À propos de ce contenu audio

 You’ve already got a Google Drive graveyard filled to the brim with courses and PDFs, get-rich-quick tactics, and other people’s strategies that didn’t live up to the hype. You don’t need another podcast of rags-to-riches stories to inspire you or 7-step frameworks you’ll never implement or expert opinions on what your business needs next from someone who’s never met you. You’ve been taught that knowledge is power and the right piece of information, tactic or trendy strategy might just be the thing that unlocks your growth. What you’re not taught is that after a certain point, all of this information ends up keeping you stuck. Stuck in analysis paralysis, overwhelmed, and decision fatigue. Stuck relying on other people to show you the way. And stuck wading through more tactic-heavy content still looking for answers. Turns out the information and tactics are part of the problem not the solution you were looking for. And, as you’re beginning to suspect, the real key might be less about finding the right answer and more about asking the right questions to unlock the strategy that brings it all together. But when there’s always a fire to put out, a client clamoring for your attention, or a team member who needs help with something, CEO Time always gets pushed to tomorrow's to-do list. And you’re left wondering how those people posting their colorful, post-it-filled whiteboards from cozy strategic planning retreats on the gram find the time to make it work. The reality is the best strategy is often quick and dirty on the back of a bill, napkin, or the margin of a rogue notebook within arm’s reach. After all, it’s meant for your eyes only, not chasing clout on the gram. Big-picture thinking needs to happen in small spaces between delivering a 5* service to your clients, leading your team, and the business of running a business, even if you’ve only got 5 minutes a day. So this podcast is designed to fit into the small spaces and ask those strategic questions to help you find one small idea that could lead to big things for your business in just 5 minutes. Welcome to The 5-minute Strategist. I’m Diane Mayor and I can’t wait to help you see just how strategic you can be in those tiny moments each day. We’re going deep on advanced topics like: • data-driven decision-making • critical thinking • leadership And the art of balance: work-life balance, innovation versus execution, and tactical action with strategic vision. We’ll cover the whole business —from effective sales strategies and marketing campaigns to streamlining operations, building high-performance teams, and making profit and paying yourself consistently. Whether you're sipping your morning coffee or gearing up for the day’s challenges, grab a daily dose of strategy and get growing with The 5-Minute Strategist.Copyright 2025 Diane Mayor Direction Economie Management Management et direction

    • Your Small Why

      Your Small Why
      Oct 15 2024

      If all you want to do once you hit that big revenue goal you're chasing is shut the business down, that doesn't seem like the best use of the time, money, and energy it will take for you to get there.

      Takeaways:

      • Building a sustainable business requires balancing financial success with personal fulfillment and energy.
      • Recognizing personal motivations for starting a business is crucial for long-term perseverance.
      • Aligning your business goals with your core values avoids friction in daily operations.
      • Embracing change as an opportunity helps entrepreneurs adapt and innovate despite market fluctuations.
      • Continuous learning and personal development keep entrepreneurs engaged and prevent burnout over time.
      • Setting operational and personal growth goals alongside revenue targets ensures a fulfilling business journey.

    • The Most Underutilized System In Most Small Businesses

      The Most Underutilized System In Most Small Businesses
      Oct 14 2024

      In the words of Inigo Montoya, "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." When you realize your CRM is a system, not a software, it becomes infinitely more valuable.

      Takeaways:

      • A CRM should encompass the entire customer journey, not just email marketing.
      • It's essential to track all connections with potential leads, regardless of source.
      • Many businesses overlook the data their CRM can provide beyond simple email engagement.
      • Using a simple system like Google Sheets can be more effective than complex software.
      • Understanding customer lifetime value is crucial for refining your CRM strategy.
      • Most existing CRM systems fail to capture the full range of customer interactions.
