Get a grip on what's actually working and what needs course correction. Use data and experiments to make decisions instead of opinions. See how changes in one part of the system affect everything else. Random tactics don't compound, coordinated ones do.
Meet Random Rick, Specialist Steve and Solid Sarah. See three approaches to growth and why only one compounds. Understand the model that shows how improvements multiply. Apply systematic thinking to double revenue.

Without clear strategy, every tactic feels like a guess. Define who you're for, what problem you solve, and how each touchpoint moves them closer to buying. Turn scattered efforts into a coherent system where marketing, sales, and product pull in the same direction.

Strategy without tracking becomes wishful thinking. Build a rhythm that spots problems early, doubles down on what works, and keeps the team aligned on priorities. Turn data into decisions and decisions into momentum.
