growth partners 🤝: 3 criteria for meta-value

June 11, 2018 by Wim GE De Vos 2 Comments

As a small business looking for BIG impact I have learnt over the years to work with growth partners 🤝.

They bring much more to the table than you see on the surface. I call it meta-value***.

We have overhauled our partners over the last few years according to the following criteria:

  • growth 🚀 >>> growth businesses have fuel and energy, it also pushes them to come up with their better self.
  • innovation 👩🏼‍🔬 >>> this is a mindset – innovators see what can be instead of what is.
  • loyalty 🙏🏻 >>> growthhacking is only possible when ideas flow freely and there is mutual trust to promote risk-taking.

Making this choice is harder than first perceived. Often the obvious is.

Because it involves saying no to many, and asking yes from a few.

If you agree, don´t just nod.

Do or do not, there is no try….* Master Yoda

*** more on meta-value soon.

Friends & partners: the foundation of success
June 2018.
Feels like we are on a roll(ercoaster) 🎢 at Genesis Technologies. We are bubbling 🍾 with energy and buzzing with activity.
We have had our tough moments. Our setbacks. Crisis. We made our mistakes.
But we also have had some wins 🏁. Scored a few decisive goals . On occasion hit a bullseye 🎯.
The art of winning. Like a team.
And now, now it seems like a rocket 🚀 taking off. Not just us, but also our loyal partners. It feels like a snowball getting bigger and catching speed.
Like riding a friendly dragon 🐉.
Energizing. Exciting. Empowering.
And all because together we make simple 🔵 what once was complex 🍝. Hide what is ugly. Promote co-creating instead of competition.
We are happy campers ⛺️ at Genesis Technologies. And I simply thought you should know.
Be well, be you.

Partner up 🤝

You are an entrepreneur or work at a small business and determined to make an impact💥. That requires doing things you – and maybe nobody – has ever done before. R-I-S-K. Good. Expose yourself.

But you do not want to be the lone rider, the kid on the playground without friends,… You can survive alone,  but you cannot grow 🚀 or be truly successful all on your own.

Partner up 🤝. Determine who you are, why you do what you do and find like-minded people. Don´t take anyone. Be picky but partner up.

You will have to work on the partnership. But when you do it will be worth it for all involved. Also your customers.

PS: and if it does not work out – be straight and fold. No drama.

F%ck Patience

The problem with patience as a concept is that it’s passive 💤 – it’s a concept of tolerance. Literally. Here’s the definition:

pa·tience
ˈpāSHəns/
noun
1. 1.
the capacity to accept or tolerate delay, trouble, or suffering without getting angry or upset.

What we need is passion 🌹, drive 🏎 and willpower 💪🏻.

At least if you want to have an impact with your business.

Peace ✌🏼 out.
