Deliver On Your Business is a weekly podcast, however we are in the midst of a 31 day daily series called the 31 Day Courier MBA. Today is Episode 13 and the 6th of 9 episodes on strategy and operations. Each episode will have a blog post associated that will be the same general information, not necessarily a word for word transcript, but if you prefer to read over listening, you can click on links to the episodes. Links are at the bottom of these notes.

As part of the 31 Day Courier MBA series, a lot of earlier episodes provide a foundation on which we build later ideas and concepts. While I try to make each episode stand on its own, It may be useful to start at the beginning, listen to or read on the portions about your busines plan and move from there.

Today's episode page can be found here.
