BUSINESS MIND 💼

“Are you waiting for perfect? 🤔

The perfect timing, perfect opportunity, or perfect investment?

Here’s the truth: perfect doesn’t exist—and waiting for it only keeps you stuck.

When it comes to investing or getting life insurance, waiting until you’re 100% ready is a trap.

Instead, take action when you’re 50-80% ready. Progress beats perfection every time.

Don’t let fear keep you stagnant. Start building your future today—you deserve it! 🚀”

Warren Buffett's 5/25 Rule

▪️Make a list of 25 goals that you want to achieve

▪️Highlight the 5 most important things and start doing them

▪️Forget about the other 20!

Otherwise, they will distract you from the most important things!

✅ 3 signs of a failed startup

✅ Young startupers, take a look at these three unusual mistakes businessmen make when starting a company:

✅ Dividing the brand into parts. For example, the CEO decides to create a separate resource for a new product range, risking losing existing customers who are accustomed to this service.

✅ Incorrect market assessment. An error in such calculations will lead to loss of time and resources. Take a look: if you rely on products that no one is looking for, this can reduce the effectiveness of promotion.

✅ Focus on ideas, not on solving customer problems. Startups forget that the main “headache” of business is not innovation, but solving customer needs.‌‌

Three tricks that will help even the most indecisive people make a choice👇

▪️ Stop collecting information in time

Information is important, but the more data, the more confusion and doubt. In addition, research itself takes time and effort. Therefore, at some point you need to say “stop” to yourself and limit yourself to the knowledge that you already have.

▪️Set a deadline

The lack of an exact deadline makes you endlessly doubt, chew on the same information, worry - and postpone the decision.

▪️Make decisions in the morning

The researchers concluded that at the beginning of the day and after a break for rest, judges make more balanced and adequate decisions than in the evening, when they are tired and confused.
