Say thanks and learn more about our podcast sponsor Omnisend. I sat down with Brian Coords to dive into WordPress 6.7 and specifically the new Twenty Twenty-Five default theme. While 6.7 might not seem like a groundbreaking release at first glance, it's laying important groundwork with features like block bindings and improvements to the block editor. Brian and I had an interesting discussion about the Twenty Twenty-Five theme's minimalist approach and how it differs from Twenty Twenty-Four in terms of default homepage layouts and patterns.What really caught my attention was our conversation about the evolving WordPress landscape, particularly how AI tools are changing the game for web development. Brian made a great point about how AI isn't necessarily going to replace developers, but it's dramatically reducing the time from idea to MVP (Minimum Viable Product). This led us into a deeper discussion about WordPress's role in an increasingly AI-powered world and whether the open-source argument will remain as compelling when people can quickly build solutions using AI and proprietary platforms.We wrapped up with some thoughts on the future of social media, RSS feeds, and the importance of owning your content - themes that continue to be relevant in our WordPress community even as new platforms emerge.## Key Takeaways for WordPress Professionals- WordPress 6.7 introduces block bindings, allowing blocks to pull data from custom fields (though currently requiring code to implement)- Twenty Twenty-Five theme takes a more minimal approach compared to Twenty Twenty-Four, focusing on photography and artistic content- New preference toggle allows users to disable the pattern suggestions popup when creating new pages- Theme switching between Twenty Twenty-Four and Twenty Twenty-Five isn't seamless - expect to rebuild content- The Patterns UI in WordPress could benefit from improvements in discoverability and organization- AI tools are changing how quickly people can build MVPs, potentially affecting WordPress's market position## Important URLs & Resources- WordPress Playground: https://playground.wordpress.net- Brian's YouTube channel: @BrianCoords - WP Minute subscribe page: https://wpminute.com/subscribe ★ Support this podcast ★

Powiadają, że zrobione jest lepsze od doskonałego. W świecie start-upów popularna jest strategia MVP (Minimum Viable Product). Polega ona na tym, aby szybko wprowadzić produkt na rynek, zbierając przy tym informacje zwrotne od klientów. Dzięki temu można ocenić, jak produkt jest odbierany, jakie są reakcje użytkowników, co trzeba poprawić lub zmienić. O tym, jak dobrze przeprowadzić MVP, dlaczego czasem warto celować w lokalny, a nie globalny rynek, a także o tym, jak orientować się w problemach klientów, rozmawiają Bartek Pucek i Jarosław Kuźniar. Punktem wyjścia do rozmowy jest m.in. książka "Metoda Lean Startup. Wykorzystaj innowacyjne narzędzia i stwórz firmę, która zdobędzie rynek" Erica Riesa.

In this solocast of the DealQuest Podcast, I dive into the potential hazards of focusing too much on raising capital for your business. While securing funding can be crucial, it's essential to ensure it doesn't detract from your core business activities and growth strategies.This episode is packed with insights for entrepreneurs and business leaders who are considering or currently engaged in fundraising efforts. I share critical considerations on how to balance the pursuit of capital with the actual development and strategic execution of your business. EVALUATE YOUR INDUSTRY AND DEVELOPMENT STAGE When considering raising capital, it's crucial to conduct thorough research into the funding history of your industry. Some sectors have well-established funding pathways and are more attractive to investors due to historical performance and growth potential. For example, technology and healthcare often have robust investment histories, while niche markets may struggle to attract the same level of interest. Understanding where your industry stands can significantly impact your strategy and help you identify the best approach for seeking investment.In addition to researching your industry, you need to assess your company's development stage. Early-stage companies typically need to provide more proof of concept to entice investors. This might include developing a successful MVP (Minimum Viable Product) that demonstrates your product's viability and market potential. Investors want to see tangible evidence that your business model works and that there is demand for your product or service. This proof of concept can be a critical factor in securing funding. TIMING AND COST OF EARLY CAPITAL Securing early-stage capital often comes at a high cost, requiring you to give up a larger equity share in your company. This can be a tough decision, as giving away too much equity early on might limit your control and future earnings. It's essential to weigh the immediate benefits