Author Eric Ries offers stimulating new ideas to help a company stay lean and agile and provides innovative insights that can help you build a sustainable business.

Adopting lean manufacturing practices can help you reduce product failures by bringing structure and science to your entrepreneurial passion. Learn from iconic car maker Toyota’s experiences to avoid risks, evaluate early signals from the market and eliminate waste to create a lean, sustainable business venture.

Why Startups Need Lean Lessons From Toyota

Author Eric Ries argues that entrepreneurs should liken the launch of their startups to driving a car, rather than steering a rocket. Find out why in this video.

As a startup entrepreneur, you may not know the market and your customers all that well, so stay flexible and agile and be prepared to deal with ambiguities.

Both the conventional rule book and radical, non-disciplined methodologies fail in unpredictable startup environments. So what is the right way to deal with uncertainty? Find out in this episode.

Fight Uncertainty Through Validated Learning

Adopt a scientific, research-based, data-driven approach to verify your assumptions and keep learning about your ideas, offerings and customers to build a sustainable business.

To build a lean, successful business, it is important to focus on the essential elements to avoid wasting time and resources. Learn how to eliminate waste in this video.

Make sure any activity you undertake makes a positive contribution to your business by seeking feedback at every stage, before you invest significant time and resources on it.

Build a minimum viable product (MVP) to test key elements of your business idea with potential customers to gauge their response rates against your expectations.

It is easy to lose sight of the real picture by getting trapped in top line metrics. Ries explains the kind of metrics you should look out for to garner a true sense of the success of your business idea.

Not getting the desired results while working on your venture? Learn how pivoting helps with course correction can help achieve successful outcomes.

If your metrics aren’t indicating sustainability, rework your strategy using what you have built and learnt so far to ensure that your business remains viable.

Arguing against conventional wisdom, Ries advices completing tasks in small batches to maintain efficiency. Find out how this helps in the early stages of your launch, in this video.

Quality checks, error detection and design tweaks are easier and more efficient when carried out in small batches, as they minimize the time and resource loop.

According to Seth Godin, a Linchpin is someone who offers such unique value to an organization because of their ability to innovate, find solutions or just connect with people, that they become indispensable for that organization. Godin also argues that it is a skill that can be acquired. This series teaches you how to cultivate the inner genius within you to make yourself the irreplaceable linchpin that all good companies crave.

Linchpin: Are You Indispensable? By Seth Godin

Are you someone who finds solutions to impossible problems? Do you make things happen? Do you always deliver projects on time, no matter how tough the ask? Then you are a linchpin. Understand how to cultivate the right mindset and define yourself through your work and interactions to emerge as an indispensable asset.

Godin argues that the assembly-line way of thinking is now passé. It is time to grow from simply following instructions to finding innovative solutions and new ways of doing things. Let's learn how in this video.

Consumers today do not like to settle for mass-produced, run-of-the-mill products. As a linchpin, strive to make your business one that delivers unique products and services with passion and enthusiasm.

Linchpins are not born with magical talent. They train themselves into becoming irreplaceable by performing something of novel value. Understand how to train yourself to become a linchpin in this video.

To become irreplaceable, you need to stand up and, instead of following the beaten path, be remarkable in your work and generous and attentive in your interactions.

Godin argues that if you are remarkable or amazing, you should not have a resume. Find out his reasoning in this episode.

Define yourself by your work and your interactions, don’t let a resume define you.

Understand what Seth Godin describes as ‘emotional labor’ and how it leads you towards becoming indispensable in this video.

Putting in your best when engaging or interacting with others, and building it into a habit leads eventually to long-time growth outcomes.

In this episode, Godin explains what it takes to be an artist within your profession. Understand why he says art is about intent and communication, not substances.

In order to stand out, treat all your interactions as a gift. If you do it for money or returns, they lose their value. Focus your intent on making interactions more meaningful.

Fear and anxiety can get in your way towards becoming a linchpin as it prevents creative thought. Understand how to deal with anxiety and move on to prevent yourself from getting caught in a vicious cycle.

When feeling anxious, instead of rushing out to seek reassurance, embrace it and sit with it. You will find it rides it out with reality, losing its power over you.

What makes linchpins indispensable is their power to pull off impossible projects. Yet, they too are often confronted with resistance. Learn how utilising speed sprints can take away the distractions caused by resistance.

To quickly overcome resistance to creativity and risk-taking, consider using sprinting as a way to focus attention away from resistance towards speed and delivery.

True linchpins deliver on ideas. Learn how to overcome resistance and ensure you always deliver on time.

