Michelle Cordeiro Grant, Founder & CEO of GORGIE
SEASON 2 | EPISODE 2
Episode Highlights
- Selling your business. Don’t build just to sell. Assess acquisitions based on what’s best for your brand, team, and personal goals. Timing is crucial.
- Craft a compelling brand identity. Build your brand identity like a movie trailer. Use vivid imagery, motion, and impactful messaging to bring your vision to life and captivate your audience.
- Build an entrepreneurial team. Hire people who see challenges as puzzles to solve, not as impossible problems. Doing so can foster a collective company mindset geared toward innovation and growth.
- Follow the 80/20 rule. Focus on your unique 20%—your secret sauce—that truly defines your brand. The other 80% can actually align with your competitors.