of securing capital against the long-term costs. Will the funding help you scale quickly enough to offset the loss of equity? Carefully consider how much equity you are willing to part with and at what valuation.Pitching to investors, especially at an early stage, can be a valuable learning experience. However, it's vital to ensure that you are genuinely ready for this step. Pitching too early can lead to unfavorable terms, such as investors demanding a significant equity stake for relatively small amounts of capital. This can also be a time-consuming process that might distract you from developing your product or service. Therefore, it's crucial to balance the benefits of early-stage pitching with the readiness of your company to handle investor scrutiny and demands. IDENTIFY THE RIGHT INVESTORS Evaluating whether your company is suitable for raising funds from friends and family is another critical step. Friends and family rounds can be a viable source of early-stage funding, especially if your personal network is willing and able to invest in your venture. However, not everyone has access to this type of capital, and mixing personal relationships with business can sometimes lead to complications. It's essential to ensure that both parties are clear about the risks and expectations involved.If friends and family funding isn't an option, your next focus should be on attracting professional angel investors. Angel investors typically look for companies with some level of traction and growth potential. This means you'll need to show evidence of your company's progress, such as user metrics, revenue growth, or strategic partnerships. Demonstrating your ability to achieve milestones can make your company more appealing to these seasoned investors who are looking for promising opportunities with the potential for significant returns. EVALUATE FUNDING SUCCESS BEYOND RAISING CAPITAL How you deploy the funds is critical to your company's success. Simply securing investment does not guarantee that your business will thrive. It's important to have a clear plan for how you will use the capital to achieve your strategic goals. Look at other companies that have raised funds successfully and analyze their use of capital. Learn from their successes and failures to avoid common pitfalls and maximize the impact of your funding.Additionally, consider the long-term implications of early funding. While early-stage investment can provide the necessary resources to accelerate growth, it can also come with strings attached, such as stringent performance expectations from investors. Analyze whether early-stage funding helped or hindered other companies in the long run. Did it lead to sustainable growth, or did it put undue pressure on the founders? Use these insights to inform your own strategy and make more informed decisions about when and how to seek investment. UNDERSTAND THE FUNDING ENVIRONMENT The availability and flow of capital can fluctuate based on broader economic trends. For example, during economic downturns, investors may become more cautious and selective about where they put their money. Conversely, in a booming economy, there may be more capital available, but also more competition for investment. Understanding these trends will help you time your funding efforts effectively and approach the right investors at the right time.In addition to economic conditions, keep an eye on trends within your industry. Certain sectors may be more attractive to investors at different times due to emerging technologies, regulatory changes, or shifts in consumer behavior. Being aware of these trends can help you position your company more favorably and increase your chances of securing investment. For example, if there is a growing interest in sustainable products, companies in the green tech sector might find it easier to attract funding.ALGIN WITH BUSINESS OBJECTIVESSeeking capital should support your strategic goals, not distract from them. Ensure that the pursuit of investment is in line with your vision for the company and that it helps you achieve your long-term objectives. This alignment will help you stay focused and make more strategic decisions about your business growth.Finally, be realistic about your company's readiness for funding. Assess whether your company is truly prepared to seek investment and what type of funding is most appropriate. Not all businesses are ready for venture capital, and for some, bootstrapping or smaller, incremental investments might be a better fit. Honest self-assessment will help you avoid the pitfalls of seeking capital prematurely and ensure that you are making the best choices for your company's growth and sustainability.Tune into Episode 309 - Solocast 69 to uncover how to avoid common pitfalls and make informed decisions about capital and growth. I provide a comprehensive look at how to balance capital raising with effective business management.

