I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

Let's talk Strategy vs Tactics!

You purchase an empty plot of land and want to build a house on it. You don't just start building; you need permits, site assessments, and building plans first. This keeps you from making big costly mistakes.

That's strategy.

What is Marketing? (paraphrased from Allan Dib)

Advertising: You put up a sign saying "Circus Coming to the Showground Saturday"

Promotion: You put that sign on an elephant and walk it through town

Publicity: The elephant tramples the mayor's flower bed and gets newspaper coverage
