Episode Highlights

How Family Shaped Jack Born

• Jack comes from a family of veterinarians. His grandfather also owned several clinics.
• Growth can come from leveraging your assets and key points in your business.

Jack Born: “Where can I find leverage in my business, or how can I leverage up my skills or reputation? There are a whole bunch of different key leverage points that we can find in our business, but that’s really where the growth comes from.”

• Jack's interest in business developed much later with the help of his grandfather’s words of wisdom.

The Path to Entrepreneurship 

• Explore, find out, and build a list of what you don’t want to do as a child. That can help you figure out what you want.
• Jack graduated with a Spanish degree. When he was graduating, reading business books started his path to entrepreneurship.
• He realized how to use his skills to earn more while working less.
• Initially, Jack had various jobs. His miserable working experience pushed him to go out on his own.

Launching Jack Born Business

• One of Jack’s first client's work was to build a website for his friend. Going into business, he surrounded himself with people who believed in him and saw his hard work.
• Afterward, he took on multiple odd jobs before going back into website design.
• Jack learned how to PHP code with the help of a book and a code that would become a website.
• Jack sent out emails and officially launched his business after a year of offering his website service for free.
• He got a position working with Perry Marshall, where he learned a lot and met great people. After a few years, Jack focused on his software business.

Daryl: “It’s one thing to say that you’re going to leave your job and start a business, but it does take time. I’m speaking from personal experience. To find product-market fit and even product-market-founder fit, you do need to take time to figure that out. It’s a weird thing where you don’t necessarily learn from doing. You learn from iterations. You have to go out and fail and try and fail.”

Common Mistakes in Business

• Entrepreneurs often undervalue their products and services. Jack estimated how much he would need to charge for his business to be a success.
• There is value in taking time to apprentice with someone who’s doing what you want to do.
• One of Jack’s mistakes is not focusing on his business and its growth.
• During his time with Perry, he found it was a mistake to think that doing the same thing as before would help the business grow. Different skills help bring you to success.
• There are eight categories to help make a business successful. They are self-efficacy, strategic planning, market intelligence, marketing strategy, sales strategy, skills in money management, business operations, and business intelligence.

The Goldilocks Principle and Customer Development

• Customer development allows the developer to interview potential customers and pinpoint their problems.
• You need the right questions to get truthful answers and accurate feedback.
• The Goldilocks Principle is finding the best time to launch the best viable product. 
• Before starting on a product, envision the minimum viable product that can give your client results. 
• Identify if there is a problem that they’re willing to spend money to solve.

Creating Sales Promotions

• Restructuring how you offer a product can help with promotion.
• That includes pricing, payment plans, trials, bonuses, and guarantees, among various factors.
• According to Robert Cialdini’s Influence, six principles influence people’s behavior.
• These principles include reciprocity, commitment, consistency, social proof, authority, likability, and scarcity. 
• An offer that includes these principles can encourage people to buy the product.

Enforcing Deadlines in Business

• The Endowment Effect is when someone is reluctant to lose something because they value what is scarce.
• Entrepreneurs can leverage this by using a special offer with a deadline. The deadline can encourage interested clients to take action.

Jack: “They're already interested. Your message is resonating with them. It's the deadline that gets them to take action. And if you don't have that deadline, then they're going to delay.”

• A potential customer delaying their decision to act can lead to losing the chance of a sale.
• Your offer should already have an existing demand in the market to use and enforce a deadline.
• Jack started using deadlines by personalizing them to the person as they receive that email.

Jack’s Habits to Success

• Journaling for 10 minutes a day became a way for Jack to go through and write his days. 
• That allows him to see what’s holding him back and make breakthroughs.
• Jack also does daily meditation. Meditating helps you avoid being overwhelmed by your emotions.
• He’s worked with many talented people who were much more skilled. Jack’s meditation habit allows him to set aside his ego and listen to their thoughts.
• Take some time to go out and be in nature.
