The economies of UnscaleEconomies of Scale: When Business Has Never Been Easier for the Little Guy

THIS IS THE TIME. The tide is turning. A series of breakthrough technologies and new business models are destroying the old rule that bigger is better.

By exploiting the vast (but cheap) audience afforded by the Internet and new media, and taking advantage of a host of modular services, small becomes the new big. The global business environment is decomposing into smaller yet more profitable

markets, so businesses can no longer rely on scaling up to compete, but must instead embrace a new economies of Unscale.

Stop Competing – Start Winning By InnovatingContrary to popular belief, competing with other individuals or companies is

counterproductive.

From a business perspective, focusing on your competition instead of focusing on continuous innovation by creating value through must have products, and services, will over time result in you looking and acting more like your competitors, not to mention

fighting an escalating battle over shrinking margins. So even when you’re in the lead, eventually someone else will copy what you are doing,

which makes you compete with them even more. Unfortunately, the majority of companies are so focused on competing that they’re locked in a losing battle – a vicious

cycle of one-upmanship.

And this is where it all starts

Thinking bigger about who you are and what you offer the

world in a unique way.

The secret to your success is within your grasp. It is always inside you.

I strongly believe that, whatever you’re passionate about, or what you’re good at, can turn into money, respect, drive loyalty, follower-ship and credibility.

It’s that simple. If you have a passion, a hobby, a product, a service, or even your own life experience, I need you to understand that you can reach the world with it, and get paid for it.

Page 15: Setting Your Start Up Business Apart. Presented by Sir Eric Seyram A, at The i space women entrepreneurs program

But howdo you become unique, follow your

passion, drive interest, follower-ship, loyalty and overall make a good living out

of what you do, and impact the world with it?

―Most successful men have not achieved their distinction by having some new talent or opportunity presented to them. They

have developed the opportunity that was at hand.– Bruce Barton

You can do more if you work on your personal Brand, be different, Stand out and shine to the world.

I challenge you to change your mind set and start thinking of your personal brand and what you want to offer to your market

in a different way.

Page 17: Setting Your Start Up Business Apart. Presented by Sir Eric Seyram A, at The i space women entrepreneurs program

We are in the Age of Personal InnovationWe all have to become innovators of our own careers and lives. Companies have always needed to innovate in order to stay relevant and competitive in their marketplace, but now so do YOU.

WE have to constantly evolve, adapt to new realities, be accountable for OURselves and think creatively if we want to survive.

I define Personal Innovation as the ability to see new opportunities where others don’t, create new positions/careers that never existed, while undergoing continuous learning and adapting to economic change.

Page 18: Setting Your Start Up Business Apart. Presented by Sir Eric Seyram A, at The i space women entrepreneurs program

Become An Authority in Your Field.Personal Branding is the process of unearthing your unique promise of value and demonstrating that value in everything you do. It’s about consistently being your best self so you achieve your goals while adding tremendous value to your team, organization and company.

It is about getting your target market to see you as the preferred choice. Building a slightly famous brand is not just about what you do; it's about what you do differently from everyone else.

Page 19: Setting Your Start Up Business Apart. Presented by Sir Eric Seyram A, at The i space women entrepreneurs program

A brand is a promise of the value your audience will receive.

In an amazingly complex and competing world—where it’s increasingly hard to know what’s real and what’s not—having your audience not only acknowledge but support the promise of your brand is the key to building a thriving BUSINESS.

A personal brand will help clearly and consistently define, express, and communicate who you are, who you serve, and why you have chosen to dedicate your life and work to serving your target market so that you can attract your most ideal clients and not those who are less than ideal.

Successful supper Brands drive passion excitement and loyalty and that accounts for the gains they make. Think about why you are so excited and passionate about that football club, that product and that celebrity. BRANDS ARE NOT JUST LOGOS, NAMES AND SOME TAGLINE, PUT EMOTIONS IN YOUR BRAND.

Moses and the Ten commandementsGOD: Moses, what is in your hand?Moses: it is a staff.God: Put it down.

THIS STAFF REPRESENTS THREE THINGS ABOUT MOSES. IDENTITY INCOME INFLUENCE SO I ASK, WHAT IS IN YOUR HANDS? WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH WHAT YOU ARE GIVEN?

. Tallent, background, connections, freedom, ideas, creativity, skills, personality etc?

Page 36: Setting Your Start Up Business Apart. Presented by Sir Eric Seyram A, at The i space women entrepreneurs program

So this is your take away.• People don’t buy what you sell, they buy why you sell it.

• We have moved from the commodities economy to a new experience economy. Your target audience desperately want an experience that is Authentic and creates a superior value for them. ( create a culture, a movement)

• Put emotions into your brands, it starts by telling your story, the story of who you are, why you do what you do and why people should even bother.
