KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Knowing your why, your purpose, and what your business is there to achieve.

  • Even if you love your business and love being there you should still build it in a way that ensures it can thrive even if you can´t be there.

  • A business that relies on one person being there is weak because if anything happens to that person the business can easily collapse.

  • Everyone´s lives evolve. Even someone who is a workaholic can end up not wanting to spend every hour working on their business.

  • Work on your presence, and on how you show up. It has a huge impact on how effective a leader you can be.

  • Get your proposition right. Package your product or service to appeal to and tempt more buyers.

  • Prioritise effectively.

  • Driving momentum is vital. David provides several practical ways to do that.

  • If everything is focused on immediate-term, short-term income you won't be building any equity value in the business.