THE Leadership Japan Series by Dale Carnegie Training Tokyo, Japan
APAC always ranks low in global engagement surveys. At the very bottom of the APAC calculation sits Japan. Part of the reasons are language and cultural. The translations from English can sometimes be off the mark and lead the Japanese to score lower. I always recommend carefully checking the translations to try to tighten them up and make the meanings clearer. Other hurdles can be cultural. One question often asked is “would you recommend the company to your family and friends as a place to work”. This is a straightforward question in most countries, but not in Japan. The sense of responsibility and accountability here is high and those taking the survey will answer this question with a low score. It isn't because they don't like the company, but they are risk averse. They worry if they recommend the company, their family or friends may complain to them and quit the company because it is not a match. Alternatively, they worry the company will complain to them about the person they recommended. They see no upside here and so the best course of action is to score low on this question. There is hope, though, to see those scores go up. They may never reach the zenith of your Brazilian or Indian colleagues, who always seem to shoot the lights out when answering these engagement surveys. There are three leverage points for gaining greater engagement amongst employees. 1. Relationship With the Supervisor This is obvious as it covers one of the most high contact relationships inside the company and, as we say, we don't quit companies – we quit bosses. Has the leader made clear the purpose of the business? This is often assumed to be understood, so there is no conversation on this point. Let's not assume anything and make it clear. The goals and objectives are critical to the organisation's success, so let's make sure we keep repeating what they are. The leader's job is to understand how the staff feel about their work and the company, and the only way to do that is through conversation. Sounds simple except that time is so limited and we are all cutting corners and being “efficient” with our time, which means not a lot of opportunity to ask staff about how they are feeling. Taking orders from the boss makes for a dull day and a dull work environment. Not many people want to be micro-managed that way. As the leader, we need to give people direction and the freedom to decide how to achieve the goals. 2. Confidence In Senior Leadership Business is a cutthroat struggle for survival. In the days of sail, everyone entrusted their lives to the skill, knowledge and experience of the captain to deliver them safely to their destination. In 1834, my ancestors sailed for months across the raging seas from Bristol to Tasmania. Luckily they made it or I wouldn't be here writing this blog. Today, our sailing ships have been replaced with company formats to make sure our job security and therefore our livelihoods are protected and made safe. Do the big bosses walk the talk about the values they promulgate? Are they communicating changes and constantly reinforcing the purpose? Do we feel like cogs in the wheel as the organisation grinds out shareholder value and enriches the bosses? Or do we feel valued as a priority in the success of the enterprise? Are they competent enough to make sure the company can survive and even better prosper so that we have career opportunities to grow and flourish? If the answers to these fundamental questions are not positive, then our people will not be engaged and, in fact, may be actively seeking greener pastures. 3. Pride in the Organisation In Japan, when people think about joining a company or changing companies, their spouse, parents, in-laws and grandparents will all have opinions about the decision. This becomes even more important as a consideration when we are talking about foreign enterprises. The gold standard are the biggest, safest Japanese companies, then comes the less big, but still safe middle size Japanese companies and bringing up the rear are the foreign companies. Knowing this, as leaders we have to work hard to make sure everyone is motivated and proud to work in our organisation. Purpose has to be stressed over and over to smooth out the bumps which confront every company. The public persona pf the company has to be one of a good citizen adding value to Japan. Japanese staff are very focused on their relationship with customers and the company has to respect that. Foreign based CFOs come up with crazy ideas which destroy that trust. A common idea is that if we have a 100% no defect rate, we will make less profit than if we tolerated a 3% defect rate, so let's go for the money. This is abhorrent to Japanese staff and is a huge demotivator. The MVP (Minimum Viable Product) idea may be popular in Silicon Valley ,but it doesn't have a place in Japan because the buyers expect it to work perfectly and completely from the get go. Japan is different in many ways and engagement of employees is certainly one area of prominence. We can improve the engagement scores, if we know what we are doing and can consistently execute on the basics.

This week, Dan Neumann and Justin Thatil are joined by Erik Lindgren to discuss the concepts of MVP (Minimum Viable Product) and MMP (Minimum Marketable Product) and the differences between them. In this episode, they explore an example of a successful brand that started the simplest way possible and became a multimillion-dollar success a decade later! Key Takeaways Erik shares the story of Honest Tea, which grew into a multimillion-dollar company. They started with the MVP (making tea at Eric's home to sell later), and ten years later, Coca-Cola bought forty percent for forty-three million dollars. What is the simplest way to get to the market fast? Start with the minimum to get on the market and test your idea. It is crucial to shift from an existing platform to a new one with the minimum risk possible. What is the difference between MVP and MMP? MVP: We are unsure if there is a market for this product, who will buy it, and how they will respond to it; for that, you put together a business hypothesis. MMP: What is something that the market will really adopt broadly? There is a considerable risk in taking the Big Bang approach to a project. An integrative and incremental approach seems more effective than redoing the entire ERP system before going live. Grow a system organically instead of trying to do it all at once. A team must ensure they know whom they are solving a problem for to focus£ on what matters most.

