Understanding Strategy and Tactics in Business
Strategy is the high-level approach describing a person's way of operating in their business, focusing on what they do, why they do it, and how they do it. It serves as a guide for decision-making and direction. Tactics, on the other hand, are the specific actions derived from the strategy to achieve goals. By defining a clear strategy, individuals can align their actions and filter out irrelevant information, courses, or programs that do not support their strategy.
Importance of Aligning Tactics with Strategy
Having a well-defined strategy helps in determining the appropriate actions or tactics to implement. By understanding their strategy, individuals can make informed decisions on which tactics to pursue and which content to engage with that aligns with their overall direction. Strategy guides the selection of tactics and enables focusing on what supports one's unique approach.
Know Yourself to Develop an Effective Strategy
Deep self-awareness is crucial in defining a strategy that resonates with one's natural inclinations and strengths. By exploring personal preferences, strengths, and tendencies, individuals can shape a strategy that aligns with who they are and feels authentic. Understanding oneself guides the choice of tactics and the content consumed, fostering a more genuine and effective business approach.

Understanding Strategy and Tactics in a Coaching Practice
As we grow our practices, it's helpful to know the big picture (what I call strategy) and the specific actions (tactics) that flow from the big picture. But if we don't know ourselves, we'll look to coaches and communities to tell us what to do and why and how to do it. This is not ideal.
