A strong, coherent strategy lies at the heart of every successful business.
Financial Health lies at the heart of a good strategy.
Without this building block, even the best leader will struggle to steer a true
course towards their vision.
No strategy and you're 'winging it' – you're being opportunistic not strategic.
You can only hope that with luck your business will be successful.
The Leadership building block covers the leadership skills and attributes needed
by you and all of your people.
Without this building block, a strategy will be weak, milestones and targets will
be missed, and the supporting framework will fall apart. The service you provide
will deteriorate and you will spend more and more time fixing issues rather than
keeping your business on course.
The Systems building block supports the other two blocks.
Without this building block, leaders will not have the time and space to step back
and create a good strategy nor check that it is working. They will not be able to
maintain course nor correct deviations from it because they will be spending all
their time in the business and reacting to it.
You need the right systems and processes in place so that your business runs
efficiently and effectively without you in it every day. With a well systemised
business you will be able to step back and be the leader it needs you to be.

Without these 3 building blocks your business foundation will be weak - that is to say, instead of based on certainty and control, it will be based on hope and luck. You can only hope you are doing the right things to run and grow your business and that with luck nothing unexpected will happen that will hurt it.
With this foundation your business is like a stone castle built into a cliff that has withstood the elements for hundreds of years - it's strong enough to weather the storms ahead.
Without this foundation, your business is more like a sandcastle - it's weak and vulnerable and won't last beyond the next incoming tide.
