KEY TAKEAWAYS
A work ethic is a vital component in teaching discipline, value and responsibility. By instilling this as early as possible, we maximise out potential for each day. Identifying a need is crucial in developing an idea to take to market. Focus on the needs around you and identify the gap in the market that isn’t serving those needs. Marketing is an art. Having a large audience isn’t a guarantee of business success. Reaching your customers is a process of research and applying data creatively to your marketing plans. Being a professional athlete requires determination and grit, achieved through a focussed mind-set. Business is the same. We must train ourselves in determination, building a determined mind-set that allows us to overcome the challenges ahead.
