398. Execution

Move quickly and decisively and boldly once you have decided on a course of action but do not move at all until you have a very clear set of outcomes an goals fully formed in your mind. Once you have embarked on a course of action do not cease in your efforts until you have achieved your results. Then immediately set about consolidation. i.e. make the most of what you have achieved. Once you have consolidated, begin on a course of gradual organised expansion. Do not over-extend yourself as this will expose your weaknesses to your enemies.
