The Secret to Real Leadership - Tony Robbins's Newsletter "The Edge"

 

"Anyone can be a leader. It's about answering the call." - Tony Robbins @tonyrobbins

I want to share a Tony Robbins's newsletter "The Edge" that expain about Leaders and Leadership. Here is it. Enjoy!
 

Here’s the truth Dzikra: Leadership has nothing to do with your title—and everything to do with your influence. 

I’ve worked with presidents, CEOs, and the world’s most powerful decision-makers. You know what separates the leaders who drive real change from those who just hold a position? 

They execute

It’s not the smartest person in the room who wins—it’s the one who takes massive action. Ideas are a dime a dozen. Execution? That’s where the real power is. 

But here’s the best part: You don’t need a title to be a leader. 

Leadership starts with you—your mindset, your emotions, your ability to follow through. If you can influence yourself to think bigger, to show up every day, and to push beyond your own limits—you can influence anyone. 

And that’s when everything changes. 

I wasn’t born into power. I didn’t have a fancy degree or some high-ranking position handed to me. I have a high school education. But what I did have was hunger. And a desire to serve. 

I became obsessed with understanding human behavior—why some people succeed while others settle. I sought out the best of the best, studied their strategies, and applied them relentlessly. 

And that’s how I built a life of impact—by focusing on influence over position and doing what others wouldn’t.

If you want to lead—really lead—here’s where to start. 

Lead yourself first – The strongest leaders take command of their inner world. Master your mind, your emotions, and your habits—because if you can’t lead yourself, how can you lead others? 

Execution beats intelligence – Knowledge isn't power; it's potential power. Execution beats knowledge any day of the week. It’s not what you know—it’s what you do that counts. Stop waiting for the perfect moment. Take massive action now and course-correct along the way. 

Model the best – Success leaves clues. Whatever you want—better health, stronger relationships, financial freedom—someone has already figured it out. Find those people. Study their strategies. And take action. 

So, here’s my challenge to you: 

Decide right now to be the leader of your own life. Decide to raise your standards. Take one action today that moves you closer to the life you want. Whether it’s making that tough decision, having that honest conversation, or committing to a new habit—do it today. 

Because real leadership doesn’t wait. It doesn’t need permission.

The time to lead is now. Will you step up? 

To your success and leadership,

Tony Robbins

Hyper-Personalization for MSME's Businesses - Exabytes Digital Day - 20th March 2025

 


Last week I attended Exabytes Digital Day with topic about hyper-personalization for MSME's Businesses.

To make MSMEs could compete with big entreprises, we could give services that implement hyper-personalization based on our customer's data and history. We could give offering by WhatsApp or Email using hyper-personalization based on the customer's purchasing data so it would give a personal and more relatable offering for the customer if we compare to what big entreprises did with mass and general offerings and advertisements.

I am also curious about how small websites could implement hyper-personalization on their websites based on the behavior and history from the customers, and the speaker said it's very possible to implement with cookies implementation even for websites which are using WordPress as CMS. It's such an insight!

Thanks Exabytes Indonesia @exabytes_id and CreativeQode @creativeqode_id for the event! I hope I could join the next event with other interesting topics ☺️☺️

Adaptasi konsep meritokrasi untuk akselerasi pertumbuhan ekonomi dalam negeri

Alexander Michael Tjahjadi, Universitas Atma Jaya Yogyakarta

Prabowo-Gibran, yang pencalonannya sebagai Presiden dan Wakil Presiden memantik kontroversi, mulai bekerja sejak 20 Oktober 2024.

Untuk mengawal pemerintahan mereka, kami menerbitkan edisi khusus #PantauPrabowo yang memuat isu-isu penting hasil pemetaan kami bersama TCID Author Network. Edisi ini turut mengevaluasi 10 tahun pemerintahan Joko Widodo, sekaligus menjadi bekal Prabowo-Gibran menjalankan tugasnya.


