A short summary of the ideas from the video above: 1. If you cannot be first in your category, setup a new category. The Blue Ocean strategy. 2. Don't obsess about scaling. Focus on the product. 3. Gain 1000 true fans. They will be the drivers of your growth. 4. Measure your KPIs and train to deliver your message in a clear and concise way. 5. 80/20 principle (works with your content, clients etc) 6. Do many tests and look for the stuff that works. You are only starting, that's okay. 7. In the middle of your journey find time to stop, evaluate what you have already achieved and correct your course direction. 8. Hard (and smart) work is key.

@Don Z I agree with and I too am an incredibly hands on parent. If you don't believe me go check my youtube it is very apparent. All of my not for profit videos are shot at his school. School is still kind of a sham. It's a shit system and even the most authentic and genuine teachers struggle. Standardized testing leaves most creative children behind. IT IS NOT a perfect system.

0:30 Better create a category and own it. Then go to what exists 2:25 Don't obsesse on scaling. Don't work for the awards. Focus on a great work Read small giants. 5:15 Create podcasting on something you are curious about You can then convince others to be invested in it 7:00 If you are taking inspiration from other podcasts understand what made it them. Is it the host, the guests etc. Focus on what interests you. You like that attract your tribe 10:00 Focus on the critical things which are mostly uncomfortable and like that you can outpace others 13:20 Focus on starting Then focus on repetition. Focus on discipline then. And then focus on repetition and decipline with a great video 16:50 תכוונו לנישה מסוימת ואל תתפזרו

@BioStock08 4 роки тому

"Indiscriminate action is reflective of too little thinking and planning, and that is lazy and that is one of the most destructive forms of laziness because it is socially reinforced and people will encourage you to do that. In other words they will say "just don't stand there do something." Well if you're constantly doing things that are not carefully thought through you will end up doing the opposite the 80/20 principle you will end up specializing in unimportant things." I have been searching for someone to say this very thing long time.

Tim, your work ethic, hustle, and marketing skills are legendary. I remember seeing interviews and case studies about tactics you used to make your projects successful. Do you think entrepreneurs are somewhat cheated when the people they look up to preach, "follow your passion! take risks!" without sharing the secret sauce of their hyper growth tactics? You're easily one of the most generous, tactic-oriented guys just out there, just wondering your opinion.

@GeeGee-qw4wx Рік тому

Tim, this morning I stumbled across your interview on Morning Brew. After, watched two of your videos, including the above. Your guidance regarding starting a business essentially is what I experienced starting my first service corporation back in the early 80s. As founder and CEO, I operated and built that business into a North American competitor over forty plus years, before retiring it six years back. During that time, I started and sold two other businesses. I enjoyed and could relate to your experience on many levels, only my experiences began back in the 70s, including the effects of psychedelics. I hope your audience listened closely, especially to when you say, if they don't have time to read, they probably should pass on starting a business. Thank You!

Has mentioned in the video, it is important to spend time and read more about the business that someone is trying to start.
