I’ve noticed that I’ve had a lot of observations lately that I want to share, so I want to start this thread. I will post atleast one observation a week.

Entry #1: Don’t Work On Only The Outside Or Inside Of Business.

A Seesaw doesn’t balance when there’s more weight on one side.


My sister was just trying to find a YouTube video to watch.

Observation?

She saw a video with a really edited thumbnail, she found it appealing so she hovered on it.

They didn’t get to the point, the preview showed the logo and went to the advertising.

It was just a mess overall as the video was shown having weird lighting etc from the preview.

The other one wasn’t that heavily edited, she hovered over it and it showed everything immediately.

No logo or sponser of this video shit, straight to the point.

She decided to watch that video, but soon realized that it was too fast and unclear.

She went over to the third one which had a good thumbnail and a catchy title.

She clicked on it, it went straight to the point yet explained everything very thoroughly.

The Difference?

The first one focused on the outside of getting clients, by luring them in, but couldn’t convert them..

The second one focused on the inside, but didn’t really do a good job at that.

The third one focused on both the inside, outside and just the overall quality, my sister now always watches that channel.

Lesson?

Don’t neglect a certain part of your business,

and don’t underestimate first impressions.
