    Time Stamps and Key Ideas

    00:04:59 Do what kind of works for you.
    Highlights individual pursuits where focus is on things that works for oneself like how to do things at your own pace.

    00:09:34 Updates on EditorNinja
    Pipeline kind of slowed down and they had a little bit of churn however, EditorNinja is still slowly getting into it, constantly, steadily and healthily growing. Things came slower as they doubled prices around January or February, although sales process are tightened up, people are still closing deals. Services are priced competitively, providing quality services relieving people from the burden of doing things their own or hiring a full-time editor themselves.

    00:13:50 Just Be Hard to Kill
    Contains a talk highlighting what Sam Altman said about a superpower of startups which is "just be hard to kill". Meaning, whatever the changing market throws unto you, one must be ready to change and look for opportunities to strive amidst the
    unforgiving sea of challenges and try to rides its waves. If one can, try to outlast everybody else until you're the only one standing by then getting hundred percent of the market's attention.

    00:14:45 Catching Up
    Discusses a lesson that one should be greedy while others are scared and be scared when others are greedy. This tackles being competitive while also analyzing how to ride the market trends, not only just going to where everyone else is going but also striving to stand out instead of being drawn towards commoditization.

    00:25:56 Updates on Castaway and Productize
    Still at a mild-mannered situation as James is still exploring on his preferred tool set, still recovering slowly and getting some clients back. Mainly focusing on produtize at this moment, updating the course and exploring community angle, slowly building a business ecosystem. James is thinking of acquiring a small business and layering it into Castaway like an editing so it could handle a full spectrum of podcast production and promotion.

Discussions involve the idea that whatever you are doing or what your goal might be setting, one should multiply it by 10x because ultimately, you'll end up ahead, always striving to surpass expectations. (00:01:07) Uncommon results : uncommon effortsSharing lessons from Hormo Z's book where he likes doing more volume to learn faster, work a lot faster which will eventually result to succeding a lot faster. Most of the time, people expect that they will get uncommon result even just doing the same normal things. However, it was emphasized that if anyone wants to get uncommon results, exert an uncommon level of effort and live an uncommon life. (00:02:50) Best practice is the baselineReviewed over the base line of the things that should be done and nothing more assuring than make the best practice a standard. Key to that is always striving to take action instead of just staying stagnant, doing more effort, practicing more to be able to the get work done even faster. Moreover, one must hold oneself to imposed standrads, and act accordingly as everyone are commiting and dedicating their entire life basically to the single pursuit of whatever they are trying to do. (00:13:21) Allocate experience points like a game Compared skills updates on games with how work should be done. Increasing attributes is like allocating more experience, more hours and more focus on things which are important in a business. This is where productize and scale comes in because this will help in the idea of how to put people and processes in place. With productize, things can be brought up and turn into process rather than just randomly doing things. (00:28:06) Focus on what is important Knowing what's the focus is an advantage and a strength as it would enable the business to pave a way for the things of great significance and make sure it is done and executed well. It is also what being productive is like, alloting much time to things which are in the higher heirarchy and allocating proportionate amount of time to each, for example, tasks giving it more time, based on importance. TAKEAWAY LESSONDoing more with what you are doing is a good practice but upon working it is a must to consider a personal space as well. Strictly getting control and putting over boundaries between work and personal space is essential as to not exhaust the body and mental health. One must not bend ones life just so you can fit your employer's preferences, and remember to take into account a work and life balance.

    TIME STAMP AND KEY IDEAS

    (00:04:02) Pandemic Recession
    There are winners or losers in business. Some business might have gone outside the grid during the global economic downturn as their services are getting weak demands. On the other side of the globe, there are other business who found a way through the recession and came across great opportunities especially for alcohol, soap, disinfectant and hygeine focused companies.

    (00:04:48) Invest in Skills
    Even with the pandemic recession, some companies which had found an opportunity with the situation has been lacking with employees so they considered hiring people and reconsidering what their market looks like. Business tend to find a person at the right time and should give the right offer for them - more like finding someone which can take the work and produce quality result.

