4 Effortless Strategies to Help You Win at Business
Get the Basics…
Know your client’s problems
Don’t rush things by trying to execute too early
Mission-focused management helps your business adapt in a highly volatile market
In a recent team meeting, our CEO shared his notes from Steve Blank‘s book, The Four Steps to the Epiphany: Successful Strategies for Products that Win.
Here’s what stood out to us:
Learn how to focus on clients over the product. In the early stages of a startup, focusing solely on “execution” will put you out of business. Instead, you need a “learning and discovery” process so you can get the company to the point where you know what to execute. These questions MUST be answered as you grow:
It takes time! Startups creating new markets will not create a market of substantial size to generate a profit until three to seven years from product launch.
Practice mission-centric management. Mission-centric management offers the flexibility to deal with rapidly changing situations and exploit fleeting windows of clients and market opportunity. Mission-centric management has five unique parts:
Mission Intention
Employee Initiative
Mutual trust and communication
“Good enough” decision-making
Mission synchronization
Develop “good enough” decision making to keep your company agile. Gen. George Patton said, “A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan next week.”
Have you found yourself sometimes giving in to the temptation to be focused on your product rather than on your clients?

Client Workout Calendar Update
With our client workout calendar update, we have removed the steps required to assign workout plans to clients and start/stop their workout plans.
You can now add workouts directly to your client’s workout calendar, and the workouts will quickly display in the app. To make schedule adjustments, just drag & drop workouts on the calendar as needed!
You can still create workout plans the old way if you’d like, then you can just import the entire plan onto your client’s workout calendar.
These articles will help you get the basics of how workout calendars will work:
Train Anyone, Anywhere in the World.
