Innovation creates something more for the same price, OR the same for a better price. It means you should constantly create, test, experiment, and improve what you already have….even if it works. It’s a practice and mindset and the key to unlocking the excitement your business needs to attract talent, suppliers, and customers and make it more interesting for you.
This Week@Work there are two things that will determine the future of your business.
1. Attitude – the way we see the world determines whether we see opportunities or risk, whether we embrace change or hide from it.
2. Our actions, specifically our unconscious ones, the habits that have helped us to start, build and grow our companies, may be the same habits that are now holding us back from next level growth
This Week@Work I’m more disillusioned than ever with digital marketing. It’s increasingly a game where you pay to play, and the only ones who seem to win are those with the deepest pockets, and the platforms themselves. What alternatives do we have to woo customers? Could the answer lie in getting to know them better?
This Week@Work, a rusty bike chain made me think of Zig Ziglar, who started out as a door-to-door salesperson.
Zig understood the art of hunting for business, something that most business owners have gotten rusty at since we started to rely on digital media to bring business to our door.
This Week@Work at a large gathering of business owners, the discussion centered on where to find growth in low or no-growth business environments.
Watch as I share three points on what you need to do, and where you need to look to find the opportunities in such circumstances, to get ahead of your competition.
This Week@Work, I facilitated a business battleplan with a room full of warriors, also known as business owners! The discussions about growth reiterated the same three big challenges to growth that I see over and over again, all over the world. Understand them, and build a battleplan to overcome them.
This week@work I met with group of business owners who are deeply passionate about their business and it got me thinking about the difference between purpose and intent.
As a business owner the idealism of our purpose drives us to continue to invest in our businesses day after day after day. But it’s the pragmatism of our intent that is as important if we are to leave a legacy, and to monetise those years of investment, sacrifice and risk.
Watch as I share their story to illustrate the difference between the two
This Week@Work I met with a large construction business who tried to smooth out their lumpy project based revenues by developing an out-of-the-box designer hut solution. Great idea, right? Then why hasn’t worked?
Watch as I share what went wrong and what we can learn from it about staying true to who we serve and how we serve them.
