Dirk van Reenen - A Great Challenge Means Great Opportunity - How to Build a Pivot Ready Business Team from Day 1 (AoL 180)
Full Show Notes: newinceptions.com/180
For a lot of business owners, the pandemic has cost them their livelihood. For example, Yelp! recently shared that 55% of the businesses using their platform which closed down due to the pandemic aren't coming back. What's a business team to do when you're looking at those kinds of numbers? How can you avoid having to close down?
The answer, I believe, is all about being able to make a pivot. And this is something we've been discussing in great detail on the show.
Unfortunately, for some business teams, pivoting might not be too obvious. Sure, curb service and delivery for some restaurants makes sense, but what if your restaurant wasn't so much a restaurant, but a bar? What if you're reliant on a market that's not doing so great right now such as realty?
Today's guest, Dirk van Reenen, excels at helping teams focus on the foundations of business and how they scale their businesses in ways that they might not have noticed before. In fact, with the future looking like things will be changing faster and faster, it's important that all businesses know how to quickly pivot.
So what does that look like? Well, the first thing is all about building the right team - and that's where today's conversation takes us.
Listen in as Andy and I learn more about Dirk's business BERGflow and how it might benefit those of us going through or preparing to go through a hard time.
Enjoy!