Pascapandemi Covid, pertumbuhan ekonomi Indonesia bisa stabil di tren positif. Pada tahun 2023, misalnya, meski melambat dari 5,21% pada tahun 2022, pertumbuhan ekonomi Indonesia bisa mencapai 5,05% meskipun pertumbuhannya masih ditopang oleh konsumsi.

Dengan tingkat pertumbuhan seperti itu, sulit dan menantang bagi Indonesia untuk mewujudkan loncatan dari kelas menengah menjadi kelas tinggi. Bahkan, Indonesia membutuhkan ‘mukjizat’ agar itu terjadi.

Sebagai acuan pembangunan nasional, Indonesia kerap menggunakan Rencana Pembangunan Jangka Menengah Nasional (RPJMN). Sayangnya target yang ditetapkan termasuk skenario-skenarionya kurang realistis. Hal ini tentu akan memengaruhi kepercayaan pasar terhadap kebijakan pemerintah.

Banyak aspek yang bisa pemerintah benahi agar bisa mengejar target pertumbuhan ekonominya. Namun, salah satu yang menurut saya perlu Pemerintahan Prabowo-Gibran terapkan adalah pendekatan meritokrasi.

Apa itu meritokrasi?

Meritokrasi adalah sistem yang menghargai kerja keras dan kemampuan, dibandingkan latar belakang keluarga. Namun, Claudia Goldin, pemenang nobel ekonomi 2023 menyebutkan tidak semudah itu meritokrasi terjadi. Meritokrasi mengedepankan filosofi bahwa keunggulan individu dan prestasi mereka seharusnya menjadi dasar utama untuk pengakuan, promosi, dan penghargaan dalam suatu masyarakat atau organisasi.

Namun, dalam perjalanannya, pendekatan ini sering kali dihadapkan terhadap pertimbangan emosi atau preferensi personal. Keduanya bernuansa subjektivitas karena favoritisme, ketidaksukaan, dan sejenisnya. Sistem seleksi atau pengakuan berbasis meritokrasi, harapannya, mampu memberikan keadilan untuk semua, karena prinsip kesetaraan kesempatan dan akses.

Masih terdapat beberapa celah penerapan meritokrasi, termasuk kualitas pendidikan yang ada tidak terstandard. Pelaksanaan meritokrasi tanpa persiapan pendidikan bisa menimbulkan ketimpangan yang semakin besar.

Di sisi lain, meritokrasi politik bisa menciptakan manfaat besar tetapi bisa berlangsung kontraproduktif jika kemampuan pemilihnya rendah.

Suksesi Cina yang bisa dijadikan contoh

Cina dapat menjadi salah satu rujukan penerapan meritokrasi. Meski sudah melewati tren booming-nya, ekonomi Cina mampu tumbuh di kisaran 6,6% pada 2018. IMF menyebutkan bahwa titik tertinggi pertumbuhan ekonomi Negeri Panda tersebut bahkan sampai 14,2% pada tahun 2007. Torehan ini turut mengangkat kesejahteraan dan juga kemakmuran masyarakat miskin.

Dari contoh yang ada, sebenarnya Indonesia bisa belajar banyak dari Cina tentang bagaimana membuat pertumbuhan yang berkelanjutan.

Salah satu yang bisa dipelajari adalah bagaimana Cina menggabungkan antara kebijakan ekonomi pasar dan juga beberapa instrumen negara. Mulai dari anjuran Presiden Cina Xi Jinping, bahwa semua pengejawantahan nilai nilai “Sosialisme model Cina” seharusnya bisa selaras dengan kepentingan pihak swasta. Hal ini tidak hanya menyebabkan pertumbuhan lebih terfokus, tetapi juga bisa sesuai dengan kepentingan negara.

Reformasi ekonomi di Cina adalah hasil dari sistem otoritarian yang tentu berbeda dengan sistem Pancasila Indonesia. Namun, sistem kompetisi yang dibangun Cina di level regional juga menjadikan mereka berlomba-lomba untuk tumbuh. Pemerintah pusat berusaha untuk mengontrol orang-orang yang ada di daerah, sedangkan pemerintah daerah yang menjalankan berbagai program untuk mendukung program pusat.

