Podcast Highlights

  • Who is Seth Merrin?

Seth always had the perspective of looking at what is, and how it can be made better. His experience early on with computers led him to think about how technology can disrupt current paradigms.

  • Solving Big Problems

Jim’s first company was focused on bringing Wall Street into the digital age.

You have to stack the deck in your favour and create an unfair competitive advantage. What are the biggest problems your prospects have that have not been solved? What is something that is just “the cost of doing business”?

There are huge problems in plain sight in virtually every industry, the question is can you see it.

  • The Power Of Positive Destruction

Remove the constraints and look at the problem from a completely new angle.

  • A Positive Impact

To create a truly positive business, you have to break down the problem and the current solutions.

Most people are stuck in their day to day activities, take some time off to walk back and look at opportunities to improve the business.

  • Industries Due For Disruption
  • Adopting A Positive Destruction Mindset

Look for the WTF moments in your business. Change your mindset to be “why do we do it this way and how can we make it better?”

Quantify your problems and solve the one that can either generate the most revenue or save the most money.

  • Building Bigger Companies

Make your pitch so compelling that your customer would feel stupid not to accept your offer.

Reference: The Power of Positive Destruction, Seth Merrin

  • Seth’s Takeaway

Failure is not an option, you have to have conviction and keep pushing forward. Companies often go out of business not because the idea is bad, but because they run out of money.

Look at business as a series of problems that need to be solved.
