Advanced Business Strategy
Patrick Bet-David
WHY TAKE THIS COURSE?
In the midst of planning, recording and creating this course, the world has experienced some major life-changing events.Â
While some entrepreneurs and business owners have been inspired with new ideas and have flourished, others have been met with harsh realities and failure.
Thatâs why knowing how to make your next five, ten, or fifteen next moves in the War Room, Board Room, and Bedroom has never been more important than today.
Whether you are a Founder of a company at war, fighting to stay alive in the business jungle; a CEO leading in the corporate sector, trying to keep the company together and investors happy; or a new entrepreneur, sales person, or manager with aspirations of going to the next level in your career, this course has content for you.
Over the last twenty years, I have gone from being a broke employee to being a new entrepreneur, a salesperson, a sales manager, a sales leader, a startup CEO/Founder, and a content creatorâŠand survived.
I have had countless moments where I wanted to quit (and maybe I should have in order to avoid the pain and heartaches), but I didnât. This course and this content of Advanced Business Strategy is what you wonât get taught in a traditional education. It is a hands-on approach, encapsulating my twenty-plus years of experiences of dealing with people and making it work. It is the tool I wish I had when I started.
Now, itâs your tool. My hope is that you take this course and content, apply it, and get to your next level by making the RIGHT next moves for your life and business because the world needs our best more than ever.
Make Your Next Move Count.

Frequently Asked Questions
Consulting involves providing expert advice and solutions to businesses to help them overcome challenges, improve performance, and achieve their goals. This can include strategy development, process optimization, financial planning, technology implementation, and more. The consultant’s role is to bring an outside perspective, industry knowledge, and specialized expertise to deliver value and drive change.
Yes, we provide consulting services to all types of businesses, regardless of their industry or niche. Our team has a diverse range of expertise and experience, enabling us to understand unique business challenges and offer tailored solutions. Whether you’re a startup seeking growth strategies, an established firm looking to improve operations, or a company facing industry-specific issues, we’re here to help.
Attending seminars regularly can be highly beneficial, but it’s essential to strike a balance. If you’re not able to implement the learnings from previous events before attending the next, you may be attending too many. Consider spacing out your seminar attendance to ensure you have time to put your new knowledge into practice.
When making such a transition, establish a unique value proposition that differentiates your startup from your previous employer. Cultivate strong relationships with your clients, ensuring they understand the advantages of working with your new venture. Lastly, consider finding ways to make your previous employer a strategic partner, rather than a competitor.
Initiatives like a Jeckyll island retreat are beneficial when a company is at a stage where strategic planning and team building among leaders are critical. This often coincides with periods of growth, significant change, or when preparing for a major new initiative.
The best strategy involves a thorough selection process to find candidates with the right skills and cultural fit, comprehensive training programs to equip them with the knowledge they need, and a supportive work environment with clear career progression paths and competitive compensation to encourage retention.
Start by identifying the strengths and skills of your team members. Assign tasks that align with these strengths, provide clear instructions, and set measurable outcomes. Trust is built over time, so start with smaller tasks and gradually increase responsibility as trust grows.
To make this transition, identify the product that has the most potential based on market demand, profitability, and alignment with your company’s expertise. Gradually shift resources towards this product while scaling back on others. Ensure clear communication with stakeholders about the shift in focus.
Overcoming self-doubt involves building confidence through knowledge and experience. Seek mentorship, continuously learn, and celebrate small victories. For self-sabotage, awareness is key. Recognize destructive habits and work on changing these behaviors, potentially with the help of a coach or therapistâ

