Episode 0011 | The Market Matters Most in Business
01/02/19 • 36 min
In this episode, we’ve got another good one for you. We spent quite a few episodes walking you step-by-step through what you need to do to succeed with your new business venture. But did you know there’s one thing that’s more important than all of that? And today, we’re going to talk about it. I think, by the time you are done listening to this episode, you are going to have a complete mindset shift. So let’s get started...
----------------------------------------------------------------
⭐ During this episode, we detail these takeaways:
1. Build a good team and offer a good product/service, but accept that you still won’t succeed unless you fit the market, and that its size will determine the limits of your prosperity.
2. Your marketing will succeed better as you focus on channeling existing desires toward what you offer, rather than on creating new desires for what you offer.
3. If you work against the market, then you might labor hard for meager rewards but, if you work with the market, then prosperity will come naturally or even effortlessly.
4. You may prosper best by asserting a leading role within a sizable fast-growing market in which competition remains minimal.
5. Reject complacency but instead monitor markets (including via SWOT analysis) constantly as they constantly change.

Episode 0010 | “The Crowd Whisperer” Evaluates Projects
In this episode, we’re busting out our secret weapon. There’s even a bit of some “water cooler talk” going on at Funded Today, that this guy is “THE Crowd Whisperer.” If there’s anyone in the entire crowdfunding universe who has an eye for a great product and how to create one yourself, it’s this man, our very own Director of Client Specialists at Funded Today, Mr. Curtis Child.
----------------------------------------------------------------
⭐ During this episode, we detail these takeaways:
1. Learn as much as possible from your competitors’ campaigns about what helped render their products and/or presentations successful.
2. Before you ever launch a campaign, back some campaigns, both to familiarize yourself with the crowdfunding process and to establish yourself as part of the crowdfunding community.
3. Crowdfunding backers constitute a community with certain commonalities, and you can expect most of your project’s backers to be repeat not new.
4. The crowdfunding community seems to notice campaigns more readily when they use attractive uncluttered thumbnail images created from high-quality soft photographs of trendily-colored products on white backgrounds.
5. Crowdfunding campaigns raise funds better anytime they’re the first to offer the crowdfunding community a desirable innovation to a ubiquitous product, rather than marginally improving upon a previous project, although the latter can also enjoy success.
6. Rather than marginally improving upon someone else’s original idea, campaigners might succeed better by applying an already-successful innovation to an entirely-different product.
7. Many crowdfunding campaigners expect to raise $1,000,000 but don’t—but short-term success does not correlate with long-term success.

Episode 0012 | Leveraging the Pareto Principle (80/20)
In this episode, we’re going to talk about a paradox. Is it really better to be lazy than hard-working? Is it actually possible to get 16 times better results in your personal life and your business, doing less work than you are doing now? I think we’ve got an answer for you today that’s going to expand your mind and inspire you to test this tried-and-true principle. So, let’s get started...
----------------------------------------------------------------
⭐ During this episode, we detail these takeaways:
1. The Pareto Principle is a natural law that 20% causes produce 80% of effects, which means that some efforts are 16× as productive as other efforts.
2. The Pareto Principle implies that you should focus most of your attention on what matters most, which will enable you to increase both your efficiency and your effectiveness, thereby achieving more good (and also earning more money) within less time, rather than working exceptionally hard for relatively meager results.
3. You should take time off from work regularly, which will increase your productivity on-the-job.
4. You should engage in regular self-evaluation to reconsider what your goals should be, along with what activities will achieve those goals, and how you’re spending your time, and then adjust your schedule accordingly—and, by working smarter, you won’t need to work as hard.
5. Most business activity is minutiae, which can be delegated to hired specialists, who should be led/managed but not micromanaged, which allows entrepreneurs more time to focus on what matters most.