    (00:15:12) Manage Churn
    Tackled one of the things to be fearful of right now which is a retraction or churn. Sort of hassle to actually need more volume in order to get the same number of customers as preceding years but churn is what kills subscription and recurring billing companies. This highlights the important to be an account manager who actually cares and monitor to have more people use the service more.

    (00:19:15) AI Taking Over
    AI is eating the SEO world and is commonitized. AI is somehow as good as Castaway where it can affect the business prices. This raises concern that there is a tendency to either lose business or find a competitive edge and there is no way losing is an option. Having a clear understanding of what your clients need are then it must be an easy way to go as this will open up opportunities for the business.

    Lesson Takaway
    Despite everything, try not hitting the panic button immediately. There are plenty of people out there who can close better deals, it is not a necessity to sacrifice too much over little things and strive as not to get locked in a job you don't enjoy too much.

    Aug 3 2023

Came up with a few sharing of book lessons, experiences in our own hiring process to keep you guys informed on the things needed to focus upon delegating roles to save you some time, effort and money.As always, we also provide updates on Castaway and EditorNinja, which include...Hiring and testing out VAs for EditorNinjaAnnouncement of EdNinja's launch of editing for ai created content serviceCastaway Updates Moving Productize and Scale website from WordPress Power to GhostJames planning to launch more coursesSound interesting?

To make it short, hiring is somewhat similar to buying back your time and putting it in other stuffs which are actually of significance in the business. (00:06:14) Hiring is a bet on oneselfHiring is actually asking yourself if you can afford to hire somebody, or if you are in a position to actually bring somebody in. It's a process that needs to be delegated and outsourced carefully, looking for what's actually gonna move the needle. It was also tackled that oftentimes people make mistakes in hiring as they always focus on immediately hiring VA's or EA's without actually weighing in and asking themselves what roles am I delegating and I'm left to take on. (00:08:46) Don't just delegate the task, delegate the roleIt is good to get people to keep an eye on a task which is discussed by Dan highlighting how you don't just delegate task, you delegate the role and then they become responsible and accountable for that particular area. Delegating the role rather than the task will buy your time back, because it is as if you are replacing yourself by turning over that particular role to them and you just kind of move on to another role saving you 15-20% of your time which can be invested on other important matters.(00:10;56) Focus on something you are good at James talks about the idea of the accountability chart which kind of starts with picturing out what seats are needed to fill the in for the particular roles. Making a plan is essential and following a stairstep approach of hiring people to fill in those empty roles, as to only be left with ideally what business owners are good at. Basically focusing on what gives the highest value in the business and pouring attention into it.(00:17:29) Updates on EditorNinjaEditorNinja is currently hiring and testing out VAs from different countries, basically observing the process for a month or so to see which one will do better. Announced the launch of editing for ai created content service, which has blown up pumping a higher demand for the service. In addition, the base price for copy editing and proofreading has been raised a bit - more or less 15-20% - but also considering on stepping up to a higher level, like adding AI content updating, developmental editing, and a full high touch level where customers give out content and EditorNinja will do everything for them. (00:24:09) Updates from JamesSharing about how James is hiring three different roles which include writers, audio, and video editors then finding it quite challenging especially with the audio editor, since most entries sound almost the same with every applicant. In addition to hiring new talents, castaway is getting more opportunities from affiliate and referral relationships that can earn through promoting products/services. Another highlight is that James is trying to find a competitive edge or point of differenciation for castaway. As we encounter more of a commoditized product and services in the market, it is best to find a competitive edge over everyone else and make use of what makes a business unique and different from those catering the same service. (00:34:29) Productize and Scale Updates James discussed how he plans on moving Productize and Scale website from WordPress Power to Ghost because there is a theme with a more suitable directory. Also talked about planning to continue offering courses and launch sales ...

  • Entrepreneurship: Nature or Nurture?