Merujuk kepada cara mengelola ekonomi daerah, Cina dapat menyeimbangkan antara bagaimana menggunakan mekanisme pasar dan juga aturan pemerintah. Kedua hal ini adalah cara untuk meningkatkan pertumbuhan ekonomi yang berkelanjutan.

Salah satu hal yang direncanakan Cina sejak tahun 2023, adalah pembangunan industri yang berteknologi tinggi, hal ini termasuk beberapa hal seperti semikonduktor yang bisa menyokong teknologi digital di masa depan. Lewat inovasi tersebut, Cina berharap bisa mengintegrasikan teknologinya dengan perkembangan industrialisasi. Industri baru yang dimaksudkan oleh Xi adalah manufaktur, kualitas produk, aeronotika, transportasi, luar angkasa, termasuk teknologi digital.

Meski demikian, pembangunan regional yang berkelanjutan juga tidak tanpa masalah. Cina turut menghadapi klientalisme, yakni perusahan-perusahaan yang punya hubungan politik justru mendapatkan keuntungan. Namun, pertumbuhan tetap terjadi karena sistem negara dan BUMN Cina memiliki restriksi yang berbeda. Perbedaannya adalah uang untuk pembangunan tidak masuk ke pihak swasta tetapi menggerakan pajak lokal sehingga ada manfaat yang lebih besar.

Terdapat dua hal yang Cina lakukan untuk membangun kapasitasnya. Pertama yaitu kombinasi tata kelola lewat demokrasi liberal yang dinamakan meritokrasi politik. Tujuannya adalah mengangkat bukan hanya berdasarkan voting tetapi kapasitas kepemimpinan.

Hal kedua yaitu model campuran tiga sistem pengambilan keputusan, yakni voting dan nominasi publik tetapi masih ditinjau oleh partai komunis. Kedua hal itu dilakukan agar kapasitas pemerintah bisa berkembang dan bukan memperburuknya dengan klientelisme.

Apa yang Indonesia dapat pelajari

Setidaknya ada 3 hal yang bisa dilakukan oleh pemerintah Indonesia bisa lakukan jika ingin melakukan pendekatan meritokrasi secara mendalam.

Pertama, yaitu mengintegrasikan kebijakan pasar dengan instrumen pemerintah. Untuk mencapai pertumbuhan tinggi. Hal yang perlu dilakukan adalah memberikan stimulus agar terjadi iklim persaingan yang sehat sehingga timbul inovasi.

Jika pemerintah memberikan subsidi terus menerus maka perusahaan swasta tidak bisa berinovasi dengan baik. Berbagai cara bisa dilakukan yaitu untuk membuat zona pembangunan khusus sepeti kawasan ekonomi khusus terpadu dengan calon investor yang bisa mendanai.

Kedua adalah pembangunan regional yang terarah. PNS di daerah bisa meniru budaya meritokrasi agar arahan dan kontrol kebijakan selaras dengan tujuan nasional, sekaligus kompetensi dan pengetahuan daerah itu sendiri. Kompetisi yang sehat antardaerah ini berpotensi mendukung program-program nasional, sehingga kebijakan nasional dan daerah bisa terhubung.

Ketiga, pemerintah dapat memulai pembangunan teknologi digital, hal ini sejalan dengan program “hilirisasi digital” . Salah satu yang bisa dilakukan adalah berfokus pada pengembangan ekosistem startup digital dan juga penguatan infrastruktur digital dan cloud lokal. Ini akan membantu UMKM agar bisa memperlancar aksesibilitas internet mereka dan mengurangi biaya.The Conversation

Serba-serbi ekonomi restoratif: bersinambungan antar ekonomi dan lingkungan

Achmad Hanif Imaduddin, Center of Economic and Law Studies (CELIOS)

Kemajuan peradaban manusia telah mendorong eksploitasi besar-besaran terhadap bumi. United Nations Environment Programme mencatat sejak revolusi industri 1.0 pada abad ke-18, sebanyak 87% lahan basah global hilang. Padahal, lahan basah merupakan habitat alami flora dan fauna, sumber air bersih, dan sumber resapan air pencegah banjir.

