When maneuvering your pricing to fit client’s conditions, make sure that you will also benefit as well. 💯
We don’t want to compromise so much then end up that client putting too much strain on you or your team, wasting too much time and energy, right? 😉
Engage in fair and balanced negotiations.

Age doesn’t matter when it comes to exiting the business.
It is merely a number. Instead, set goals with concrete numbers or dates. 🗓️
You need to establish clear benchmarks for your business. When it hits a milestone, it’s your cue to explore an exit or set a predetermined date. That’s what I learned from talking with Diana.
Share your thoughts on planning an exit below! 💪

I’ve heard this multiple times from Gary Vaynerchuck:
You can’t expect employees to work as hard as you do. It’s not their business. 🤷🏻
Yep, there’s some truth to it. But what you can actually do is to create a shared vision so big it will resonate with them and help motivate to do their best at work.✨

Wonder why some employees stay in their jobs while others move on? It’s easy to blame it on management, but there’s a deeper dynamic at play. 🤔
In today’s social media-driven world, it’s easy to be influenced. We often see what others are doing online and think we should follow it, whether in our careers or personal lives.
But not every battle is meant for us to fight, especially if it doesn’t align with our true goals and aspirations. We need to know where your energy and efforts should be focused. 🧐
Retaining good talent requires more than just being a good boss; it means guiding and helping them choose the right battles in their professional journeys. Influence wisely, and watch your team thrive. 🤩

Have you ever felt like you’ve lost your true self in the pursuit of a conventional career? I’ve been there.😩
The moment when Alina and I have that conversation, I knew I needed to leave the corporate. 💼
It’s not about the money anymore, but rather how I get my freedom and soul back.
I traded suit and tie, the monotony, for a life that feels authentic and fulfilling. 😥
I realized it’s about more than just financial gains; it’s about living a life that truly resonates with your essence.💫
Anyone here who already left the corporate to pursue business? Raise your hands! 🙌

A case study of the time I fired myself. 🤔
I went up to my boss at the time and I said, “You need to find my replacement.”
These are the words I uttered when I realized I wasn’t the right fit for my position in the company. 🤷
You see, it seems like everyone wants to climb the corporate ladder, but believe me, the higher you go up, the more responsibilities will be on your shoulders.
I was too young, too inexperienced. I knew my capabilities at the time and I knew my limitations, so I took the courage and requested to be demoted. 🤗
Have you also experienced something like this? Would love to know how you handled these kind of tough situations. 😉
Entrepreneurship is all about taking those small steps that lead to big leaps. 🌟
Dr Sassan Dieter Khatib-Shahidi’s philosophy has always been simple: If you can sell one, you can sell 10. Sell 10 and you can sell 100. Sell 100, you can sell 1000, and so on. 📈
If you’re an aspiring entrepreneur, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by the big numbers. Start with one, then aim for 10. 🎯
As you master each level, the story of your success will unfold on its own. 🚀

Are you an entrepreneur or aspiring business owner?
It’s common to start with big dreams, envisioning valuations and success, but what if I told you there’s a more fundamental focus that truly matters? 🤔
It’s natural to think about future valuations and growth. However, the real essence of success often lies in a fundamental question: Are you solving a meaningful problem for someone?
Consider this perspective shift. Instead of fixating solely on financial outcomes, shift your attention to the impact you’re making. True value is found in addressing real needs, solving problems, and making a difference in someone’s life. 🤗
Focus on the core mission of solving meaningful problems, and the rest will follow. 🙏✨

Transparency is key in client conversations.
Understanding what works and what doesn’t is vital. 👀
Here’s a snippet from Jaya’s approach:
“We believe in under-promising and over-delivering. Sometimes, what may not work for you needs a transparent discussion outlining why and what it entails in terms of time and investment.
Our goal is to bring clarity and rationalize the process for you. By focusing on what truly matters and solving 90% of your issues, we aim for effective solutions that align with your goals.” 🙌
This approach just shows how you also care and value your client’s business, and not always about the money.✨💵

Let’s keep it real for a moment. Being a CEO or founder can feel like you’re handed the “worst” problems on a silver platter. 🙃
Why? Well, because the small stuff? Others have that covered. But the truly gnarly, messy, head-scratching challenges? Those are yours. 🤯
I recently heard Elon Musk put it this way, and it’s spot on: It might be one of the “worst” jobs in the world, but oh boy, it’s also one of the most rewarding. 🚀
Check out the full conversation I had with Dr. Sassan on My First Business Podcast. Available on YT, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and other platforms!
It’s never too late to change your path and discover your own superpower.
It’s a continuous journey, one that required time, introspection, and daily dedication.

👉 Starting a business is all about taking risks, but with franchising, you’re cutting that risk in half!
But, Is franchising a shortcut or a strategic move? The debate rages on. 🕵️♂️
📊 It’s because someone else has already done the groundwork – nailed the concept, figured out the pricing, identified the target customers, and more.
Like any other businesses, it’s not a walk in the park. You still need to build your team that will fit to the culture, make decisions regarding investments, etc.
But if you want to dive into entrepreneurship, franchising might be your perfect starting point.

How do you set your OKRs in your business?
During my conversation with Dr. Sassan, I was amazed by how he set the company’s OKRs. It felt like I took a masterclass! 😲
The most important part of setting OKRs lies in how you prioritize your goals. Here’s how they did it:
For example, there are 5 ideas in line. People will pitch these ideas and explain how it will help achieve the quarterly goal all the way to the long term vision. After that, people will vote by attaching dots on the sticky notes, and the idea with the most number of dots will win. 🌟
Now you might ask, what will happen to the other ideas posted on the wall that were not chosen?
It will be thrown away directly to the trash bin, no matter how brilliant it is. It might be harsh, but that’s how you do prioritization. 🤗
Do you already have OKRs in your business? Share your process on how you do it!
