Remarkable Strategy 101

"Transform your Business by being Remarkable" —Seth Godin's Purple Cow How much extra does "remarkable" thinking cost? Consider the entrepreneur launching a new business idea. A lot of time and energy are applied toward the mission of building a better mouse trap. So far, so good. Maybe prototypes (and/or proof of concept models) are built. Friends consulted. Some money applied. Business plans are crafted. Research conducted. Now what? Does the entrepreneur understand what is required to launch a successful business? At a minimum, does she know how to increase the odds of success? Enter Seth Godin's book. Purple Cow. On page 97 (of the first edition; the one that came in the milk carton shown above) Godin offers this thought, "If a company [or I would suggest a start up] is failing... the problem is probably this: [senior management is] running a business, not a marketing company." The shortest path to profits has to march directly through the weakest link. Which is the message of my book, Purple Curve Effect. Need help working on your strategy?