The importance of a business plan
![business planning valuetainment](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/6253f6e60f27498e7d4a1e46/662fb9155c7260ea714f687e_Jared-Lindzon-Author-Photo.jpeg)
Business plans are like road maps: itâs possible to travel without one, but that will only increase the odds of getting lost along the way.
Owners with a business plan see growth 30% faster than those without one, and 71% of the fast-growing companies have business plans . Before we get into the thick of it, letâs define and go over what a business plan actually is.
What is a business plan?
A business plan is a 15-20 page document that outlines how you will achieve your business objectives and includes information about your product, marketing strategies, and finances. You should create one when youâre starting a new business and keep updating it as your business grows.
Rather than putting yourself in a position where you may have to stop and ask for directions or even circle back and start over, small business owners often use business plans to help guide them. Thatâs because they help them see the bigger picture, plan ahead, make important decisions, and improve the overall likelihood of success. â
Why is a business plan important?
A well-written business plan is an important tool because it gives entrepreneurs and small business owners, as well as their employees, the ability to lay out their goals and track their progress as their business begins to grow. Business planning should be the first thing done when starting a new business. Business plans are also important for attracting investors so they can determine if your business is on the right path and worth putting money into.
Business plans typically include detailed information that can help improve your businessâs chances of success, like:
- A market analysis : gathering information about factors and conditions that affect your industry
- Competitive analysis : evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of your competitors
- Customer segmentation : divide your customers into different groups based on specific characteristics to improve your marketing
- Marketing: using your research to advertise your business
- Logistics and operations plans : planning and executing the most efficient production process
- Cash flow projection : being prepared for how much money is going into and out of your business
- An overall path to long-term growth
What is the purpose of a business plan?
A business plan is like a map for small business owners, showing them where to go and how to get there. Its main purposes are to help you avoid risks, keep everyone on the same page, plan finances, check if your business idea is good, make operations smoother, and adapt to changes. It's a way for small business owners to plan, communicate, and stay on track toward their goals.
10 reasons why you need a business plan
I know what youâre thinking: âDo I really need a business plan? It sounds like a lot of work, plus I heard theyâre outdated and I like figuring things out as I go...â.
The answer is: yes, you really do need a business plan! As entrepreneur Kevin J. Donaldson said, âGoing into business without a business plan is like going on a mountain trek without a map or GPS supportâyouâll eventually get lost and starve! Though it may sound tedious and time-consuming, business plans are critical to starting your business and setting yourself up for success.
To outline the importance of business plans and make the process sound less daunting, here are 10 reasons why you need one for your small business.
1. To help you with critical decisions
The primary importance of a business plan is that they help you make better decisions. Entrepreneurship is often an endless exercise in decision making and crisis management. Sitting down and considering all the ramifications of any given decision is a luxury that small businesses canât always afford. Thatâs where a business plan comes in.
Building a business plan allows you to determine the answer to some of the most critical business decisions ahead of time.
Creating a robust business plan is a forcing functionâyou have to sit down and think about major components of your business before you get started, like your marketing strategy and what products youâll sell. You answer many tough questions before they arise. And thinking deeply about your core strategies can also help you understand how those decisions will impact your broader strategy.

2. To iron out the kinks
Putting together a business plan requires entrepreneurs to ask themselves a lot of hard questions and take the time to come up with well-researched and insightful answers. Even if the document itself were to disappear as soon as itâs completed, the practice of writing it helps to articulate your vision in realistic terms and better determine if there are any gaps in your strategy.
3. To avoid the big mistakes
Only about half of small businesses are still around to celebrate their fifth birthday . While there are many reasons why small businesses fail, many of the most common are purposefully addressed in business plans.
According to data from CB Insights , some of the most common reasons businesses fail include:
- No market need : No one wants what youâre selling.
- Lack of capital : Cash flow issues or businesses simply run out of money.
- Inadequate team : This underscores the importance of hiring the right people to help you run your business.
- Stiff competition : Itâs tough to generate a steady profit when you have a lot of competitors in your space.
- Pricing : Some entrepreneurs price their products or services too high or too lowâboth scenarios can be a recipe for disaster.
The exercise of creating a business plan can help you avoid these major mistakes. Whether itâs cash flow forecasts or a product-market fit analysis , every piece of a business plan can help spot some of those potentially critical mistakes before they arise. For example, donât be afraid to scrap an idea you really loved if it turns out thereâs no market need. Be honest with yourself!
Get a jumpstart on your business plan by creating your own cash flow projection .
4. To prove the viability of the business
Many businesses are created out of passion, and while passion can be a great motivator, itâs not a great proof point.
Planning out exactly how youâre going to turn that vision into a successful business is perhaps the most important step between concept and reality. Business plans can help you confirm that your grand idea makes sound business sense.

