  • How to measure success

    Someone asked me a question recently that really made me think: “How will you know when you’re successful?”. There’s a difference between being successful and feeling successful. By most standard measurements, I am enjoying more success now than at any other time in my life, but if you ask me if I feel successful, the honest answer is “not yet.” This is what makes the question so fantastic. If the goal is to feel successful, what is the measurement we should use to achieve that feeling? Gästinlägg av Simon Sinek

  • How to find your Why

    If you’re a leader of some sort and you don’t know what you believe, then how do you know who to hire? How do you know what message to put out to employees to inspire loyalty? What message to tell your customers to inspire them to buy from you? How do you know when you’re being authentic or not? | Gästinlägg av Simon Sinek

  • It takes two

    No matter how clear the vision, no matter how high the risk tolerance, a leader is nothing without the first person to stand up and join. For a movement to grow, for an idea to spread and for a company to become something special – it takes two. | Gästinlägg av Simon Sinek

  • The final score doesn’t matter

    The definition of ”winning” includes a subjective element – when what we actually achieve surpasses the expectations others think we could achieve. The innovator believes something can be done when others think it can’t. The entrepreneur believes a solution exists for a problem others think unsolvable (if they even recognize the problem in the first place). And this is why optimists are the most important people of all. They believe every one of us can achieve more than we think we can. They push us and they inspire us. They are able to convert our rational assessment of our abilities (thinking) into drive and passion (belief). And when people believe in you, they will rally for you, support you, send resources your way, introduce you to people and help pave the way for you to succeed. | Gästinlägg av Simon Sinek

  • Don’t protect your property

    Kodak made the biggest mistake possible. Instead of building a business around why people use film, they set out to protect the film itself. Kodak forgot that the goal in business is not to find customers for your products, it’s to make products for your customers. | Gästinlägg av Simon Sinek

  • The visionary’s dilemma

    Visionaries can see a world that doesn’t exist. This is the reason we call them visionary – because they can see into the future. And I’m sure they could change the world or take down the largest of corporations. If anyone could understand a thing they were saying. This is the visionary’s dilemma. | Gästinlägg av Simon Sinek
