MBA859 How to Re-Launch a Product P1 Jan 23, 2017

Show notes

You’ve validated the idea. You’ve built the business. You’ve launched the product. Now comes possibly the most important part of all: RE-launching the product! Every successful business has to master the art of the relaunch (just look at how many iPhones have come out in the last few years). While initial launches are the most discussed— and maybe the most worried about— the relaunch tends to take a back seat. This super in-depth 2 part episode aims to fix that.

While the first launch of an MVP (minimum viable product) is a foundational step and proof of your overall concept, relaunching is what allows your business to truly move forward! Your ability to innovate, to be responsive to customers, and to stay relevant are all on display. In this podcast, we show you how to build the buzz, stoke new levels of excitement in your established customer base, and attract new business. We offer a specific, step-by-actual-step formula for the ideal relaunch— the same process we’ll be using ourselves for the debut of our own software update, WebinarNinja 5.0! Step one: Click play!

MBA858 Are You A Good Enough Leader? Jan 16, 2017

Show notes

To succeed, a business needs competent leadership. But what makes a great leader? Is it drive? Is it the confidence to bear authority? Or is leadership about more than just ambition? Today we discuss 8 key personal characteristics that define great leadership, from confidence to emotional intelligence. As our own software company, WebinarNinja, grows, we’ve found that leadership is more important than ever.

Leadership is about far, far more than power. It’s about open-mindedness, empathy, and the ability to inspire productivity rather than demand it. We believe leadership is a matter of learned behavior— behavior that can be consciously nurtured. We believe leadership is a choice that every entrepreneur can make, not an inborn trait that entitles someone to authority. And we believe that if you can develop the personality traits discussed here, you can lead your business anywhere. Click play!

MBA857 How To Upgrade Your Business’ Talent Jan 09, 2017

Show notes

A successful business is the result of hard but necessary choices. One of the hardest is the decision to transition between old and new team members. While your original team is to thank for your current success, it’s often the case that new talent is required to reach the next level. How can this be accomplished in a way that acknowledges the past while making the future possible?

Today we discuss when it’s appropriate— and necessary— to make some personnel changes. We review the signs it’s time for change, the best methods for finding quality new talent, and how to make the difficult change as smooth as possible. We’ve had to face this issue in our own software company, WebinarNinja. In doing so, we’ve learned one thing that’s undeniably true: no matter how tough it is, what’s best for the business is always the right choice. Click play to hear more.

MBA852 Stop Trying To Discover Your Passion [REBROADCAST] Dec 29, 2016

Show notes

Passion is overrated. That’s the message we’ve been pushing for a while now, and it’s gotten no less controversial. That’s why we’re airing this archived episode that inspired quite a bit of feedback! While following your passion is a nice idea, it’s definitely not a requirement for an entrepreneur. Instead, we advocate a different approach- one centered on identifying your value to the market. Forget the passion. Find the value! Click play!
