Doctor Strategy (www.doctorstrategy.com/) is a new interactive website that is helping people who are starting a new business or have an existing business to obtain free business-strategy advice from Dr. Dan Geller – a leading expert and researcher in the field of strategy planning.

Anyone with a business-strategy question may enter the question on the website and receive an email with a personalized response from Dr. Geller.  The questions and the answers are also posted to the website, where they become part of a knowledge base for viewing by others.

The knowledge base already contains many questions and answers from people across the US and around the world.  The knowledge base is arranged according to the three “Building Blocks” (Vision, Mission and Action) of the Instant Strategist methodology, which was designed by Dr. Geller to help small businesses develop quick and easy strategy plans.

Dr. Geller developed the Doctor Strategy (www.doctorstrategy.com) website as a free service to entrepreneurs, start-ups and small-business owners after his scientific research revealed that 89 percent of small businesses do not engage in strategic planning.

Dr. Geller’s study provides a critical connection between lack of strategic planning and the grim reality of small business failure in the U.S. According to a 2006 report by the US Small Business Administration, 580,400 of the 671,800 businesses that started that year failed, a failure rate of about 87 percent.

One major reason small businesses do not engage in strategic planning is lack of time to devote to planning, especially since traditional strategic planning methodologies, which were designed for very large companies, are complex and time consuming. To help small-business owners practice strategic planning, even though they have very limited time and resources, Dr. Geller developed the Instant Strategist (www.instantstrategist.com/) methodology, which allows one to develop a valid and practical strategic plan in less than eight hours.

Dr. Dan Geller is a renowned expert on strategic planning for small companies. His research, publications, and planning tools have helped tens of thousands of entrepreneurs and small-business owners fulfill their dreams of establishing and growing a successful business.
