    Could CENTS have protected your business from COVID "non-essentiality"?

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    You are 100% right on controlling customers, vendors and platforms. I add to this controling every aspect of the company and its fate. This goes to shareholding, cash flow, channels. etc. It's not about becoming paranoid, but keeping a short leash so nothing can surprise and derail the journey...

    Could CENTS have protected your business from COVID "non-essentiality"?

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Having cash on hand to weather a storm is a matter of Control (you control your business even it lacks revenue) over a certain period of Time, so you can Scale as Needed. Feels like CENTS to me. Still my 2 CENTS.

    Could CENTS have protected your business from COVID "non-essentiality"?

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    It goes to Control, Time and Scale. My business has doubled in size since March, although I have not hit the Scale factor I want yet. However, in any business, cash is king. I come to follow the fact that the cash flow statement is more important, operationally, than the PnL, and that one metric...

    cant think of any ideas for being an entrepreneur (college student)

    IDEA 
    My 2 CENTS... Look around you for clues in needs (may be your own need as an individual), and pass them through the CENTS filter (Control, Entry, Need, Time and Scale). Then Act, Assess, Adjust. If you're not sure, pay a visit to a start-up incubator in Dublin (Accelerators & incubators |...

    What would it take to talk to MJ?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I have one (not on the forum everyday ;-))! I'm running a podcast (Entrepreneurs Talk Africa, Entrepreneurs Talk Africa) aimed at helping the vast community of African entrepreneurs (Africa is 1.3 billion people) and want to promote your books and ideas to our community (a thousand downloads so...

    2 hours of cold calls a day

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Great commitment. As I hate cold calling too, I encourage to ponder the Act-Assess-Adjust principle (or Build-Measure-Learn, in the MVP approach). After every 2 hours of calls, reflect on what happened. What can you learn from your calls? What was successful? What was not? How can you do...

    I've Read UNSCRIPTED!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I read Unscripted. The best book from far about business and entrepreneurship. At least one of the only ones that does not glorify the blah blah blah from self development gurus and proclaimed millionaires, but hit right in the belly. Grind baby, grind!

    Good morning from Mauritius

    INTRO 
    Thanks Kasimir. I've a consulting business, a podcast one and a business angel investing one as well. The tourism has gone down not because of the oil spill (which was pretty limited and got cleaned due to the swift action of citizens), but because our borders are closed. You can come to...

    Good morning from Mauritius

    INTRO 
    At last a book that tells the truth (Unscripted) about the rat race and the entrepreneur's world. Thank you @MJ DeMarco, I have a blast listening to you when driving these last days. Been in two, back in the entrepreneur's world, founded 3 companies in 2 years, now looking to scale. Enjoying...