    Entrepreneurship: Nature or Nurture?
    Jan 25 2023
    In this episode, we share our thoughts on whether we think entrepreneurship is a trait that's primarily driven by "Nature" (Ex: inherited through genetics) or "Nurture" (Ex: Self-taught or learned through non-familial environments). We also share business updates that cover a range of topics from conversion rate optimization to testing new ad channels.If that sounds like something you'd be interested in, you should give it a listen!Timestamps:(0:00:05) - Nature vs. Nurture in Entrepreneurship(0:06:44) - Risk-Averse Entrepreneurship(0:12:36) - Editor Ninja's Yearly Update(0:19:32) - Optimizing Conversion Rates(0:27:47) - Strategies for Growing Businesses(0:35:08) - Testing Advertising Channels(0:43:53) - Progress and Catch UpKey Ideas:(0:00:05) - Nature vs. Nurture in Entrepreneurship (7 Minutes)We explore the debate around nature versus nurture when it comes to entrepreneurship. It is suggested that, while there are certain innate tendencies that could lead someone to be an effective entrepreneur, it is the environment and people around them who will ultimately put them on the path towards entrepreneurship. It is proposed that, if someone was born into a household where entrepreneurship is already present, they will have a greater chance of becoming an entrepreneur themselves. The conversation further suggests that, while both nature and nurture have a role to play in entrepreneurship, the research on the impact of having entrepreneurial parents is yet to be seen.(0:06:44) - Risk-Averse Entrepreneurship (6 Minutes)'Risk aversion' and 'willingness to take risks' were discussed in the context of entrepreneurship. It was suggested that taking big risks can be dangerous as most of them crash and burn. There was also discussion on the importance of being a 'polymath' or having diverse interests, being able to learn from different areas, being okay with delayed gratification, and finding joy in the process rather than the outcome. Furthermore, the impact of parental entrepreneurship on children's entrepreneurship was discussed, citing a study from University of Chicago that found that parental entrepreneurship increases a child's probability of becoming an entrepreneur by 60%.(0:12:36) - EditorNinja's Yearly Update (7 Minutes)Editor Ninja' updates are discussed, with the speaker providing an overview of the business since the beginning of the year. Revenue has exceeded expectations, with three months in a row of around $8,000 in cash collected. The goal of creating a six-figure side hustle has been achieved, with volume increasing three times in the last six weeks. New offerings are being tested, along with a challenge to post content on YouTube shorts. A new conversion path was put live but is not working, prompting the speaker to consider how to rejigger it.(0:19:32) - Optimizing Conversion Rates (8 Minutes)This conversation covers a range of topics related to optimizing conversion rates on a website. It is suggested that the call to action should be more descriptive and that the highest burden for conversions would be if customers are asked to pay fifty dollars to start. It is also recommended to streamline the process by having customers sign up for an account, submit a document, and then have the opportunity to upgrade their account or switch to a different service package. To test this, three versions of the homepage with a different call to action should be tested. Lastly, it is suggested to offer a discounted cost or free document to get customers to try the service'(0:27:47) - Strategies for Growing Businesses (7 Minutes)This conversation focuses on the processes of conversion and automation, and how best to approach them. It looks at the importance of getting customers to take their first step with a business, and how to nurture them afterwards with automated emails and segmentation. The conversation then moves to the current situation of Castaway and Productize & Scale, and how leads and conversations are increasing, though difficulty arises when it comes to closing the deal. The two discuss the Black Friday promotion of Productize & Scale, which has almost reached the figure of last year, and how the funds could be used to reinvest in ads for Castaway.(0:35:08) - Testing Advertising Channels (9 Minutes)The conversation focuses around running ads for businesses and the experience of running ads for Editor Ninja. It is discussed that Google Ads can be a great tool for driving traffic and conversions, but that it is important to be mindful of the budget allocated. It is mentioned that newsletter sponsorships can be effective, but can also be costly. The importance of understanding the market and setting realistic expectations is discussed, as it can often take longer than people think to see results. Lastly, it is suggested to not give up too soon, as success can be just around the corner'

    (0:30:35) - Increasing Revenue With on Demand Services (5 Minutes)

    (0:35:11) - Building Out Offer Ladder for Customers (5 Minutes)
