your business?
  3. What do you do BETTER and DIFFERENT than anyone else?
  4. Who REALLY CARES about what you do best?
  5. How do you PLAN to connect with those people who care?
  6. How do you prove your people do the RIGHT things EVERY day?
  7. How do you manage your CRITICAL risk factors every day?
In the blog-series I will describe our thinking behind the 7 Questions and share thoughts about 7 Powerful Answers.
 
I am going to use a presentation format adapted from a sales book I wrote a few years ago.
 
The format will look like this:
 
            Preamble:  where I will talk about the things that caused us to create each question.
 
            Question: the seven business questions will be presented in the same order as above
 
            Powerful Answer: where an example will be presented
 
            Postamble: where I will provide some thoughts about the Powerful Answer
 
            Footnotes: references and tools will be provided
 
If you would like to share your Powerful Answer to any of the 7 Questions then please send it via email to me. I will include it in the applicable blog. Please let me know if you would like your name mentioned with your Powerful Answer.
 
The next blog will consider Question 1:
 
What will your business look like when you are finished building it?
