If you're a woman and not following/listening to theSkimm's 9-5ish podcast, you're truly missing out! In a recent episode, the co-founders of SUMMERSALT advised striving to act as a "shock absorber." This suggests not getting overly excited during highs and not being too hard on oneself during lows. It serves as a method to maintain focus when facing rapid fluctuations in emotions within a short time frame. Having encountered a swift shift between a high and a low on the same day recently, this advice served as a gentle reminder. 🤓 #focusforward #managingemotions #personalgrowth https://lnkd.in/eiaucgDw

Are you charging the right price for your products or services? Pricing is not just about supply and demand; it's a key element of your brand's perception. In marketing, price is one of the critical 'Ps' that can significantly shape how customers view your offerings. In a story shared by Patricia Zeigler, co-founder of Banana Republic, on the How I Built This podcast. Around the 28-minute mark, Patricia recounts how they initially struggled to sell their clothing at a flea market, barely covering the cost of renting the space. She decided it was because people did not recognize the value of the clothes, so the next week she more than doubled the price and they sold out of all of their merchandise. https://lnkd.in/eGmGY5hE #PricingStrategy #BrandPerception #MarketingTips #BusinessSuccess #Entrepreneurship #ValueBasedPricing #MarketingInsights #HowIBuiltThis #BananaRepublic #BusinessGrowth #SalesStrategy

For those seeking in-depth analyses of iconic companies, I highly recommend the Acquired Podcast. Hosts Ben Gilbert and David Rosenthal expertly guide listeners through the inception and growth trajectories of industry giants like Nike, Visa, NVIDIA, Costco, and Microsoft. Their recent episode on Starbucks was particularly enlightening. Key takeaways: 1. Howard Schultz didn't found Starbucks - he purchased it from the original founders, who then acquired Peet's Coffee. 2. Bill Gates Sr. played a crucial role in Schultz's acquisition of Starbucks (a fascinating story worth hearing in full). 3. Surprisingly, Schultz initially opposed the Frappuccino, now one of the chain's bestsellers. These stories underscore a common theme in business: even the most successful companies face near-death experiences. It's their ability to pivot and persevere that defines their success.
