			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;Fail to Plan, Plan to Fail&#8221; this is advice we&#8217;ve heard since our school days but how many of us really believe it and follow it in our business. In this video Patrick White discusses just how important it is to have a strategy if you want your business to succeed.</p>
<p>Have you got a Strategy? Is it right for your business?</p>
<p>On Module 3 of the Business Growth Course you&#8217;ll be introduced to eleven potential strategies and evaluate which one is right for your business based on your Vision and Goals, and the Diagnostics you created in the previous session. Having the right strategy for your business if fundamental to your success!</p>

<p>The saying goes, “if you fail to plan, you plan to fail”. When preparing for growth in your business, it is essential to know exactly where the business is heading and how you are going to get there.</p>

<li>The key elements of Strategic Planning—Competitive Advantage, Adding Value, Mass markets vs. Niche Markets, Cost-Based Strategies &amp; Market-Based Strategies</li>
<li>Examining Contingency Plans and Growth Plans</li>

<li>Porter’s Five Forces model and how this can be applied on a practical level within your business</li>
