ThoughtlinesEpisode 12 - We are what we do, with Professor Steven ConnorIn this final episode of the CRASSH 20th anniversary year, we ask the centre’s Director, and Grace 2 Professor of English at Cambridge, Steven Connor, whether what we do for a living can ever, or should ever, be anything other than drudgery?
Thousands of column inches in the past year have been devoted to ‘The Great Resignation’, or ‘The Big Quit’ – a mass rebellion by millions of disgruntled employees worldwide who decided their current work just isn’t working for them any longer. Employment, then, is yet another thing to be re-worked by the COVID-19 pandemic, but less examined is why we even do...2021-12-3143 min

Small Business Ideas | Starting a Small BusinessYou Need to Know How a Drug Dealer Mindset Will Ruin Your HustleAs a business coach, one of the single most common issues I see with new entrepreneurs is their lack of understanding of gross profit, gross margin, and the impact of operating expenses. Their focus is almost always exclusively on the revenue gained from sales. I often refer to this as the “drug dealer mindset.” Petty street-level drug dealers are often fronted a bunch of product they are expected to sell by a distributor level drug dealer.

The phone, which uses the Google engine, could answer some questions such as, “What is tomorrows forecast?” without him ever removing the phone from his pocket. However, his demonstration ran into problems locating answers to other questions such as, “How do you drive a car? ”Being in a teachable moment, I began to explain to him the difference between explicit and tacit knowledge.

What it says to me is that you are the Owner of a small business.In my case, when I started my business I chose my title both out of ignorance and ego. I liked having a title shared by titans of the industry because it made me feel important. I really didn't understand the different roles the CEO and President typically perform.2019-06-0702 minSmall Business Ideas | Starting a Small BusinessWhat is the Difference Between Leadership and Management in Small Business?Leadership and management are both essential elements of business success. Leadership is closely aligned with the role of a CEO and Management to the role of the President. Even though there is a difference between leadership and management, most people use them interchangeably which is incorrect.Recently, I was trying to explain the evolution of a business to a client and introduced the idea of business function segmentation. In the discussion, the role of "management" came up. Since up to that point I referred to "leadership" during the early stages of a company, my client stopped m...2019-05-1702 minSmall Business Ideas | Starting a Small BusinessHow to Improve Your Odds of Success by Conducting a PESTEL AnalysisBusiness owners can use a PESTEL analysis to assess which macro-environmental elements could potentially impact the success of their business.

Today I want to introduce another irrational factor that transcends financial reasoning as it relates to the perception of value. Today’s post will introduce how “transparency asymmetry” can destroy the value of your offering.As consumers, we too often associate effort with value.

If one locksmith spent ov...2019-03-0606 minSmall Business Ideas | Starting a Small BusinessWhat You Need To Know About How Fairness Shapes ValueDid you know that the human desire for fairness distorts their ability to make sound financial decisions? A business that understands how fairness can affect human perceptions can avoid unexpected, and often catastrophic outcomes by properly framing their marketing message.As Dan Ariely, the author of Predictably Irrational is fond of saying; humans react irrationally. This is especially true when it comes to financial reasoning-and how they perceive price and value when fairness is part of the equation.From a purely logical standpoint, when consumers evaluate any transaction, they should simply compare...2019-02-2706 minSmall Business Ideas | Starting a Small BusinessHow to Crush the Competition with Horizontal SegmentationI have been a huge fan of Malcolm Gladwell ever since I read his book The Tipping Point. Recently I saw him give a TED Talk, where he talked about Dr. Howard Moskowitz and his theory of Horizontal Segmentation. The message of the TED Talk has some valuable lessons for small business owners looking for a profitable uncontested Blue Ocean market that the competition has not yet discovered or exploited.A common belief in product development born out of the day of mass markets prior to the long tail economy, was that as a product developer...2019-02-2005 minSmall Business Ideas | Starting a Small BusinessFeatures & Benefits: Why It Is Important To Know The DifferencesWhen it comes to marketing, there are two primary ways to describe your offering. One way focuses on what your offering does, known as its features. The other is how it will improve your user or prospect’s life, known as its benefits. Many nascent business owners spend too much time listing features such as all the bells and whistles when they interact with their potential customers, and not enough time trying to connect the features to the benefits which is the part that the prospect really needs to understand. Left to their own accord, users and p...2019-02-1306 minSmall Business Ideas | Starting a Small BusinessThe 5-Step Process Used In Infomercials You Need To UseInfomercials, like the classic Shamwow infomercial are an example of how structure and technique can have a huge effect on how a user or prospect is driven toward taking a specific action like clicking a buy button.Infomercials follow a specific structure that any small business can use to drive action but few businesses ever consider using it when they pitch their product or service.

