So good, Dave! Target audience is key. Do you identify any other areas than that and hiring where the picking winners principle works to your advantage?
Great books!
Thanks, Eric! Picking winners can really apply to all aspects of business and life. When targeting a specific type of client, make sure you pick clients you can truly help, who value what you do, and who are willing to pay what you’re worth. When working “on” your business, focus on tasks that you excel at, and find others to help with areas in which you’re weaker. I think a lot of it has to do with being aware of what you have access to, who you have access to, and what your strengths are – and then recognizing those things in others. And being willing to avoid, turn down, or say no to things that aren’t “winners”.
