This is kind of CRAZY - I am just about to JUMP on a plane…. ✈️ To attend a business networking event in Fort Lauderdale (Florida) 🤩😬 This makes no logical sense, as like most business owners I am already BUSY, and as I have no idea what to expect..... 🤷♂️ In the past, I would have THOUGHT and THOUGHT about this, and probably said NO. These days I TRY to follow my intuition. The reality is that, whilst this is a step into the UNKNOWN, this feels right. And I have learnt this is a much better way to LIVE ⭐️ I joined an amazing business community this year called the The Advance Innovation Society which is run by Ty Richardson, PhD and Kelly Roach, CEO ⭐️🎉 I have already met so many amazing people who are members of this community and can’t wait to meet so many of these individuals in person 😊 Taking time out, and spending time with individuals that inspire you is always when the magic happens.... 🔥 See you on the other side.... #peformhappy #performance #growthmindset #purpose

Decisions are tougher than ever. 𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀. This was the core message at yesterday's event at Bpifrance - The Hub. A great breakfast and networking moment, enriched by insights from four inspiring Operating Partners supporting French start-ups and animated by Benjamin Burlett. Once again, it was a pleasure to meet you IRL ❤️ Under the topic 𝘖𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘴: 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘵 𝘴𝘢𝘶𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘶𝘳𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘝𝘊𝘴, here are a few key takeaways: 👉 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲: Companies are increasingly focused on refining product-market fit, ICPs, and personas rather than prioritizing rapid scaling. 👉 𝗩𝘂𝗹𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁: Employees seek authenticity. Sharing what went well, what didn't and even what we've decided to postpone fosters trust. 👉 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗱𝗱 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲: Their diverse experience is essential for Boards and ComEx to make better decisions. This event reaffirmed 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴: mentoring my clients to make thoughtful, impactful decisions for the future. 2025, here I come! 🚀 Thank you Olivier, Herve, Diane and Virginie for sharing your experiences, and many thanks to Bpifrance for organizing such an insightful event!

I almost didn’t go to that networking event this week. My anxiety kicked in, and I was this close 🤏🏽 to backing out. But I’ve set one rule for myself: show up And here’s the truth – it ended up being one of the best decisions I’ve made all week. Rowan Grobler shared 5 key areas investors are focusing on : → Your unique edge in the market  → Team’s execution power → Valuation reality check → KPIs that truly matter → Industry momentum The key takeaways from that amazing panel? Rowan Grobler ,Jana V. Catherine Elton, Gary Brotman, Inge Hunter. - Founders have more power than they think they have. - Finding the right investor is just as important as getting the funds. - Capital is available, but the qualification of distribution is changing. The panel discussion totally changed my perspective on the founder-investor dynamic. It was a fantastic experience because: ↳ Leaders from emerging startups led the panel. ↳ They talked about the challenges in VC funding. ↳ They explored the evolving founder-investor dynamic. And a special shout out to the incredible people I met: - Rosa Dos Santos - Joe Graziano - Cindy Maddrell And many more amazing people. Really looking forward to more events like this. If you're struggling with anxiety or imposter syndrome, trust me—showing up is half the battle. P.S. If we didn’t get to chat at the event, let’s chat now!😉

Will your startup be unfit for the market in 5 years? There's a 50% chance that this will be your fate...unless you take a forward thinking approach to what you are building right now. Edward A. Ipser, Jr. shared this exciting upcoming event for Fort Worth Innovators Forum coming up in just a couple of weeks. What: Choose Your Own Exit: De-pivot Your Way To Product-Market Fit When: Friday, June 14, 2024, Noon to 1PM Where: HSC/Next Joshua L. Brockway will be presenting... "Customer experience and market studies help, but here's the problem: they're already expired when you start operating. They won't help you get fit for what clients will want in 5, 10, or more years from now. What you need is to leave history behind, and turn to the future. In this eye-opening presentation, walk with Josh, a strategic foresight professional, into your startup's possible futures, and examine the blind spots that are hiding fatal risks and fantastic opportunities from you."
