Mini-Challenge · M9

Sell More Than The Product

PlayStation makes more on GAMES than on the console. McDonald's makes more on FRIES than on the burger. Apple makes more on APPS than on the iPhone.

Your challenge: Choose a product (lemonade, drawings, homework help...) and find 3 ways to earn MORE from the same customer: a complementary product, a premium option, and how to retain them.

Strategic Lesson

Successful companies earn on EVERYTHING, not just the main product. The "loss leader" is often not where the money is made. Always think: "What else can I sell to the same customer?"

Mini-Challenge · M2

The Leader's Matrix

Eisenhower led the Allied armies with this matrix. Tim Cook (Apple) uses it every morning. Warren Buffett says it made his fortune.

Your challenge: Classify your 4 tasks of the day in the matrix: Urgent+Important, Important only, Urgent only, or Neither. In what order should you tackle them?

Strategic Lesson

Leaders spend 80% of their time in the "Important but not urgent" box. That's where you BUILD your future: learning, preparing, thinking. People who fail spend their time putting out urgent fires!
