Episode notes
Negotiate Win‑Win Vendor Deals
- Partner with vendors: share financials, prepay, and buy bulk to unlock better pricing.
- Treat vendors as partners and structure orders yearly to lower raw material costs for both sides.
Revenue Before Expense
- Validate revenue before building expenses; never assume unproven revenue will arrive.
- Test the market and prove cash flow before scaling costs or headcount.
Go Deep, Not Wide
- Define and own a narrow market avatar instead of being everything to everyone.
- Go deep in a few zip codes or niches to dominate brand presence and referrals.
