In May 1796, an enslaved woman named Ona Judge fled the presidential household in Philadelphia and escaped to freedom on a ship headed for New Hampshire. Judge's successful flight was one of many such escapes by the sea in the 18th and 19th centuries. Enslaved people boarded ships docked in ports great and small and used coastal water ways and the ocean as highways to freedom. We often learn about the Underground Railroad in school, but what about its aquatic component?  On today's episode, Dr. Timothy D. Walker joins Jim Ambuske to discuss his new edited volume, Sailing to Freedom: Maritime Dimensions of the Underground Railroad, which was published by the University of Massachusetts Press in 2021. Walker is a Professor of History at the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth, and along with the contributors to Sailing to Freedom, Walker guides us towards new horizons in our quest to better understand this history.  About Our Guest: Dr. Timothy Walker (B.A., Hiram College, 1986; M.A., Ph.D., Boston University, 2001) is a professor of history at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth.  At UMD, he serves as Fulbright Program Advisor (faculty and students); prior posts include Director of Tagus Press and Director of the UMass in Lisbon Study Abroad Program.

Skalowanie biznesu opartego na usługach wydaje się zadaniem praktycznie niewykonalnym. A przynajmniej szalenie trudnym. Teoretycznie, żeby usługodawca mógł zarabiać więcej, musiałby po prostu więcej pracować. Na szczęście istnieją sposoby na uniezależnienie firmy od siebie i ilości przepracowanych godzin.Gościem 311. odcinka MWF jest Monika Serek, która na bazie firmy opartej na usługach fotograficznych zbudowała biznes, który praktycznie kręci się sam.7:36 Dlaczego Monika otworzyła sklep internetowy, mimo że dotychczasowa praca dawała jej spełnienie?13:38 W jaki sposób Monika rozkręciła biznes na dużą skalę i przyciągnęła klientów do sklepu?19:05 W jaki sposób Monika połączyła kilka aktywności: robienie zdjęć i prowadzenie sklepu?21:53 Jakie obowiązki spoczywają na Monice dzisiaj, gdy sklep ma już silną pozycję na rynku?23:50 Jakich trudności i niepowodzeń Monika doświadczyła w trakcie rozwijania swojego biznesu?30:09 Dlaczego Monika postanowiła wrócić do świadczenia usług, których nie da się łatwo skalować?33:03 Jak pozbyć się obaw, że prowadząc branżowe szkolenia, wychowujemy sobie konkurencję?36:36 W jaki sposób odróżnić elastyczność od niezdecydowania i prób łapania kilku srok za ogon?38:48 Jak Monika podchodziła do swojego biznesu kiedyś, a jak postrzega go dziś?44:30 Co Monika radziłaby osobom, które chcą podążać tą samą drogą co ona?49:30 Czy Monika wyznaczyła sobie jakiś limit, podnosząc stopniowo ceny za swoje usługi?51:54 Jak Monika radziła sobie z hejtem na początku swojej działalności?57:44 Czy Monika się na kimś wzoruje i ma jakichś mentorów biznesowych?1:00:43 W jaki sposób Monika analizuje swoje talenty i pracuje nad ich rozwijaniem?1:04:40 Jak znaleźć w sobie siłę do realizowania postawionych celów?Notatki do tego odcinka i prezent do pobrania: https://malawielkafirma.pl/skalowanie-uslug/3 rzeczy do zrobienia po wysłuchaniu tego podcastu:- Po prostu działaj. W biznesie nie można wprawdzie ciągle skakać z kwiatka na kwiatek, ale jeśli czujesz, że jakiś twój pomysł ma potencjał, sprawdź go. Kiedy testujesz nowe rozwiązania, masz szansę podnieść swoją firmę na wyższy poziom i zawsze być kilka kroków przed konkurencją.- Staraj się nie spuszczać z oka wyznaczonego celu. Jeżeli chcesz uniezależnić swój biznes od siebie, w pewnym momencie musisz się na tym mocniej skupić. Może się to wiązać z koniecznością rezygnowania z niektórych zleceń. Zamiast żałować, że właśnie odmówiłeś klientowi i nie zarobisz na zleceniu, myśl o tym, że pracujesz nad tym, żeby w przyszłości zarobić jeszcze więcej.- Decydując się na skalowanie usług, warto pozostawać w obszarze, w którym masz już wyrobioną markę. Dobry masażysta mógłby na przykład otworzyć sklep ze sprzętem i kosmetykami do masażu, a dietetyk stworzyć kurs online na temat zdrowego żywienia.