Puncak akselerasi kehancuran ekosistem terjadi sejak 50 tahun terakhir. Dalam kurun waktu ini, manusia mendegradasi lebih dari 2 miliar hektare lahan.

Fenomena ini membawa kita kepada dua wawasan kritis. Pertama, dunia masih bergerak lamban dalam menghadapi krisis iklim dan agenda transisi energi. Kedua, misi berkelanjutan seakan berlawanan dengan pertumbuhan dan kegiatan ekonomi, terutama sektor ekstraktif yang dinilai lebih praktis dan menguntungkan secara ekonomis.

Mengenal ekonomi restoratif

Kerusakan lingkungan yang kian parah memicu keresahan bagi para pemerhati lingkungan untuk menggagas model ekonomi yang lebih progresif dan ramah lingkungan, yaitu ekonomi restoratif. Istilah ini dipopulerkan oleh pengusaha dan pakar lingkungan asal Amerika, Paul Hawken, pada 1993. Dalam bukunya The Ecology of Commerce, Hawken mengatakan “restorasi adalah mengembalikan sesuatu ke kondisi semula”.

Semangat ide ini disambut baik oleh Ekonom Oxford Kate Raworth pada 2012 melalui bukunya Doughtnut Economics: Seven Ways to Think Like a 21st-Century Economist. Raworth sepakat bahwa manusia modern tidak bisa lagi berpikir jika pertumbuhan ekonomi dapat dipacu ugal-ugalan karena batasan dan beban ekologi.

Keserakahan ekonomi ini berujung pada kerusakan alam yang fatal seperti perubahan iklim, degradasi lahan, hingga penipisan lapisan ozon. Pandangan ini secara umum turut mengkritisi model ekonomi arus utama yang hanya mengukur pertumbuhan ekonomi dari Produk Domestik Bruto (PDB), tanpa mempertimbangkan dampaknya secara menyeluruh terhadap keberlanjutan alam dan komunitas sosial.

Gagasan dan model ekonomi prolingkungan ini memang menjadi perdebatan dan menimbulkan pertanyaan mengenai sampai sejauh apa restorasi yang dimaksud. Sebab, tidak mungkin mengembalikan pencapaian peradaban manusia yang sudah sangat modern ini kembali ke era berburu dan bercocok tanam.

Untuk menjawab hal ini, kita bisa menengok kembali kebijakan normalisasi kali Ciliwung di Jakarta yang bisa dijadikan contoh populer kebijakan ekonomi restoratif. Program ini mengatasi banjir tahunan yang berdampak terhadap aktivitas ekonomi nasional dengan membenahi aspek lingkungan.

Apa perbedaan ekonomi restoratif dengan ekonomi sirkular dan regeneratif?

Dalam forum akademis, ekonomi restoratif kerap dipertentangkan dengan ekonomi regeneratif. Sedangkan dalam media massa, istilah ini kalah populer dibandingkan ekonomi sirkular. Meskipun sama-sama menekankan pada keberlanjutan, ketiganya memiliki karakteristiknya tersendiri.

Ekonomi restoratif fokus pada perbaikan dan pengembalian alam ke kondisi semula. Adapun ekonomi regeneratif adalah membuat sesuatu lebih baik lagi. Artinya, regenerasi merupakan bentuk peningkatan dari restorasi atau pemulihan.

Dua pengertian ini melahirkan implikasi bahwa praktik restoratif lebih mudah digapai. Kewajiban para pemangku kepentingan hanya sebatas mengembalikan kerusakan lingkungan ke kondisi semula akibat dari kegiatan mereka.

Sementara itu, orientasi utama ekonomi sirkular adalah meminimalkan limbah dan memaksimalkan efisiensi sumber daya dengan menciptakan sistem siklus tertutup. Ini terinspirasi dari proses siklus alam agar produk dan material dapat terus digunakan kembali.