Develop the right attitude to overcome all mental blocks towards ensuring delivery. Ensure you have the due date pinned up and remind yourself that you have to deliver on that date.

How is mindset formed and is it possible to develop one that is cued in to success? This series tells you how to move from a fixed attitude to one that fuels your journey.

We are all born with several skillsets yet it is possible to hone the growth mindset. Research proves that we are capable of propelling our progress or stunting the journey. So, what are you doing for a positive transformation?

A growth mindset is the belief that with effort and learning, we can cultivate and develop new skills. Our mindset can help or hinder our ability to fulfill our potential.

Reach the next level in four steps -- accept, challenge mindsets, talk yourself into exploring boundaries, and consistently work on yourself.

Changing from fixed to growth mindset requires time, effort and courage. The first step is believing you can.

The human brain likes to learn new things. Continuous learning stimulates neurogenesis that allows it to rewire itself. It is time to break out of old patterns and pick up a new skill or knowledge.

Humans love to learn and are naturally wired for a growth mindset. Continuous learning keeps our brains healthy and prepares us for new challenges.

Cultivating a growth mindset does not mean getting rid of the fixed mindset though. Learning about the five triggers of the fixed mindset can help to move away from negative pathways and keep growing.

We all maintain both fixed and growth mindsets. Managing your fixed mindset involves tracking your specific triggers and finding ways to manage them.

Failure leads to success if viewed as learning. The science behind frustration shows how the brain reacts to each hurdle. It depends on whether your fixed or growth mindset is fired. The bottom line? Don't fear failure, it enables a growth mindset.

Learning From Failures For A Growth Mindset

With a growth mindset, failure actually develops your brain. Fail fast, fail early and go forward.

How do growth mindsets function? They are self-driven and have an inherent zeal for life. Master these six fundamental traits of the growth mindset and rather than give up at the first sign of failure, learn to grow beyond it.

People with a growth mindset actively seek knowledge, see the big picture, continuously challenge themselves, and never quit.

Leading yourself before you set out to lead others is most important. What does it take to begin your self-leadership journey? Only when you gain self-awareness, self-acceptance, and self-mastery can you truly be the leader that you wish to be.

Developing a growth minset requires self-awareness, self-acceptance, and self-mastery. With these skills, you will be ready to lead others.

Learning to swim in uncharted waters is a skill the authors of Blue Ocean Strategy, W. Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne can help you with. If you want to be inventive, grow fast, or surge past competitors, you are at the right place. This series shows you how to create and thrive in these unique blue oceans.

Industries that are created time and again such as mobile phones, laptops, and designer coffee comprise blue oceans. Companies need to aim to create blue oceans to reap high profits.

As you prepare to get started, ask yourself these questions. Next, plot and analyze the value curve before launching the Four Action Frameworks.

Getting Started – Ask The Right Questions

The blue ocean strategy is a win-win for both customers and companies. It aims to enhance value for customers and keep costs down for the company.

Six market boundaries prevent companies from escaping the vicious red ocean. Know what they are to find the exit route. Whether your offering addresses a desperate need or directly reaches out to the user, you can reach the blue ocean of new possibilities.

To open up new markets, focus on factors that make people pick a particular brand, understand the reasons they choose to trade up or down, pay attention to actual users, eliminate pain points, add emotional appeal to functional products or vice versa, and identify and work with trends.

Blue ocean strategy users go beyond the existing customer base to reach out to noncustomers. But there are three different tiers of these. This episode reveals who they are and why they are not coming to the fold so you can reel them in.

The three different levels of non-customers include the soon-to-be, refusing, and unexplored. Understanding why they are not willing to be customers can create blue oceans.

The transition won't be easy, promise Kim and Mauborgne. Arm yourself with tipping point leadership to beat the tide. Here are four hurdles you are likely to face on your journey.

There are four types of organizational hurdles: cognitive, resource, motivation, and political. Choose tipping point leaders to tackle hurdles effectively and at a lower cost.

There are three E principles of fair process decision-making. By following these, you stem the push-back from insiders besides building trust and gaining commitment. This is important because people want recognition for who they are more than anything.

A fair process creates commitment using three E principles: Engagement, Explanation, and Expectation clarity.

Certain beliefs and perceptions that Kim and Mauborgne call red ocean traps prevent us from reaching the blue oceans. This episode looks at four such dangerous misconceptions about blue oceans.

Blue oceans are not only about technology, being first to market, differentiation, or a low-cost strategy. It also needs you to look outside the industry.
