"What can you do now to INSTANTLY increase profitability of your business?"

Well, answer is surprising simple.

Change your strategy.

Your strategy is master purpose of your business. It's fabric that binds your business systems together and bedrock of your business's entire operating approach.

Here are 5 'instantly deployable' strategies that can take your business to new heights, regardless of what product or service you're selling.

Explosive Strategy #1: Big Picture Awareness

Napoleon Hill listed "Accurate Thought" as one of most important success principles.

Most business owners don't even "think" about their businesses and simply adopt a reactive approach.

The truth is, you can't go anywhere unless you know where you're going.

And frankly, this is why so many businesses out there fail, because they 'know not what they're doing'.

Try this simple exercise to cultivate Big Picture Awareness:

Get a whole bunch of colored pencils and a sketchpad, and start creating a mind map of your business or next project.

You should be able to look at mind map and instantly tell:

. Who's doing what. (For instance, web-design --> Webmaster) . The possible options your 'prospect' will take, and outcomes . Points of upsell, downsell, cross-sell

In short, you should have every single piece of 'puzzle' there.

Objectively, your strategy should bring you most results in shortest period of time on most sustainable basis. Once your master strategy is in place, everything else is merely tactical.

Explosive Strategy #2: Funnel Vision

Most importantly, you'll want to graduate your customer to higher ticket items as it's high octane fuel for business growth.
