Marketing- Strategy vs. Plan- Both Are Crucial

Why Strategy Isn’t Enough

Marketing strategy is the foundation—it’s the why and what. Without a plan, however, you could never know the how and when. And there’s no way to make progress or measure results, without execution.

How to Make Sense of the Chaos: A Guide to Planning and Patience

Marketing is not an overnight success. It’s about setting a protocol, following through, and allowing time for it to work. That means:

Timelines: When this shit is actually going to happen.

Deadlines: Keeping you accountable for the plan.

Deadlines: The art of time management.

Consistency: Giving things time to play out so that you can actually measure results.

It feels productive to jump from one idea to another, but it’s spinning wheels. Having a clear plan and executing it properly isn’t optional — it’s essential.

The Lesson

No matter how brilliant the strategy, without patience, structure and trust in the process, a plan will fail. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. You have to buy into the plan, you have to run with it, and you have to allow the results to take care of themselves.

To all who think that strategy will suffice—wrong. The magic is when strategy, plan, and execution are simpatico!!!!!
