As Time Marches On…
- Comments: 2
My businesses lately have been taking off much sooner than expected. The cliche of saying, “Going from nothing to something” definitely applies to infinFX right now. It truly amazes me the developments that have occurred in the last six months. “As time marches on,” I am realizing the importance of certain concepts that I have heard thousands of times, but failed to directly apply them to my businesses, before now.
The concepts I am referring to are:
1. Importance of branding
2. Protecting your assets
3. Put the customer first
4. Working with/hiring people who are smarter/more skilled than you are
5. It’s not what you know, its who you know
When starting to work on a venture, you’re so concentrated on developing sales/development, you might forget to take a step back and realize fundamentally what is happening.
The strength that having a good brand can have on a business is incredible. Having a good brand allows customers, and potential customers to identify your company. A brand can also create individuality and personality for a company.
We’ll delve deeper into these issues tomorrow…
looking forward to it. I really want to learn about branding yourself especially with personal domain names.
I’m excited to hear about your early successes! Keep up the good work. I myself am just starting to appreciate the concept of working with people who are smarter than you. I’ve got a friend who I’m not really working with, but we’re getting together once a week to talk shop, and it has done wonders for my motivation as a freelancer and an entrepreneur.