In this episode, John asks subject matter expert Zack Oliver, owner of MatchPoint Connection, to educate listeners about NILs. Zack's company, an innovator in this NIL space, is a trusted marketplace for bringing athletes together with brands. NIL, which is a newer buzzword in college sports, stands for “Name, Image and Likeness,” which is used in brand marketing, bringing new opportunities for college athletes to make money. The market is taking off as a result of a July, 2021 ruling by the NCAA, allowing student athletes to get compensated, based on deliverables. The ruling was expanded in 2022 to allow students to work with donors and alumni of schools through charity, tailgating and other events to get compensated for their appearances and use of NILs. John calls Zack “a genius” for his expertise, yet he also makes it clear he is not one of the early investors. He chose Zack as a guest to educate listeners, based on how articulate and solid he is, based on thorough research John conducted. Topics covered in this interview:–John's entrepreneurial side hustle in college as owner of his “Star 69” events promotion business, and how challenging it was to make money as a college athlete back then, when restrictions limited time working to breaks and summers off. –Transfer portals, (where college athletes can change schools) were “a mess” this year, with the largest amount of transfers of all time, according to Zack. –The start of MatchPoint Connection, which is both a mobile and web “app” based on: An algorithm matching businesses to student athletes based on mutual interests, social media following and locations. Chats and transactions are also integrated on the app. The tech developers are in the US, which is important for their understanding of the American sports culture. It aggregates the entire influencer relationship, using Zack's skills as a former trader for CitiCorp to know how to match businesses to sellers (in this case, athletes). The company launched its MVP (Minimum Viable Product) in April, 2021, and has grown to solidify “a good stake” in the South–Alabama, LSU, and Arkansas to name a few. It has also signed its first exclusive deal with a 5-Star athlete who is now in high school. The financing behind the company and its long-term plans. –The future of NIL-related businesses, with a lot of consolidations expected in the next five years due to the number of emerging competitors. –The importance of finding a way to teach these young athletes financial literacy, a concern of John's, so they do not lose all of what they earned quickly. Zack notes that many are 1099 employees who are not always prepared to save for taxes. They can even be unaware that a car given to them is a taxable asset. About Zack Oliver: In addition to co-founding MatchPoint Connection, Zack is co-founder of Oliver Investment Group in New York, NY. Zack has both a B.A. and M.S. degree from Northwestern University. He was a Volunteer Group Leader for 3.5 years at Uplifting Athletes, creating football drills for more than 200 young athletes to improve their football fundamentals.

There was a time where you could push out a really crappy product with a bunch of bugs just to demonstrate a key feature or two. Millions of dollars have been raised on MVP (Minimum Viable Product) with heavy emphasis on "Minimum". Not today. And, it's not just investors that will demand you have a better product. Customers just don't have the patience. You don't have to be all things to all people, but you do have to do something really, really well. We break it down this week. Before we dig into that concept we look at yet another effort by Apple to get employees back in the office, and the effort by those employees to do anything but that.And, if you're feeling feisty, you can weigh in on Ed's question about Gmail's conversation feature.

