The Power of Innovation

A business is very similar to any personal relationships you have in life. They follow a lot of the same rules if you want them to be successful.

Whether youโ€™re working on the next Amazon, courting someone new, or trying to build a relationship with your child, you need to be innovative.

Innovation is all about assessing the situation. See whatโ€™s working and whatโ€™s not. Sometimes you may need an outsiderโ€™s view to see the problem areas.

Most importantly, innovation comes from listening, really hearing out your clients and your loved ones.

They are constantly trying to reach out and tell you exactly what it is they want — even though itโ€™s not always with their words.

These are important lessons Iโ€™ve learned the hard way while growing my own business and that’s why I thought it would be good to bring you an episode of Coffee Conversations with my good friend (and COO) Cesar to discuss this topic.

Matt is a recent father and has been by my side pretty much since the beginning.

Heโ€™s been the business side of my company, helping me push things forward and helping to reign me in when things arenโ€™t working.

For this episode, we discuss exactly how you can develop on innovative mindset — what you need to focus on, and not focus on, to see your business and relationships move forward.

If youโ€™re not innovating, youโ€™re standing still. When you stand still the world is leaving you behind.

Innovation isnโ€™t about being better than your competition, or reacting to what whatโ€™s happening around you.

Innovation happens before you need to react.
