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.

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.