THE Sales Japan Series by Dale Carnegie Training Tokyo, Japan
Many years ago, my job was to help Australian companies crack the Japanese market. One of the elements of that job was explaining the Japanese business psyche to the Australian businesspeople targeting Nippon. As you might imagine this wasn't an easy task, as the mindsets are so different. White colonisation of Australia started in the late 1700s and the first convicts and settlers arrived into a vast continent, without one permanent structure, bridge, road or port. Aboriginal life was nomadic. Hunt everything you can in the area around you, then pack everything up and move to the next location. You didn't need modern infrastructure for that lifestyle. The consequence has been that the culture built up amongst the early English settlers was very much one of “can do” and optimism that they could tame the heat, droughts, fires, cyclones and floods that are part and parcel of life in Australia. Six generations ago, my ancestors hacked their way through the bush by hand, to create fields for agriculture and to feed the cattle and sheep. If you couldn't take it, you could always go back to Mother England. Japan is a also country with no shortage of natural calamities. Earthquakes trigger fires in cities and wooden houses burn quickly. They also trigger tsunami and these can wipe out entire towns, as we have seen in 2011. Typhoons and floods destroy crops and building. Floods and landslides are common. My super wealthy, famous Japanese friend was walking his dog after heavy rain and a wall suddenly collapsed and killed him. Japan has volcanos as well and recently the well known Sakurajima volcano has had a major eruption. This tough environment is part and parcel of Japan and there is no Mother England to retreat to – this is it for the Japanese population. The mindset of the Japanese in my experience is one of the glass is half-empty and life is difficult. When I was trying to explain the different attitude between the Aussie glass half full and the Japanese glass half empty approach, I found a useful comparison. I discovered a graph showing the degrees of business optimism in Australia spread over many years. Fundamentally the Aussies were positive and optimistic. Japan has regular tankan surveys of business optimism and fundamentally the Japanese scores are usually negative or very low in terms of positivity. When you compare the graphs, the results are strikingly different. Historically, when a person working the land in Australia needed to replace an implement, there would be a six month turn around, as the sailing ship went off to Merry Old England and then sailed back with the replacement. In the interim, people became innovative and flexible about finding a solution. It created a “can do” mindset, because there was no choice. So having these problem solving, positive, “can do” Aussies convincing Japanese buyers to start relying on them was a huge job. I would show them the graph of how basically for the Japanese the glass was always half-empty and so the Aussies should curb their enthusiasm and approach the sale in a different way. This is a generalisation and it doesn't make it any less true, but Australia is a country of creating things out of nothing and finding solutions and Japan is more one of caution. Once you understand that the Japanese are not expecting anything spectacular to happen and are more concerned about things going horribly wrong, then you focus on reducing risk, rather than trumpeting your capability and your successes. This is where track record, data and “smarts” about doing business in Japan come in. Japan is a graveyard for MVP (Minimum Viable Product) launches. The product has to be working extremely well, with no defects or problems. If it has any of these issues, the situation becomes problematic very quickly. Similarly, early adopters in business are a small crowd here. Basically, in business, nobody wants to go first. “You trial it, we will watch very, very carefully and if it doesn't blow up, we may take a look at it” is the usual ethos. Note the word “may”, because even if it goes well, they may not take any action. You don't get into trouble in a Japanese company for not being a path finder. Steady as she goes is preferred to anything smacking of risk taking. When things go wrong in Australia, then the suppler gets to work to fix it and if some money needs to change hands as a result, then it gets done and everyone moves forward. In Japan, you have to fix it, but that isn't where it ends. You have to head around there to apologise in person, bearing gifts and expect to be lambasted for your poor reliability and shoddy work. You also have to have forensic detail concerning why this problem occurred in the first place and a detailed, clear plan of making sure it never happens again. Even then you may be removed as a supplier, especially so if you are not genuinely contrite and authentic in your remorse, for having caused the buyer problems. Never forget, your buyer has their own buyers. If your problem got shared with their part of the food chain, then you have endangered their trust with their own clients. This is the most disgraceful and egregious error you can make for any Japanese company who values their reputation and they all value their reputation. Approach the deal with a solid understanding the Japanese side isn't going to get excited about your widget and that they are world champion sceptics. Emphasise the track record, safeguards, measurement systems, quality control and the worst case scenario plan of action. Expect to start small, in order to prove what you say is true. Keep in mind that apart from you, no one is in a hurry to do the deal and so adjust your expectations accordingly
LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman once said, “If you're not embarrassed by your first iteration, you launched too late.” Many founders make the mistake of investing a great deal of time and effort into perfecting their product before launching, only to realize that nobody cares about it. So how do you avoid the same mistake? First, you must validate your assumptions in the least expensive way possible. That's where the MVP (Minimum Viable Product) comes in. Piyush Pamecha joins Patrick in today's episode to discuss the fundamentals of building a successful MVP.

