Risk-taking isn’t just for the boldest entrepreneurs. It’s a job requirement for everyone who starts a business. As we explain today, everything we do — and don’t do — is inherently a choice between risks. To reach your full potential as an entrepreneur, you have to develop the skill of risk-taking like any other: with practice. Today, we discuss how. Learn why risks are unavoidable, and why they’re not so scary with the right approach. By purposely cultivating your personal “risk factor,” you unleash everything you’re really capable of.

“Viral”: as a buzzword, it’s past its prime.  As a marketing concept, it just needs a little fine-tuning. Today, we discuss how simply “getting your brand out there” and hoping some influencer spotlights it is a flawed strategy. Real, sustainable brand awareness is built more gradually, and on firmer footing. It’s not that you can’t have a “viral” moment. It’s just that you want the hype to last longer than a moment. Tune in, and hear about realistic strategies to create genuine, reproducible buzz around your product or service. With the right product, and the right product/market fit, the good word can really spread itself.

Some customers are worth more of your time and resources than others. I know, that sounds harsh. But it’s better for all customers when you understand this simple truth. It’s not that your “best” customers are inherently superior. It’s just that they’re a better fit for your product or service. …which means they’re worth a little extra love. Today, we discuss how to figure out who your real cheerleaders are: the ones who stay engaged, love what you do, and spread the word. Then, we’ll talk about how to recruit even more customers who fit that profile.  Focus on the customers who give you the best ROI and CLTV.
