Hit the Ground Running Show Notes

Jason Jennings’ Rules for New Entrepreneurs:

1. Make your value proposition incredibly simple.
   – This is the business we’re in.
   – This is what we do.
   – Here’s who we bring value to.
   – Here’s how we positively impact lives.
   – Here’s how we monetize that.
   – Here’s how it’s good for everybody. 

   If you cannot answer these questions within 60 seconds, Jason says “You don’t have a business model worth sneezing at.”

2. Everyone must know your strategy
   – Employees don’t know why they do what they’re doing.
   – They allow corners to be cut and illegal/unethical activities to be engaged.
   – They offer no accountability.
3. Don’t waste time studying the competition.
   – Instead, study your customer.