Yaniv Sneor, co-founder of the Mid Atlantic Bio Angels (MABA), a life science angel investor group, joins Karen Rands on The Compassionate Capitalist Show to discuss the purpose and process of the investor network. The life cycle and milestones used to measure progress and assess risk of Life Sciences companies as an early stage, pre-revenue company, are different than tech or consumer product companies. Often there isn't a tangible MVP (Minimum Viable Product), a prototype, or a beta to validate that the innovation works. Yet MABA seems to have broken the code and figured out how to evaluate, invest, and create a return on investment in the biomed, med tech, life sciences segment. Investors committed to bringing bio and medical innovations to the market are the minority in the broad scope of angel investors and angel investor groups. Learning from those investors that have figured out how to invest wisely and profiably in this complex sector is incredibly valuable. Yaniv and Karen talk about: - Key Milestones to consider that reduce inherent risk - Importance of getting to exit without VC money - How MABA offers Direct Investment and SideCar "Index" Fund Yaniv has held every C-level position and led his companies through merger, acquisition, capitalization, and turnaround leadership with companies ranging from start-up to growth stage. Mr. Sneor is also currently the CEO of Native State Therapeutics, an early state biotechnology company in the neurodegeneration field.

How resilient is your recruitment business? What will you do the next time there's a financial crisis, like we experienced in 2020? In this interview, my guest Lauren Stiebing describes the experience of her pipeline evaporating in March 2020. She goes on to reveal how she used that setback as an opportunity to create new service offerings that complimented her core business. Best of all, the new Mentoring program she developed aligned with her passion for and commitment to championing gender diversity. Could you recession-proof your recruitment business by creating multiple revenue streams? Listen-in to Lauren describing her process for researching the market, creating a “minimum viable product” and sales strategy leading to a very successful launch. She also shares how she uses “video sales letters” as part of her fresh and innovative approach towards marketing. Episode Outline and Highlights [02:50] Behind the scenes of a podcast and overcoming nerves. [03:50] What happened at LS International in the last two years? [06:45] Don't panic! Lauren's key lessons learned during this period. [11:03] Had no searches to work on, so she used the downtime to develop a new service offering [12:22] How the need for female talent in leadership roles led to a new venture [16:04] Find out how creating an MVP (Minimum Viable Product) can prevent paralysis by analysis to stop you from proceeding on a new venture [20:03] Lauren shares why they are not planning to grow the mentoring business too quickly [22:50] There is value in taking a step back from your network and seeing with whom you can partner for future ventures [24:30] What did the marketing process look like and how did Lauren include selling through teaching? [25:57] What is a “video sales letter” and why should you create one? [31:33] What is the value of a landing page? [36:50] Change required that Lauren steps out of her comfort zone, what did she learn from this? [40:00] How to use podcasts to your advantage to build trust with your audience [42:45] Can you hire less experienced recruiters and develop them successfully? Female Mentorship - Answering a Need In the Market When the pandemic hit in March 2020, Lauren suddenly had no searches to work on. She was coming off a record year and had money in the bank, so at first she didn't panic. But as the months went by without any signs of improvement, she realized she had to try something new. “Always analyzing the market, analyzing what is happening and when you see a gap or a need, to really create a minimal viable product and see how the client reacts,” is how Lauren describes her process for developing a new service offering. What Lauren realized is that there was a need for mentorships for female executives. Her clients often struggled to recruit female talent into leadership roles. So rather than recruiting outside talent, companies should invest to develop and advance their own female employees so they could promote them internally. This is how LS Elevate, Lauren's mentorship program came into existence. Her initial goal was to sell 10 mentorship programs in the first year. However, the sales and marketing campaign exceeded her expectations and she ended up selling 27 - more than double her original target. Now, in the second year of the program, she is ready to expand but is cautious about growing too quickly. She would rather enjoy sustainable, long-term growth instead of over-extend herself. Especially since her search business has picked up again. Podcasts Are The Perfect Way to Present Yourself As An Authority Lauren has published roughly 60 podcasts and states that these podcasts play a vital role to earn the trust of potential clients and candidates. When she already has a rapport with these people when they meet for the first time, it makes discussions and negotiations so much easier. Lauren is also committed to constantly trying out new and different marketing ideas to see what delivers the best results. One of her most effective marketing strategies are “video sales letters.” In this interview, she shares all you need to know to create your first video sales letter. Plans for Growth and Hiring for Attitude Over Experience Lauren is growing her team once again and I asked what she looks for in a potential hire. She believes that “learning, agility, and curiosity are what is going to make someone successful.” comes Lauren's words infused by her own experiences and the many mistakes she made as a young recruiter. Lauren is highly committed to the learning and development of her team and wishes for them to step outside of their comfort zones and to explore wider horizons on the constant journey of self-improvement.

