The power of repeatability


To a lot of other people repeatability is a challenge but if you want to build a real business it is key.

Durring the start-up phase of a business, people tend to immerse themselves in their product or service. I have been there myself several times experiencing the heydays of building the product. Everything is great and the team is sharing the same vision and surfing the same wave.

What happens next is not always that great because this is here you shift from building to proving, first the hypothesis, customer value and sales of your product and next that you can create a repeatable, profitable, and scalable sales model.

During this shift a lot of bootstrapped companies close, and start-ups run out of funding.

What differs the ones that fail from the ones that succeeds are their ability to find and use the power of repeatability. Repeating the customer value, marketing activities and sales model that works while stopping everything else that don´t.

To do this takes time, focus and a special skillset.

During my work with entrepreneurs 1 out of 50 have this skillset and what they do have not been learned at our education system or while working in the corporate world.

Instead of starting by building a product they start by building a repeatable business.

The core elements of their business consist of 5 elements.

  1. A repeatable cash flow model
  2. A repeatable marketing and sales model
  3. A repeatable system that creates customer value
  4. A repeatable legal system that protects their assets
  5. A repeatable profitable product

Instead of immersing themselves in the product or service they use all their time, focus and skillset to find and use the power of repeatability.

Learning to use the power of repeatability can be a challenge but if you want to build a real business it is key.

As a young football player, I was told “you play as you practice” meaning if you want to be a professional football player you must create the best habit of practice that you stick to and act on each week. Your consistent small actions will then compound and lead to your goal. This simple lesson from my coach has led me to an insight that counts in football as well as in life: Goals, choices, and habits shape our lives and the daily habits and choices we make have a compound effect on our...

It might be new to some but here is a bold statement…humans don´t make rational decisions. In traditional economics a person is expected to weight the benefits and drawbacks of an action and choose the option in their own self-interest. We have all been educated to think this is true in business as well as in life but everyone that have observed real life behavior of people know that this is not right. In the high-speed society that we live in today real-world choices are very often...

A couple of years ago I learned the difference between a cashsuck business and a cashflow business and that I a lot of times have sucked at making cash do to this little difference. Here is the difference between the two kind of businesses: In a cashsuck business you provide your service and then you get your money. In a cashflow business you get your money and then you provide your service. In a cashsuck business you only make money 3-4 times a year. In a cashflow business you earn money...
