• strategy is a set of actions that are credible, coherent, and focused on overcoming the biggest hurdles in achieving a particular objective. Let’s break that down: a set of actions: there should be a concrete plan… that are credible and coherent: the plan should make sense and believably accomplish the objective. There should not be conflicting pieces of the plan… and focused on overcoming the biggest hurdle(s): there should be a clear diagnosis of the biggest problem(s) to be solved, and the plan should focus resources towards overcoming those hurdles… in achieving a particular objective: it should be clear what success looks like.

• A sparring partner is somebody who's in the ring with you—throwing blows back and forth.