Analyze the market for your business.U: Understand your Avatar (your client). Make sure your product/service is something that your client wants.N: Navigate: How are you setting up your company legally?C: Consult: Consult with a coach, mentor, CPA, attorney and get your questions answered to make sure your business is growable, scalable, and more.H: Hedge: Hedge your risk! Your Accounts that you should pay into in order to level up:Being Account – attitudes, beliefs, emotions, patterns of behavior. Get your mindset right. Meditations, visualisations and affirmations are important.Energy Account – Mind and body are connected. Look after your physical health. Drink water, have a good diet and exercise.Love Account – Not just your relationships with others, but self-love and -care, whatever that means for you, preferably alone.Impact Account – Business, brand, how you show up in your community. If you do the other three accounts right, they’ll overflow into your Impact Account. Energy can’t be destroyed only transferred. KEY TAKEAWAYS I wanted more freedom in my life and felt like I needed more freedom. I hit a glass ceiling when applying to C-Suite positions, despite having an MBA. Then my husband walked out on me and my three young children. Then I met my mentor and he said if you don’t invest in yourself how can you expect anyone to invest in you? That’s when things really changed for me. I invested thousands of dollars in mentorships and mastermind courses and found that the problem was how I chose to view things in my mind and the power was already inside me to succeed. Then it became my mission to share the power of mindset with every person I can. In order for you to really be successful, it needs to have a deeper meaning for you, you can have all the accolades hanging on your wall, but if you don’t love it, there’s still going to be an empty space inside of you. What is your ‘why’? What do you love? Launch an MVP (Minimum Viable Product), let people experiment with your product/service and they can give feedback on what they like and what they don’t about it. That’s valuable feedback on where you can use to improve your business before you spend too much money on your business/product and you know which direction to go.

در فصل ۱.۵ از پادکست ۱۰ صبح، بطور کلی دربارهی مدل کسب و کار صحبت میکنیم.در اغلب متنها و کتابهای استارتاپی، فرض بر این بوده که استارتاپ قرار است محصولش را به مشتریهای معمولی (و نه سازمانی یا دولتی) بفروشد؛ غافل از اینکه کار کردن در فضای سازمانی، یعنی توجه به هزار نکتهی باریکتر ز مو! به عبارت دیگر، هرچند اسماش همه جا مدل کسب و کار (یا همان بیزینس مدل) است، اما وقتی قرار است در مورد یک محصول سازمانی طراحی و اجرا شود، قضیه خیلی فرق میکند.در این قسمت مدلهای کسب و کار B2X (سازمان به سازمان و سازمان به دولت) و تفاوت آنها با مدلهای کسب و کار B2C بررسی شدهاند. اگر استارتاپی دارید که محصول یا خدمت آن برای ارائه به سازمانها طراحی شده یا سازمانها (و دولت) میتوانند مشتری آن باشند، به شما اکیداً توصیه میکنیم شنیدن این قسمت نه چندان کوتاه را از دست ندهید! برخی اصطلاحات به کار برده شده در پادکست (پرسونا، انواع شرکت، Air BNB، B2B2C و …) هم با همکاری دوستانمان در سایت خوب اصفهان پلاس در قالب آیتمهایی در پادکست توضیح داده شدهاند. در قسمتهای بعد دربارهی طراحی مدل کسب و کار بیشتر میشنوید.