Strategy is what you stop doing.
Most owner-led businesses do not have a strategy problem in the way the word is usually meant. They have a sequencing problem. Four good opportunities are open at once, the owner is the only person who can pursue any of them, and so all four move slowly instead of one moving fast.
The pieces here are about that: which constraint is actually binding, what a plan has to contain to survive the first month it meets reality, and why the businesses that compound are usually the ones that said no more often. Blue Mango runs this work as ESAG — Evaluate, Structure, Align, Grow — in that order, because that is the order in which businesses are actually fixed.
