A well-defined strategy serves as a guiding compass, helping business owners navigate their goals and objectives efficiently. Without it, many struggle and become disoriented in their endeavors, leading to frustration and lack of direction. A successful business is built on a solid strategy that aligns with the specific needs of the target audience.
