  • The art of the demo🎨

    There is a difference between “running a demo” of your product and “bringing the experience to life“.

    Running a demo is mechanical, going through the motions, inward looking and unemotional. It also rarely works. A website does a better job at this anyway.

    Bringing the experience to life is telling a story, with passion ❤️, focussed on your client and full of emotional triggers. It creates opportunities and business.

    The art of the demo is all about the second. When you bring an experience to life you create ART.

    You paint a picture 🎨 and engage with people on an emotional level.

    Small details that make a BIG impact 💥…

    The art of plorking.
    Do the best you can but do not take it too seriously.  🤡
    You are not at your best when you are simply working⚒. Nor when you are just playing🎮.
    You are at your best when you do both at the same time…and that my friend is plorking ⚒+🎮.
    Say it out loud 📣: “I am at my best when I am plorking”.
    Imagine the smile on your face, the creativity and productivity.
    It is infectious and obvious. It is how you create a BIG impact 💥.

  • Why should we wait? The kung fu way 🥋

    7 AM. Waking up. 😴

    Lizzard brain 🛌 vs Thunderlizzard desire to make an impact 💥.

    Created a Jedi habit that helps. Use the Force. Us the 🧡 love for music 🎵…so does the lazy lizzard brain …press ▶️play.

    Bruce Lee kung fu 🥋 move because todays song track is already selected and puts the lizzard brain on the back foot. Great move. Behaviour is heavily influenced by context. So create the context 😎.

    Some straight to the heart blues 🎸 to get me on track. Shit to do, stuff to make happen. Forward motion 🚀.

    Why should we wait until tomorrow what we can do today? You know what to do. No one is going to see you through. It is all up to you.

    Waiting ain´t no use.

    Why should we wait until tomorrow what we can do today? It ain´t no use to put off that thing, that´s gonna happen anyway…

    Another fuckin´ beautiful day*

    Hell yeah. Be legendary, every day.

    And if you can do it 🕺🏼dancing, even better.

  • like riding a bicycle 🚲

    Running a business is like riding a bicycle 🚲. You learn by doing, not by reading the manual.

    Hands on the steering wheel.

    Look forward.

    Pedal firmly and with strength.

    Shift gears when needed.

    And above all: you quickly learn that speed gives you stability.

  • Organise your small business for BIG impact 💥 TEAM

    ✅ Your small business wants BIG impact.

    ✅ The services and stuff you offer are sweeeeeet 🍭🍭🍭 (or so early adopters tell you).

    ✅ You are moving beyond product differentiation and developing a unique business model.

    ✅ The market is buzzing 🚀 and you are ready to get your slice of the cake.

    ☑️ ? So what about your TEAM ?

    The girls and boys who make stuff happen. Who are they and how will the interact. This raises questions and bids for answers.

    • Where do you find the next artist to join your team?
    • How do you convince her?
    • How do you integrate the new potential jedi?
    • What is the mechanism to transmit your culture*?
    • How is the flight formation within your business? Functional, divisional, matrix, always changing,…

    Either you have these points down, or you don´t.

    If you do – get better at them. Reinforce each point every day.

    If you don´t – stop reading now and get to work.
    No time to waste as your TEAM is a pillar in any successful business. Today and every today after that.

    *Culture can trump (pun intended) strategy… so do not underestimate its Force. Really spend time on this one if you want to scale.
