Back to Fundamentals :post by Monica O’brien
Getting back to blogging is not as easy as I thought. Not only I stopped writing, but also I stopped reading any of the blogs I used to read. I don’t even remember what blogs I read. This is how much the job pre-occupied me for the past two years.
I really liked today’s post on ProBlogger by Monica O’brien who manages Twenty Set. Which is a blog I am going to include in my blogroll, since it is still pretty empty. I learned from it that I am part of millenials, and I all my life I felt like I am not alone
I am not sure if Monica has business degree, but she covered all the fundamentals of business strategy:
1) Figure out your strategy to compete: there are only few of them (differentiation, low cost provider, best type provider)
2) Identify the environment: customers, competition and the demand, swot analysis
3) Develop your marketing plan
4) Set achievable and measurable goals and go ahead with implementing your plan.
I thinkMonice and I just recapped for myself what should I do with my new idea of starting a business. Research, plan and implement! I am slowly recovering from 9-5 …

Yeah, I’m an MBA candidate. You can read more about it on Twenty Set. Good luck with blogging stuff! I answered your question in the Problogger comments.
