Build Out the Business of YOU
When it comes to making strategic decisions, optimizing your efforts & achieving long-term success, leaning into business concepts is the ultimate “hack”. By applying concepts from the business world, you can 10x your efforts & more quickly create meaningful change in your life.
Acquisition: Invest in Yourself
Business context: obtaining assets, resources or companies that add value (investing in things that enhance success, through capabilities, market share or revenue streams)
IRL: investing in yourself - acquire new skills, knowledge, experiences or relationships that increase your value (relative to YOU). Take courses, build strong & meaningful networks & learn how to fail faster & stack wins. Strategically acquire experiences to inform long-term success (high-yield over time).
Return on Investment (ROI): Value of Effort
Business context: measures profitability of investment - how much return (output) relative to the investment cost (input).
IRL: measuring the ROI of your most valuable investments - time, energy & attention. In terms of success, the goal is to focus on activities & investments that provide the highest/most significant returns in terms of development & fulfillment. Focus on the intended outcome & work backwards - apply & adapt as your grow.
Arbitrage: Capitalizing on Opportunity
Business context: ability to identify & take advantage of margins; to profit from discrepancy (ie. buying low & selling high).
IRL: identifying & capitalizing on opportunities that look like work - the things that others overlook. Nail down a niche, exploit your unique skills or expertise & leverage your time effectively. Personal arbitrage maximizes your unique strengths & positions them in areas/audiences to yield the greatest result.
Strategic Planning (Goal Setting)
Business context: strategic planning & goal setting guides growth & success, involving careful, systematic analysis of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities & threats (SWOT)
IRL: Set clear & strategic goals, then assess your progress. Build a mission to guide & inform your decisions - what is it that you actually want? Break your goal down into S.M.A.R.T, actionable goals. Use quarterly objectives to monitor your progress. Regularly hold yourself accountable - review & adjust your strategy relative to changes made & the circumstances in your personal & professional environment.
Efficiency & Optimization
Business context: successful businesses seek to optimize “operations”, reduce waste & increase efficiency to maximize growth & profits.
IRL: Edit meticulously to optimize your most valuable assets - your time, energy & attention. Focus on what matters - what will make the biggest difference & streamline to increase the odds of success. Eliminate unproductive habits, limiting beliefs & distractions to focus your effort on meaningful activities that deliver value.
