The Prosperity Perspective

Host Liam Leonard is joined by investor and SaaS expert Jeroen Corthout to share why he hasn’t changed their investment strategy since day one. Investing in the business may be the best choice you can make for your own company. Staying close to your customers might be the other. Gain Jeroen’s full explanations on these and more here on The Prosperity Perspective.

3 Key Takeaways

• Don’t jump the gun when starting out in the SaaS and tech space. This means to troubleshoot with surveys and not to hire on extra people from the get-go. 
• One of the most overlooked necessities when it comes to SaaS is meeting with your clients. DON’T substitute this with a web sign-up form. 
• Invest back into the business; it will be one of your best calls. Keep a good eye on your available investment cash, however.

Today’s guest on The Prosperity Perspective dissects the hard truth of following the well-beaten path for entrepreneurs and coming up unhappy. Guest Chris Dayley will share his hard-learned experience with host Liam Leonard that you shouldn’t do what others are telling you to just because you don’t know what you want. Chris shares how much better his life was when he stopped trying to scale, focused on partner relationships, and even better prepared himself for a zombie apocalypse.

3 Key Takeaways

• Get yourself to a place where you can say no to clients who would be a bad fit. You will get so much more fulfillment when both parties are happy.
• Don’t force yourself into a business path just because it feels like the thing everyone else is doing. Chris was happier when he STOPPED scaling and sees more growth because of it.
• It is never a bad idea to invest in your self-development, even if that’s the only investment you are making for the business right now.