Tabel 1. Perbedaan Utama Ekonomi Restoratif, Sirkular, dan Regeneratif

Tabel di atas menunjukkan bahwa ketiga model ekonomi memiliki karakteristik dan pendekatannya tersendiri. Perbedaan ini tidak dimaknai sebagai hal yang bertentangan, tetapi sebagai hal yang saling melengkapi dalam kerangka pembangunan berkelanjutan.

Tetap bisa mendulang keuntungan

Yang tidak kalah penting, ekonomi restoratif tetap menawarkan sejumlah potensi keuntungan ekonomis. Sebuah studi menunjukkan setiap Rp16 ribu yang diinvestasikan untuk merestorasi lahan berpotensi menghasilkan manfaat ekonomi sebesar Rp112 ribu-Rp480 ribu karena pemulihan alam justru menyediakan peluang ekonomis tambahan.

Cambridge Econometrics memperkirakan setiap Rp20 ribu yang dibelanjakan untuk reboisasi membuahkan imbal balik ekonomi dan sosial senilai sekitar Rp55,8 ribu. Manfaat serupa muncul dalam upaya restorasi gambut dan rawa yang dapat memberikan manfaat balik sekitar Rp92,4 ribu dan Rp26,2 ribu.

Manfaat ekonomis yang dimaksud dapat berupa penciptaan kerja dan nilai tambah bruto. Sedangkan manfaat sosial lebih merujuk pada peningkatan kualitas air, pengurangan risiko banjir, peningkatan keanekaragam hayati, hingga pelestarian situs ekologi.

Prinsip-prinsip ekonomi restoratif dapat juga diterapkan secara praktis oleh masyarakat hingga ke level akar rumput. Sebagai contoh, Wahana Lingkungan Hidup (Walhi) memulai gerakan ekonomi restoratif melalui inisiatif Ekonomi Nusantara.

Sejak diluncurkan pada 2021, program ini telah melibatkan 199.767 kepala keluarga di 28 provinsi, termasuk Sumatera Selatan, Bengkulu, dan Kalimantan Timur. Walhi mendampingi pengelolaan 1,3 juta hektare lahan komunitas dari lima lanskap ekologis, mulai dari gambut hingga hutan. Sebagai hasilnya, Walhi berhasil mengidentifikasi 77 sumber pangan potensial dan memulihkan hutan di Desa Ibun, Jawa Barat, yang kini mendukung ekonomi lokal.

Prinsip ekonomi restoratif juga diterapkan di Desa Pigapu, Iwaka, Papua, melalui pengelolaan hutan sosial. Program ini melibatkan 77 perempuan dan 33 laki-laki dalam tujuh Kelompok Usaha Perhutanan Sosial untuk mengelola hasil hutan non-kayu dan jasa lingkungan, seperti ekowisata. Mereka juga diberi akses pelatihan bisnis, pengembangan produk, dan perizinan usaha yang didampingi oleh Yayasan Ekologi Sahul Lestari dan didanai oleh The Asia Foundation.

Dilaksanakan sejak 2022, program ini berhasil menerbitkan legalitas usaha untuk empat kelompok usaha pangan, satu kelompok anyaman, satu tanaman hias, dan satu ekowisata. Desa Pigapu kini menjadi destinasi ekowisata lokal dengan 29 pemandu wisata dan tiga di antaranya bersertifikasi.

Negara masih lebih memilih laju pertumbuhan ekonomi ketimbang lingkungan

Masih banyak negara yang belum menunjukkan komitmen kuat terhadap upaya pemulihan dan perlindungan lingkungan. Sebagai contoh, pemerintah Indonesia membuka kembali ekspor pasir laut yang telah ditutup selama 20 tahun. Kebijakan ini berpotensi merusak ekosistem pesisir dan mengancam mata pencaharian para nelayan.

