in order to do more, you need to have good processes, good systems in place, you need to ensure good communications, so everyone has transparency on what's going on, everyone knows how their own work affects others.

Show Highlights




Some of the highlights of this episode include:

* It's vital to validate your idea with your audience - test if the problem is real, then test if the solution will help your audience.
* Good and well documented systems and processes are vital to any company, right from the start.
* Content Marketing is a really valuable and effective marketing channel, particularly for a content delivering company!
* A flat (not hierarchical) management structure helps rapidly growing businesses to keep agile and focused on getting the right things done.
* An innovation doesn't have to be "rocket science" or a dramatically new invention - something different that has enormous value and impact on people's lives is innovation.
















There are great innovations that can fly you to the moon.........and then a lot of little innovations that, in the end, have this great effect on peoples' everyday lives. Both are important.
Holger Seim