Software programs were packaged in a slipcover and sold with the computer hardware, or sold separately to customers. Software was a physical product that the customer purchased up front and then owned in perpetuity.As the internet matured, web pages took on the functionality of many software products. These software applications lived in the cloud and didn’t require physical ownership. Moreover, customers no longer had to pay for periodic upgrades since the online applications lived on a server and not on their hardware platforms.

They can be sales-led, market-led, or product-led.However, before we dive in, I once saw a great definition of sales vs marketing that can help make the points discussed in this post clearer.* Marketing is an effort defined by the business to communicate to the masses. (One on Many)* Sales, by contrast, is a sales rep from the company communicating with a prospect in a face-to-face fashion. (One on One)01But where does product-led fit in? Not sure what they mean?

For example, you can earn more money if you don’t have enough to make you happy or you can be more efficient with how you spend it. You can buy more food if you are hungry or use it more wisely. However, there is one thing that you can’t make more of and that is time.

This ruling sent shockwaves through the eCommerce community.Prior to the court’s ruling, most eCommerce retailers only had to have a sales tax license and collect sales taxes for all jurisdictions for a single location. Based on the location where the buyer took possession of goods, the seller only had to collect sales taxes for the taxing juri...2019-01-0206 minSmall Business Ideas | Starting a Small BusinessA Simple Pricing Hack to Increase Customer SatisfactionHave you ever noticed that people prefer to own something, rather than rent it even when it makes way more sense to rent than to own? There is a simple reason for this it and it has to do more with when you pay rather than how much you pay.Did you know that paying for something is painful literally? fMRI studies have shown that when a person has to pay for something, the same regions of the brain that light up when a person experiences pain also light up when they are paying for something.What if...2018-12-2604 minSmall Business Ideas | Starting a Small BusinessHow to Tap into the Consumer’s Emotional Need For a BargainNot too long ago, discounts were not as common as they are today. I remember reliably knowing that I could buy a snowblower at a discount in the spring, and lawn equipment at a discount in the fall. Retailers priced their products based on their direct and indirect costs, plus a reasonable profit margin. They only offered discounts as clearance sales at the end of the season to offload unsold merchandise rather than store them until the following year.That is not true anymore. Spawned out of the last recession, consumers have been conditioned to focus more on what...2018-12-0504 minSmall Business Ideas | Starting a Small BusinessHow to Remove Buyer and Seller RemorseOne of the biggest obstacles that prevent a buyer from making a purchase decision is the fear that they will pay too much. From the seller's perspective, there is the fear of pricing a product or service too high killing potential sales or too low, leaving money on the table.There is an asymmetry of information in that the seller has a much more intimate understanding of how the purchase can benefit the customer… but all the customer knows is what the seller or their published content says. Enter “Pay What You Want” (PWYW) pricing.When the buyer can na...2018-11-2805 minSmall Business Ideas | Starting a Small BusinessHow to Avoid Misclassifying an Employee as a ContractorMany businesses struggle with understanding the difference between having employees vs independent contractors, also called 1099 subcontractors. Most small business owners would prefer to have everyone classified as an independent contractor to avoid all the friction that the government places on employers. Businesses that use independent contractors are not required to provide them benefits, withhold federal, state, and FICA taxes, match the employees FICA contributions, or pay for workers' compensation, or unemployment insurance. However, the IRS would rather that businesses have employees so that a single employer is responsible for all the withholdings as opposed to multiple independent contractors.Moreover...2018-11-2105 min