Tidak hanya Indonesia yang masih lesu dalam kebijakan prolingkungan. Negara-negara maju yang sering mengampanyekan pembangunan berkelanjutan pun masih ‘maju-mundur’ dalam menerapkan inisiatif ini.

Berikut contoh-contohnya:

  1. Jepang menghadirkan ‘solusi palsu’ untuk pensiun dini PLTU Batu Bara dengan mengembangkan teknologi co-firing serta penyimpan dan penangkap karbon (CCS).

  2. Inggris menunda larangan penjualan mobil berbahan bakar fosil hingga 2030.

  3. Sebagian besar masyarakat dan elite politik di Italia, Jerman, Polandia, dan Belanda turut menunjukkan resistansi terhadap kebijakan ramah lingkungan.

Contoh ini dipertegas dengan kajian Bank Dunia yang menyatakan belum ada negara yang bisa secara efektif mengurangi emisi karbonnya sembari tetap menjaga laju pertumbuhan ekonominya. Tidak berlebihan jika penulis dan jurnalis peraih Pulitzer asal Amerika Serikat, Elizabeth Kolbert, beranggapan manusia sedang memproses kepunahannya sendiri.

Oleh karena itu, kemunculan ekonomi restoratif harus menjadi perhatian bersama. Inisiatif ini perlu diutamakan oleh pemerintah dan sektor swasta, bukan hanya organisasi lingkungan. Hanya dengan komitmen dan tindakan nyata, kita bisa mencapai keseimbangan antara kemajuan ekonomi dan kelestarian lingkungan.The Conversation

Sweet Memory in Ramadan with My Late Father

 


I want to share a story, a sweet story, from my late father about my Ramadan experience when I was a child.

I and my father usually waited Adzan Maghrib with chit chat and watching television, and there was a habit from us when we were waiting for ifthar time and Adzan Maghrib, we usually switched the channel from Metro TV, his favorite news channel, to TVRI Jabar to hear Adzan Maghrib for Bandung Region.

The uniqueness from TVRI Jabar was the channel only had several commercial advertisement from several products, one of them was "Susu Bantal", and the commercial advertisement had the same order because as a local TV, it had just a few commercial advertisement with the same order in the same time.

So when the time to Adzan Maghrib was just in several minutes, my father or me, would switched the TV channel from Metro TV to TVRI Jabar, and we would guess what was the commercial advertisement appeared in the time we switched the channel, because what I said before the advertisement was just a few and had the same order. It was a simple game whose my father and I did together.

We would laugh together if our guessing was right. A sweet and simple memory with my late father in Ramadan Moment ☺️☺️❤️ Al-Fatihah for Him..

"Developing Digital Marketing Expertise for Business Growth" Webinar Organized by @karier_unpad

 



Last Friday, on February 28, I joined a webinar about "Developing Digital Marketing Expertise for Business Growth" organized by @karier_unpad with the speaker Mr. Rivani @rivaniadinegara , a Lecturer at UNPAD.

Mr. Rivani provoked us, the students, to develop our digital marketing skills using the internet, because for him the best teacher to develop the fast-changing and dynamic digital marketing right now are "Mbah Google" and "Mbah YouTube", of course besides online courses from formal and informal institution, books and e-books, and university lectures. But Google and YouTube are free-resources and good starting points for following the fast-changing materials and updates of digital marketing.

I want to share a slide screenshot from Mr. Rivani @rivaniadinegara about the digitalization concept of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). It consists of the digital identity, the digital promotion, the digital market, and the digital finance. If the MSEMs could implement this concept, they have a chance to develop their digital marketing implementation smoothly.

For me, I implement this concept to develop Dzikra Yuhasyra's eCommerce @dzikrayuhasyrasecommerce on https://dzikraecommerce.my.id I try to utilize the digitalization and digital marketing to improve the Dzikra Yuhasyra's eCommerce services, and one of them is using Midtrans @midtransindonesia as a payment gateway on my website.

Thanks to Mr. Rivani for provoking us! I hope I could improve my digital marketing skills to boost my business growth and also implement it on other occasions and fields.

