What’s wrong with your business?
Maybe nothing. I mean it. Maybe nothing at all. Ponder this question, though: What is the center for my business and how does it show? What’s it all about?
What’s wrong with business?
So, the way music is framed is about art, enjoy, amusement, etc. And the way business is framed: profit product growth brand etc. The thing is, none of those are about the customer. Your customers don’t buy because of what your product, your biz or you do (or even why you do it, depending of the need). They buy from you because you solve something for them. And they don’t care how. If they could achieve that very same thing with a AAA battery, a 5-minute writing process, or a complex…
Weekends
As an entrepreneur, business owner, solo consultant… do you work on the weekends?
Stages of risk acceptance
In short: when you have nothing, you try, fail and do whatever it takes to get things moving. That takes you to a place where things in the environment are the status quo and you break it.

I need your help on this one
Have you ever thought of getting to learn an instrument? As an adult now, or even when you were a kid. (Bonus points if you thought of it for a kid of your own or in your closed ones). And if you did, but quite didn’t get to it, mind sharing with me what stopped you from it? I’m participating on a workshop and those insights from you would give me a HUGE hand on what I’m trying to learn here. 🙂 [Not music, btw]. Thanks a ton for reading. And looking forward to hearing back from you. 🙂
