“In very general terms, a good strategy works by harnessing power and applying it where it will have the greatest effect.

…

In either case, a "good strategy" is an approach that magnifies the effectiveness of actions by finding & using sources of power.”

I learned 'Estimate+40%' on actual job sites 🏗️

Before I built businesses, I built roads.

2 years of construction taught me what every crew chief knows: Add 40% to whatever you think a job will take.

I’ve watched every interview & listened to every podcast I can find with Richard… here’s the quote that caught me.

“Good strategy is coherent action backed up by an argument, an effective mixture of thought and action with a basic underlying structure I call the kernel.”

~ Richard P. Rumelt
PHOTO OF Page 77 of ‘Good Strategy / Bad Strategy’ by Richard Rumelt: Good strategy is coherent action backed up by an argument, an effective mixture of thought and action with a basic underlying structure I call the kernel. A good strategy may consist of more than the kernel, but if the kernel is absent or misshapen, then there is a serious problem. Once you apprehend this kernel, it is much easier to create, describe, and evaluate a strategy. The kernel is not based on any one concept of advantage. It does not require one to sort through legalistic gibberish about the differences between visions, missions, goals, strategies, ob-jectives, and tactics. It does not split strategies into corporate, business, and product levels. It is very straightforward. The kernel of a strategy contains three elements: 1. A diagnosis that defines or explains the nature of the challenge. A good diagnosis simplifies the often overwhelming complexity of reality by identifying certain aspects of the situation as critical. 2. A guiding policy for dealing with the challenge. This is an overall approach chosen to cope with or overcome the obstacles identified in the diagnosis. 3. A set of coherent actions that are designed to carry out the guiding policy. These are steps that are coordinated with one another to work together in accomplishing the guiding policy. syPal

Even as a ‘small creator’, this is what keeps me going. 🙏

For anyone else out there, just keep showing up, people notice, even if they don’t often tell you.

Screenshot by Kit Sauder of Sauder Strategy of a Direct Message on Instagram from a follower: “That video funny enough helped me make a decision to not go to a prestigious factual tv conference and instead to double down on my strategy of pivoting to new media and going to a YouTuber conference instead. Was getting distracted by the old path and not fully committing to a new one.” “So thanks!”

For a long time, I couldn’t name my opponent…🥸

Strategy at its core, is about Decisions, and decisions ultimately are about ‘the cutting away of things’.

I heard this quote today & can’t get it out of my head. 📚

“Find what you love & let it kill you.”
~ Charles Bukowski

#Poetry #Stoicism #CharlesBukowski #Inspiration #FounderLife #Entrepreneur #Strategy #Communications #SauderStrategy
“My Dear, Find what you love & let it kill you. Let it drain you of your all. Let it cling onto your back & weigh you down into eventual nothingness. Let it kill you & let it devour your remains. For all things will kill you, both slowly & fastly, but it's much better to be killed by a lover.” ~ Falsely yours Charles Bukowski

“Let July be July,
and let August be August.
And let yourself
just be
even in
the uncertainty.
You don't have to fix everything.
You don't have to solve everything.
And you can still find peace
and grow
in the wild
of changing things.”

How did a coffee table book alter the course of my life? 📚

Sometimes little things, like a gift from a Step Aunt you’d only met 3 times can change your entire trajectory & give you a tool that you use for decades…
