Well, letâs just say that back in 2014, Microsoft was well, struggling hard. Their market shares were down, they had a not-so-stellar team culture, and they simply just lacked innovation overall compared to their competitors.

Did you know that a big (BIG!) chunk of sales actually comes from existing customers?
How big? Well, Iâm so glad you asked.
Think of it this way: research shows that, while most businesses make sales to anywhere between 5-20% of NEW customers, they close deals with 60-70% of EXISTING customers.
This means your likelihood of making a sale is doubled when targeting existing customers compared to acquiring new ones.
This is why your Customer Lifetime Value is so important to figure out and Iâm literally giving you the formula to compute it. (It quite possibly may be my favorite math equation to date!)

What if you treated your life like a puzzle?
Allow me to explain: when you approach a puzzle, you typically start by identifying the corners or edges.
Once you have your corners in place, you begin filling in the pieces, one by one. Each piece represents a small step or task that contributes to the larger picture.
Well, in life, progress is made by breaking down big goals into manageable tasks and tackling them one at a time. By focusing on completing one piece at a time (and not the whole picture), you gradually build momentum and move closer to your goal.
This was one of the many (MANY!) takeaways from recording this episode with my new friend Sahil Bloom, and of course, my temporary co-host Jen Gottlieb.

Wanna know the most important move youâll ever (EVER!) make in business?
⊠The first move.
⊠And then itâs the next move.
⊠And then itâs the one after that.
Hereâs the thing: I know (I know, I know) that making business moves before you feel ready FEELS very counterintuitive⊠and thatâs why few people do it. But itâs necessary.
And one of my favorite examples of this is Jason Phillips, CEO and founder of the Nutritional Coaching Institute.
When he started his business, he didn't wait for the perfect moment or until he felt completely prepared. Instead, he took action. He launched his coaching program, refined it through trial and error, and adapted based on feedback.
Spoiler alert: He actually just decided to shut down a $6M revenue stream in his business.

Be honest: have you ever felt so closely tied to somethingâŠ
⊠and then it was just, well, gone? poof
If so, then you know it can feel like your identity is being stripped away from you, forcing you to start over...again.
This is what Iâve learned: if something is being taken away from you, itâs because itâs time for you to let go for something bigger (and more aligned with your future). Itâs hard to leave situations (willingly) when theyâre comfortable, familiar, and certainâso, sometimes you are forced.
This is precisely the situation Hala Taha, LinkedIn, and Podcast Expert, found herself in when she was let go from her Hip Hop show on Hot 97, and shortly after, her MTV show was canceled. But, because Hala persevered, sheâs built a successful podcast and a profitable agency.
