🙌 MESH Biz' Class Week 1: Find Zone Yako!
Every great business starts with a clear focus.
You can find yours by exploring what you love, what you’re good at, and what people need and will pay for.
Let's look at two examples of people who have found their zone; James and Mary.
When you discover what you love, what you’re good at, and what people need and will pay for, you’re well on your way to finding your sweet spot in biz!
This is what we call finding your zone.
Now it's your turn: Find your zone.
Step 1: What Do You Love?
Think about the activities or interests that bring you joy or activities that excite you.
Passion ni important because it keeps you motivated, even when the going gets tough. And biz can get tough.
For James and Mary:
• James loves cooking, experimenting with recipes, and seeing the joy on people’s faces when they taste his food.
• Mary loves drawing and animation, making her the go-to person for animation for education and entertainment.
Step 2: What Are You Good At?
Passion alone sio enough, una-need skills to deliver value and stand out. Think about vitu uko naturally good at or have practiced.
Skills hu-build credibility and trust, and the good thing is, they can always be improved!
For James and Mary:
• James is skilled at preparing healthy, tasty Kenyan meals that turn simple ingredients into amazing dishes.
• Mary is an expert in animation using the best tools.
Step 3: What Do People Need and Will Pay For?
