Lesson On The Use Of Deception In Business Strategy(From A Movie - And An Ancient Book)If you don't mind I'd like to start this piece with a narrative of the closing stages of an interesting movie I once watched titled TROY. If you do mind, then skip to the next section, as I believe I've put in enough from there to still convey most of my intended message :-).It was intriguing to watch a scene in the movie, where the Greek warriors, led by their famous fighting machine character "Achilles", exploited the somewhat fatalistic and excessively religious mentality of the Trojans. They did this by placing a gigantic wooden gift horse surrounded by corpses of Greek soldiers who looked like they had been afflicted by a strange illness on an open field where it would be easily found by the Trojans. When the Trojan King and his priests saw it, they readily interpreted it(as the Greeks had hoped they would) to mean their gods were at last fighting for them by visiting the strange illness on the Greeks. They believed that was why the Greeks had sent in the gift horse as an offering to appease the god
early define what that future looks like. You do this by traveling forward in time to point B and then looking back on what has transpired to get you there. It is important to write this out, not just think it, to further solidify it in your subconscious mind. This should be in paragraph format and include as much rich detail and as many emotional words as possible.

Just a Series of Choices
Steve’s a pretty regular guy – wife, 4 kids in their blended family, 12+ years of engineering experience, a degree, mortgage, car payments, some debt… and feeling depressed because he waited to look till the end. Last time he transitioned was 5 years ago for more money and he liked some of the people and it was simple…this time he’s heard some in his professional association have been looking for almost a year...and they weren’t lightweights. No wonder he’s sweating.Steve’s wife can’t figure out why he’s so moody and angry…she doesn’t understand that Steve has feelings of rejection from a company he had been loyal to for 5 years. He had poured heart and soul into his projects. Even though he didn’t always agree with his manager’s direction, on a project he shepherded, he had been recognized for achievement. Gosh, only 2 years in and already a rising “star”.In hindsight, Steve saw he had subtly butted heads on how the team was treated by management and that he made suggestions that “his bosses’ way” was backward. Things began to slip. It was more real when he didn’t get a merit raise. He
Where is your business going? You must begin a business with the end in mind. In order to get from point A to point B, must know where both of those points are. If you don’t define the end goal, you have very little hope of ever getting there. Strategy is about planning and defining the straight line between those two points. Rather than taking the scenic route, a good strategy gets you from where you are to where you want to go in the most efficient way possible. You can’t draw that straight line if you haven’t figured out where and what point B is. I find a lot of entrepreneurs try to skip ahead and do marketing for their business before they have defined where their desired end point is. This is impractical and more importantly a mistake that can doom your business’ potential. There are plenty of marketing methods you can utilize. Sure marketing is an important business strategy but what you say, how you say it, and who you say it to, all depend on clearly defining your point B. You can spend your money and your efforts on marketing all day long, but if you don’t know what the goal of these efforts is then that spend can be largely waste. And small businesses do not have room for waste. So what is your vision? Create a clear picture in your mind. You can not acquire what you cannot see. That is why visualization techniques are so effective. Follow our vision formula and your business is sure to flourish.Steve’s a pretty regular guy – wife, 4 kids in their blended family, 12+ years of engineering experience, a degree, mortgage, car payments, some debt… and feeling depressed because he waited to look till the end.
