I’d be the first to admit that Relish started without a real plan.
Nearly 16 years ago, four fellas came together with a shared passion for helping others achieve greatness and an aptitude for marketing to create Relish Studio.
We didn’t have a solid mission. We didn’t discuss core values. We didn’t start with strategy.
And (at least since I am still talking about Relish today), that seems to have worked.
However, managing to get somewhere is not the ideal way to run a business.
We have meandered far and wide during the last 16 years.
Had we started with strategy, we might have gotten here a lot faster.
See, starting with strategy creates a roadmap for your success.
Sure, you’ll change direction along your journey (and that’s why we recommend revisiting your “Why” on a regular basis).
But when you start with strategy, you have a much greater chance to get where you are hoping to go.
Most of us wouldn’t start a road trip without a destination in mind and a plan for how to get there.
Why would you run your business without a plan?
Here’s the deal…
It’s not too late to revisit your strategy.

Strategy First is the ideal way to get going. But Strategy Now is a close second.
