In this video, Entrepreneur Network partner Patrick Bet-David discusses the importance of strategizing as an entrepreneur and how you can get started.

The key to entrepreneurial success is strategy. As an entrepreneur or as a CEO, Bet-David explains, there are four things you are likely doing: working on your next campaign, developing those around you, improving your operating system or doing business development and sales. Bet-David creates a quadrant for these things and explains the importance of each and their relationships to one another.

When it comes to working on your next innovative campaign, Bet-David means planning ahead. Whether the holidays are in sight or there is an event coming up in the near-future, you should always be planning ahead. This will help you beat the competition, too.
