Why Balancing People and Finances Defines Business Success
How do you build an effective company? By effective, I mean a company able to grow quickly, gain traction and have a strong brand while becoming financially viable in a relatively short time frame. With that question in mind, I've studied hundreds of companies and looked at several frameworks and toolboxes for entrepreneurs. I've come to the conclusion (so far) that an effective business model is built on two dimensions: The people dimension and the financial dimension. These two dimensions walk hand in hand. Yet the people side is what makes the business thick from the economic standpoint. The people side comprises the following elements: A compelling value proposition: How do you want your people to think about your brand? A unique brand positioning: What do you offer to your people that make them want more? A 10x goal setting: Can you offer a 10X better product or service? (compared to existing solutions) This people dimension will help you build a solid brand. A solid brand builds up a tribe, a group of people willing to follow you anywhere. Once you have a solid brand, you can focus on the second dimension: the financial dimension. The three elements of the financial dimensions are: Customer segments: Who is your customer? (to notice here we're not talking anymore about people but customers, those willing to pay for your product or service) Distribution channels: How do you get your product or service to your customer? Profit formula: Is the business financially sustainable? Let's see why these elements are critical and why each of the matter so much for the future success of your business.
