Watching the Olympics, very few athletes succeed across a wide range of events. Similarly, have you ever wondered why corporate stars can struggle to shine in the startup arena? In large corporations, being indispensable often leads to rewards and recognition. But in startups, success comes from constantly replacing yourself as you scale. It’s about building systems, empowering teams, and fostering a culture where innovation thrives beyond any single individual. True growth is not about holding onto power, but about constant evolution. #StartupSuccess #Leadership #Innovation #Entrepreneurship

As the year draws to a close, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to all my incredible friends, business founders, and followers on LinkedIn. Your engagement, spirited debates, and shared entrepreneurial journeys have enriched my life. Let's take a moment to reflect on the progress we've made in the past year and how far we've come. It's essential to acknowledge our achievements, big or small, and the progress we’ve made. Feels good, doesn’t it. As we look ahead, into 2024, let's ask ourselves a pivotal question:… "If we were chatting a year from now, what would've had to happen for us to consider this year a resounding success?" 🤔 2024 holds boundless potential, and I'm excited to continue this journey with you. Together, we'll strive for even greater achievements and let’s vow to inspire each other to reach new heights. Here's to an extraordinary year ahead, and your many continued successes! 🚀 Cheers. #gratitude #NewYear #Entrepreneurship #startups #leadership #innovation #growthmindset #ecommerce #success

Managing a community can be really challenging! One moment these Founders and CEOs are really feeling you and what you do and another time they just choose to ignore you like you're just talking nonsense. Other times they just want to keep following all that you do back to back without saying or doing anything... It's all about seeing beyond this challenges, focusing on building a relationship with your audience, consistently giving out value and continuously improving yourself. When I first started managing this community, I was timid and often felt overwhelmed but thank God for growth and ease. Oh yes I manage Bloomfounder.com community of Founders and Business Leaders and I'm happy that although I'm not where I'm going yet, I'm not where I used to be. P.S if you're a startup founder or a business Leader check out Bloomfounder’s website https://bloomfounder.com/ and join our community today!

🌟 A New Perspective on Sharing Our Story 🌱 Last Saturday’s I hosted the last company beer tasting event of the year and realized an unexpected insight. 🍻✨ While engaging in conversations about our company's journey, our achievements, and our future aspirations, I had an epiphany. This wasn’t a pitch; it was a heartfelt sharing of our story, similar to the genuine interactions I had at Slush a few weeks back. It struck me that neither I nor my fellow founders need to "pitch" in the traditional sense. Our most impactful connections come from simply and sincerely talking about our experiences, our plans, and our passion for what we do. This realization is fully aligned with how I view interactions, be it with potential investors, clients, or even within our team. It’s not about a rehearsed pitch; it’s about authentic storytelling and sharing our company’s essence in every conversation. 🗣️💼 I’ve learned that authenticity resonates more than any pitch could. As we share our experiences and plans honestly, we naturally draw the right people and opportunities towards us. To my fellow entrepreneurs and founders: Let’s shift our approach. Let’s focus on genuine dialogue rather than pitching. You’ll be surprised at how powerful your true story can be. #Entrepreneurship #startups #Leadership #CompanyCulture #storytelling

JARGON BUSTER: Accelerator The term accelerator is thrown around all the time - but what does it mean? Who is it for? How can it help a founder? A start-up or business accelerator is a programme with key development components including mentorship, coaching, educational elements, and often finished with a product launch or pitching day. Sometimes they can be general for all business types, and others are more sector-specific, like the MSIP Accelerator which is focused on green-tech and clean-tech start-ups. Not only can these programmes build out your skill-set as a founder, but they can help grow your network, uncover new opportunities and solidify your business positioning with more confidence. #startup #accelerator #scaleup #greentech #growth #founder #entrepreneur #business #development #ceo

How do you scale your solution to reach more people and create more impact? You don't follow a fixed recipe. You experiment, iterate, and let your solution flourish in its own unique way. You think of it like planting a seed. You nurture its potential, and watch it blossom across diverse landscapes. You cultivate your solution's reach by: ↳ Exploring new markets, tailoring your approach to resonate with fresh audiences. ↳ Adapting your solution to different contexts, like a chameleon navigating diverse ecosystems. ↳ Teaming up with like-minded organisations, amplifying your impact through shared expertise. ↳ Embracing technology as your fertilizer, accelerating growth and optimising impact. Scaling isn't a one-size-fits-all recipe. It's a creative and adaptive process. And it's your way of making a difference. #Leadership #Startups #Management #Entrepreneurship