A critical component of your business plan is the market research section. Market research can offer deep insight into your customers, your competitors, and your chosen industry. Not only can it enlighten entrepreneurs who are starting up a new business, but it can also better inform existing businesses on activities like marketing, advertising, and releasing new products or services.
Want to prove thereâs a market gap? Hereâs how you can get started with market research.
5. To set better objectives and benchmarks
Without a business plan, objectives often become arbitrary, without much rhyme or reason behind them. Having a business plan can help make those benchmarks more intentional and consequential. They can also help keep you accountable to your long-term vision and strategy, and gain insights into how your strategy is (or isnât) coming together over time.
6. To communicate objectives and benchmarks
Whether youâre managing a team of 100 or a team of two, you canât always be there to make every decision yourself. Think of the business plan like a substitute teacher, ready to answer questions any time thereâs an absence. Let your staff know that when in doubt, they can always consult the business plan to understand the next steps in the event that they canât get an answer from you directly.
Sharing your business plan with team members also helps ensure that all members are aligned with what youâre doing, why, and share the same understanding of long-term objectives.
7. To provide a guide for service providers
Small businesses typically employ contractors , freelancers, and other professionals to help them with tasks like accounting , marketing, legal assistance, and as consultants. Having a business plan in place allows you to easily share relevant sections with those you rely on to support the organization, while ensuring everyone is on the same page.
8. To secure financing
Did you know youâre 2.5x more likely to get funded if you have a business plan?If youâre planning on pitching to venture capitalists, borrowing from a bank, or are considering selling your company in the future, youâre likely going to need a business plan. After all, anyone thatâs interested in putting money into your company is going to want to know itâs in good hands and that itâs viable in the long run. Business plans are the most effective ways of proving that and are typically a requirement for anyone seeking outside financing.
Learn what you need to get a small business loan.
9. To better understand the broader landscape
No business is an island, and while you might have a strong handle on everything happening under your own roof, itâs equally important to understand the market terrain as well. Writing a business plan can go a long way in helping you better understand your competition and the market youâre operating in more broadly, illuminate consumer trends and preferences, potential disruptions and other insights that arenât always plainly visible.
10. To reduce risk
Entrepreneurship is a risky business, but that risk becomes significantly more manageable once tested against a well-crafted business plan. Drawing up revenue and expense projections, devising logistics and operational plans, and understanding the market and competitive landscape can all help reduce the risk factor from an inherently precarious way to make a living. Having a business plan allows you to leave less up to chance, make better decisions, and enjoy the clearest possible view of the future of your company.
Business plan FAQs
How does having a business plan help small business owners make better decisions.
Having a business plan supports small business owners in making smarter decisions by providing a structured framework to assess all parts of their businesses. It helps you foresee potential challenges, identify opportunities, and set clear objectives. Business plans help you make decisions across the board, including market strategies, financial management, resource allocation, and growth planning.
What industry-specific issues can business plans help tackle?
Business plans can address industry-specific challenges like regulatory compliance, technological advancements, market trends, and competitive landscape. For instance, in highly regulated industries like healthcare or finance, a comprehensive business plan can outline compliance measures and risk management strategies.
How can small business owners use their business plans to pitch investors or apply for loans?
In addition to attracting investors and securing financing, small business owners can leverage their business plans during pitches or loan applications by focusing on key elements that resonate with potential stakeholders. This includes highlighting market analysis, competitive advantages, revenue projections, and scalability plans. Presenting a well-researched and data-driven business plan demonstrates credibility and makes investors or lenders feel confident about your businessâs potential health and growth.
Understanding the importance of a business plan
Now that you have a solid grasp on the âwhyâ behind business plans, you can confidently move forward with creating your own.
Remember that a business plan will grow and evolve along with your business, so itâs an important part of your whole journeyânot just the beginning.

Hochul Pushes for Congestion Pricing Delay in Last-Minute Reversal
Gov. Kathy Hochul wants to postpone a plan to charge motorists to enter Manhattanâs business district, citing fears that it will hurt the cityâs economy.
![business planning valuetainment Gov. Kathy Hochul holds out her hands to make a point as she speaks behind a lectern.](https://static01.nyt.com/images/2024/06/04/multimedia/00ny-congestion-pricing-cbmf/00ny-congestion-pricing-cbmf-articleLarge.jpg?quality=75&auto=webp&disable=upscale)
By Dana Rubinstein and Grace Ashford
Gov. Kathy Hochul is quietly maneuvering to delay a plan to toll drivers entering Manhattanâs central business district, just weeks before it is slated to go into effect, according to two people familiar with the discussions.
The first-in-the-nation congestion pricing plan , which has been decades in the making, is slated to start June 30. Drivers using E-ZPass will pay as much as $15 to enter Manhattan south of 60th Street.
But even as Ms. Hochul believes that congestion pricing is good environmental policy, she has concerns that the timing was less than ideal, according to a person familiar with her thinking. The governor feared that it might deter commuters from returning to the central business district, which has yet to fully recover from the pandemic.
Ms. Hochulâs gambit, if successful, could also help her fellow Democrats in the House who might otherwise face angry voters in an election year. But it would be a devastating blow to advocates and organizers who have worked for more than a decade to bring this change to New York City.
It is not clear whether Ms. Hochulâs still-formative plan to delay congestion pricing and replace it with another revenue stream would gain the needed approval of the New York State Legislature, which passed the plan years ago.
The tolling scheme was designed to reduce traffic congestion in Manhattan and produce $1 billion a year in revenue for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which runs the regionâs subways, buses and two of its commuter rail systems. That revenue, in turn, would fund the systemâs vast capital construction needs.