Thanks @karier_unpad for the events! It's really insightful and eye-opening..

The Goals of Ramadan

 

"Wahai orang-orang yang beriman! Diwajibkan atas kamu berpuasa sebagaimana diwajibkan atas orang sebelum kamu agar kamu bertakwa"

Q.S. Al-Baqarah: 183

Marhaban ya Ramadhan..

Semoga kita termasuk golongan orang yang berbahagia saat Ramadhan tiba. Aamiin..

Diingatkan oleh Penceramah Sholat Tarawih tadi bahwa goals dan tujuan bulan Ramadhan bukan Lebaran, mungkin kita memang berbahagia saat Lebaran dan itu baik, tapi bukan Lebaran tujuan dan goals dari bulan Ramadhan, tapi sebagaimana dalam ayat termasyur di atas, tujuan dan goals dari bulan Ramadhan adalah tattaquun, "Menjadi Orang yang Bertakwa", yang bahkan akan dianggap sukses apabila goals ketakwaan itu bisa dipertahankan setelah bulan Ramadhan itu sendiri selesai yaitu di bulan Dzulqaidah, Dzulhijjah, dan bulan-bulan setelah nya sampai bulan Sya'ban lalu bertemu Ramadhan selanjutnya.

Today, on the first day of Ramadan, I also joined CVS Level-Up @cettavirtualsociety about setting goals from Ci Monic @monica_milan Remembering what I said before about goals of Ramadan, Ci Monic also encouraged us to be consistent about reaching our goals. Be disciplined and consistent, but also make the journey fun and enjoyable, as we try to achieve the goals of Ramadan which is tattaquun, become a person with Taqwa.

Let's celebrate this Ramadan, and achieve our goals! Yes we can!

The Three Keys to Grow Any Business by Tony Robbins


The Three Keys to Grow Any Business


Tony Robbins told about the Three Keys to Grow Any Business, and here they are:

1. Who is your Ideal Client?
2. What is your Irresistible Offer?
3. Give & Over Deliver

The first key is we must know who is the ideal client of our product. If we didn't know who is our ideal client, we will never make a product that solve the problems of our customer, give values to them, and have retention from our customer. Tony told a story about Domino's Pizza. The founder try to know and dig who is the biggest customer of pizza, and from his research the answer is college students. So, he was founded the restaurant near university and it was exploded, because he knew who was the ideal customer for his product.

The second key is we must give our irresistible offer to our customer. Back to Domino's Pizza story, when a guy called the founder and complaining that the pizza delivery always came late after two hours then the pizza was cold, he offered to the guy an irresistible offer called "Hot Pizza Comes in 30 Minutes, or It's Free" and he tried to approved to the guy. The result was awesome, the pizza delivered in 25 minutes and the guy was very satisfied. The irresistible offer is working and building the trust to the customer.

The third key is we must give and over deliver. We give not just a product or service to the customer, but also our values, principles, and benefits. We must always give and over deliver to our customer.

And the principle that makes us succed is focus on what we want, not what we fear and develop the mental resilience to achieve extraordinary results in life and business.


Thanks Tony Robbins! @tonyrobbins

Three Pillars of Success by Tony Robbins

 

Three Pillars of Success by Tony Robbins @tonyrobbins 

1. Get Laser Focused

We must know specifically what we want, and more importantly why we want it. After we know the what and why, get our focus on it. Clarity is power, more the whats and whys are clear, more we can get our focus and power.

2. Proven Strategy

After we know what we want and why we want it, the next step is trying to get the Proven Strategy. The differences between us and them that are successful is they apply and implement different and proven srategy to get their results but we still don't know how to gain the steps and strategy that we should apply. One simple proven strategy will save our businesses and lives for a long term and prohibit us from failure. Get the proven strategy from the best experts and let us implement their formulas. It will be shorten our time to get successful results.

