Deep Dive with Ali Abdaal How To Build A Business In 2023 (The Easy Way) - Robin Waite
Hamilton vs. Senna
- Robin uses Lewis Hamilton as an example of not comparing yourself to those ahead of you.
- Instead, acknowledge their success as proof of possibility.
Product Agnosticism
- Don't overthink your initial product choice; business principles are transferable.
- Focus on core business functions, and you can adapt the product later.
Evaluate Business Ideas
- Write your ideas down and evaluate them against the three Fs.
- Rate each idea to find the most promising.
We have a lot of people listening to this podcast who potentially want to start their own businesses someday, maybe even today or tomorrow. This interview is with Robin Waite. Robin is a professional business coach, public speaker, and author with 20 years of experience. For 10 years Robin ran a successful design and advertising agency serving over 250 clients which he then sold before helping thousands of people become grow their businesses with his business coaching. This has been one of my favourite episodes of the podcast and Robins book, ‘Take Your Shot’ was one of the books I read as soon as it came out and it’s featured in my top 10 recommendations. In the episode we talk about how to start and grow a business in 2023 covering everything from finding your product, to pricing, to mindset and building a team. I hope you enjoy the episode as much as I did.
