Welcome to the 10-minute entrepreneur podcast, intended to equip and encourage business owners

and aspiring entrepreneurs, taught by active business owner, best-selling author, and teacher,

Sean Castrina.

All right, Sean Castrina with the 10-minute entrepreneur podcast.

And we're going to talk about on this podcast is how do you strategically plan?

I'm going to teach you through the strategic planning process, basically the four steps that I use.

This podcast is really like a graduate school in business. I was going to go back to

college. I actually went to graduate school, but I was going to go back to UVA, the Darden

school and get an MBA. And I met one of the professors for lunch, his son and my son played

soccer together. And I shared with him that I wanted to go back for an MBA. He goes Sean you'd lose your mind he said because you've already done it you know we're

you know you've already started countless companies and you have a few very successful

companies you know you just need to kind of pick and choose what you want to learn at this

point but but 80% of what we would teach you you would beat your head against the desk because

you already do desk because you already

do it and you already understand how to do it.

So that's what this podcast is.

And my son is not going to college, okay?

And I can effortlessly afford to send him, but I teach him all these things.

I mentor him and his business partner.

They're both about the same, you know, both the same age, just graduated high school.

And it's kind of exciting.

And I love teaching the different things you need to know to be successful in business.