3. Eliminate Inner Conflicts and Get Clear Inner Motivation

If we want to be successful person we should avoid inner conflict that usually comes in our mind. Like we want to be rich and successful but we don't want the people judge us for our successed. It's a inner conflict that we should avoid, because in reality the consequences for being rich and successful is the people will judge us, not judging themselves. Another example is we want to be successful but we don't want to be diligent and doing hardwork. It's another example that we must avoid, because of course to gain success we must be consistent, diligent, and doing hardwork with the proven strategy. When we can eliminate inner conflict, we can get clear inner motivation.

Core Nature, Core Skill Set, and Core Values to Create Our Career Path as Entrepreneur or Employee

 


I have finished watching and learning Ashley Stahl @ashleystahl course on MasterMind.com @mastermind.com_official about how to shift from an employee to become an entrepreneur. I learned about Core Nature, Core Skill Set, and Core Values that should suit with our career path at least in 70 % of what we are working and doing right now. 
 
Core Nature is the energy you bring into the room; ask peers and family to help identify your essence.
 
Core Skill Set is your zone of genius, focuses in the unique skills you are gifted at, not about passion or love.
 
Core Values are your guiding filter for decisions, shaping your career and life principles. 

Core nature refers to the fundamental attributes and characteristics that define an individual's essence. It's about understanding who you naturally are, including your innate tendencies, desires, and how these align with your sense of purpose or identity. This involves self-awareness and clarity about your motivations, which can guide your choices and interactions in personal and professional contexts. Understanding one's core nature is essential for aligning actions and goals with authentic personal identity.

A core skill set can be defined as a group of fundamental abilities and proficiencies that are critical for executing specific functions or roles effectively. These skills are foundational and often form the basis for more advanced skills. Developing a core skill set involves honing abilities that are essential for success in one's area of focus, whether it be business, coaching, or another discipline. These skills can include communication, technical expertise, strategic thinking, and problem-solving. For example, storytelling is highlighted as a foundational skill that is essential in various aspects of life and business.

Core values refer to the essential beliefs and principles that guide an individual's behavior and decision-making. They form the ethical foundation upon which personal and professional lives are built. Core values dictate priorities, influence interactions with others, and help individuals decide between right and wrong. In the context of coaching or business relationships, for instance, core values play a significant role in defining professional boundaries and goals.

These concepts are vital in developing effective personal and professional relationships and building a life and business aligned with one's true self. They guide actions, influence behaviors, and aid in creating meaningful connections with others. If you're interested in developing any of these areas further, it might be helpful to explore specific courses or resources that concentrate on self-awareness, skill development, and value alignment.
 
I asked GG, Mastermind's AI about what kind of businesses and services that suit with my core nature, skill set, and values, and here is her answer:
 
Question:
 
I want to know what kind of businesses and services that suit with my core nature, skill set, and value. My core nature is growth and energize, my skill sets are builder, service, words, and analysis, my core values are growth, impact, integrity, inspiration, and kindness. Please give me explanation about 10 kinds of businesses and services that suit with them!
 
Answer:
 
Based on your core nature of growth and energizing, your skills in building, service, words, and analysis, and your values of growth, impact, integrity, inspiration, and kindness, here are ten business ideas that resonate with these attributes:
 
1. Personal Coaching & Development Programs: Utilize your nature and skills to offer personal development courses that focus on growth and transformation. This aligns with your value of impact and inspiration.
 
2. Motivational Speaking and Workshops: Leverage your skill in words and passion for energizing others to conduct workshops and seminars that inspire and motivate individuals and teams.
 
3. Community-based Online Platform: Create an online community platform where people gather to share, learn, and grow together. This would enable you to build and offer services that enhance connection and personal growth.
 
4. Business Consulting & Strategy Development: Use your analytical skills to consult businesses on growth strategies, ensuring your work aligns with principles of integrity and impact.
 
5. Content Creation and Copywriting: Engage your skill in words through content creation, focusing on developing impactful and inspiring content that fosters growth and connection.
 
6. Health and Wellness Coaching: Enrich lives by providing personalized health coaching that emphasizes personal growth, integrity, and well-being.