این قسمت حاوی مطالب کلیدی در ارتباط با موضوعات زیر است و توصیه میکنیم آن را تا انتها گوش دهید:- انواع مدلهای کسب و کار بر اساس مشتریانی که به آنها خدمات ارائه میشود کدام است؟- چرا مهم است که مشتریان خود را بشناسیم؟- مشتری شخصی و مشتری سازمانی چه تفاوتهایی را در مدل کسب و کار ما میتواند ایجاد کند؟- شحصیتواره (پرسونا) چیست و چگونه به خلق ارزش در کسب وکار کمک میکند؟- مشتری و کاربر چه تفاوتهایی با هم دارند؟- چرا برای ارائهی خدمات بهتر به مشتری سازمانی، لازم است فرآیندهای تصمیمگیری در آن سازمان را بشناسیم؟- بازاریابی در کسب و کارهای B2B و B2C چه تفاوتی با هم دارد؟- شبکهسازی در کسب و کارهای B2B و B2G چگونه می تواند کمککننده باشد؟و در آخر بشنوید که چطور لازم است که مدیران سازمان مشتریتان را متقاعد کنید که بهبودی که محصول یا خدمت شما ایجاد میکند، منجر به بازگشت سرمایه خواهد شد!کلمات کلیدی: مدل کسب و کار، کسب و کار بی تو بی، کسب و کار بی تو سی، کسب و کار بی تو جی، کمینه محصول پذیرفتنی (ام وی پی)، استارتاپ ناب، شخصیت واره، بخش بندی مشتری (بازار)، مشتری (بازار) هدف، فریمیومKeywords: Business Model, B2B (Business to Business), B2C (Business To Customer), B2G (Business To Government), MVP (Minimum Viable Product), Lean Startup, Persona, Customer (Market) Segmentation, Target Customer (Market), Freemium See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
در قسمت صفر فصل اول، دربارهی این صحبت میکنیم که اصولاً «استارتاپ» چی هست و از آن مهمتر، چی نیست!خیلی از مباحث بعدی پادکست ۱۰ صبح دربارهی استارتاپهاست و مهم است بدانیم دربارهی چه موجودی صحبت میکنیمچرا قسمت «صفر»؟ چون کسی که میداند استارتاپ چی هست (و چی نیست!) شاید نیازی به گوش دادن این اپیزود نداشته باشد؛ هرچند شنیدناش را به همه توصیه میکنیم.این قسمت صفرم است ولی تمام ابهامات زیر را که زیربنای قسمتهای بعدی است را پاسخ میدهد:- اصلاً چرا مهم است بدانیم که یک کسب و کار استارتاپ است یا نه؟- ویژگی متمایز کنندهی یک استارتاپ با یک کسب و کار کوچک چیست؟- چطور میتوان کسب و کار موجود را به استارتاپ تبدیل کرد؟- پیادهسازی ایدههای موفق خارجی در داخل هم استارتاپ محسوب میشود؟- آیا خود سرمایهگذارهای خطرپذیر هم میتوانند استارتاپ باشند؟- استارتاپ بودن یا نبودن یک کسب و کار صفر و یک است یا یک طیف؟و در آخر بشنوید که:فرآیند تولد و رشد استارتاپ را به چه موجودی میتوان شبیه کرد!کلمات کلیدی: استارتاپ، رشد مقیاس پذیر، کمینه محصول پذیرفتنی، کارآفرینی، مدل کسب و کار، عدم قطعیت، بنیانگذار، بوت استرپ، استارتاپ ناب، خلق ارزشKeywords: Startup, Scalable Growth, MVP (Minimum Viable Product), Entrepreneurship, Business Model, Uncertainty, Founder, Bootstrap, Lean Startup, Value Creation See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

MVP! I'm talking about Minimum Viable Product. In today's episode I talk about how to test out new concepts through minimum viable product. This will help you save time and money on failed ideas. BONUS: Here's our free gym owner's video class: www.levelupyourgym.com
In this episode, Jennifer Glass, Daniel McCraine, and Patricia Reszetylo talk about MVP - Minimum Viable Product - and why it is important to business. Too many people start a business thinking they need a website, logo, social media, and so many other pieces of collateral before they even make a sale, they forget the one important focus: business. Sure, a website may be important for an eCommerce business, but for most retail businesses, a website, in the beginning, may be overkill. Tune in to find out more and why Jennifer, Daniel, and Patricia say all of those distractions may be costing you business instead of helping!
