Creativity House Podcast: Business Minimalism

More is more? Nja, inte alltid.

Den här veckan handlar Creativity House Podcast om Business Minimalism. Vi pratar om definitionen av minimalism och hur det tankesättet gynnar företagande. Vi jämför det traditionella tänket med att framgång  = pengar med det minimalistiska där framgång = frihet. Vi går igenom varför man ska ta sig an en minimalistisk approach till sin affärsidé (bye bye Joe of all trades!!) och vad man behöver göra för att komma dit.

Det här är den bästa definitionen av minimalism som jag har hittat:

“Minimalism is the intentional promotion of the things we most value by removing anything that distracts us from it. Please notice, minimalism is not about reducing the amount of everything. Quite the opposite: it is about reducing distractions to maximise more important pursuits.” – Joshua Becker

Tre frågor att ställa sig när man utvärderar sitt företag ur ett business minimalist perspektiv:

  1. Behöver vi det här? Var tjänar det för syfte?
  2. Gör det oss bättre? Eller har det negativ energi? (sparka alla kunder som ger negativ energi, och gör det asap!)
  3. Ger det oss en wow-faktor?

Creativity House Podcast: om att sticka ut.

Veckans avsnitt av Creativity House podcasten handlar om att sticka ut – bland konkurrenterna och överlag. De här personerna/företagen nämner vi i podden:

Volvo, Zara, Knut Koivisto, hundtränaren Linda Bodin (Hundorado) som var och en sticker ut på ett anmärkningsvärt sätt. Jag är säker på att du själv har en handfull personer eller varumärken som är extraordinära på det de gör. SPANA IN hur de gör och LÄR DIG!

Vi pratar om olika sätt att sticka ut på:

  • genom en inramning av ditt brand (grafiskt etc)
  • genom ett system eller en metod
  • genom en exceptionell kvalitet på hantverket

Om du väljer att förbli generisk och alltså inte sticka ut, då löper du risk för att behöva konkurrera med pris, snabbhet etc- inte sällan på bekostnad av kvalitet. Think about it!

Du kan lyssna på avsnittet på alla plattformar, eller direkt här:

Och kom ihåg Bill Gates:

Don’t compare yourself with anyone in this world. If you do so, you are insulting yourself.

Creative Business Thinking with Linda Hörnfeldt, Social Brand Lab.

In this episode I have the pleasure to speak to Linda Hörnfeldt, one of the people that I absolutely admire and use as a mentor (sometimes without them knowing that!) Linda, who calls herself an Influencer Strategist, is the founder of Influencers of Sweden, has a very popular blog lalinda.se plus two cool podcasts (search Linda Hörnfeldt on your favorite podcast app and you’ll find them) and recently released online course – the best online course that I have taken part in yet to date (and I have done quite a few!): Social Brand Lab. I am telling you, dear listeners – it’s the most well spend educational money! At the moment only in Swedish, but let’s keep our fingers crossed that this awesome course will be available in English one day. (Don’t worry, the episode is in English!)

We talk about what regular people can learn from influencers when it comes to creative business thinking – and what you need to do as an influencer to stand out. She gives hands on advice on what to do to level up your professional game and on how to get more followers on your social media platforms. Plus, since I love her so much, this is a conversation filled with warmth, boost and laughter. And some childhood memories from two computer nerds.

This episode is also available on YouTube, check it out here:

Creativity House Podcast: how to stand out with your business idea.

In this episode, I have the pleasure to talk to Malin Lindström of Aware Performance. She is one of the bravest entrepreneurs I know and a former student of mine at Axelsons Institute. With her amazing confidence, star quality and solid knowledge in her field (health and training), she caught my eye straight away and allowed me to follow on her professional journey.

We talk about bravery, having the guts to take your idea from good to great, how to handle failures and what it really takes to succeed. She also answers the classic question on what Creative Business Thinking means to her and who is her creative business inspiration. Follow Malin on Instagram at @awareperformanceab and @lindstrom_malin – and Adam Olin who made her fantastic logotype.
