In February it will be 6 years since I had a 𝗯𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘁. With some distance Business Insider has asked me to talk about my experience in consulting, my burnout and the new company I started: WirDämmenDeinHaus.com You can find the link in the first comment.  (I’m also happy to share the pdf, in case you cannot access it.) My ask to you:  𝗣𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗻𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸, 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗶𝘁. Having talked to many people that suffered a burnout, my observation is that it can be tremendously helpful to get a nudge from people that care about you. It is a common burnout symptom to “try to keep pushing through” and “take care of one self, after X, Y, Z is finished” -> this often significantly prolongs the healing process. Be there for the people you care about and encourage them to take care of themselves now and not when it’s too late. I’m also here for anyone that wants to talk 1:1 about their experience or ask questions. Please feel free to reach out. Happy holidays to all of you!

🙋🏻‍♀️ 𝙒𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙣 𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙙 … 𝙍𝙤𝙡𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙙𝙚𝙡𝙨, 𝙁𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙨 & 𝙑𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮 ! 𝙒𝙝𝙮? 💡Even though women make 50% of our population, only 2 out of 10 women found a company in Germany. 💰Only 2% of Venture Capital goes into female founded companies. 👩🏻‍💻Only 15% of senior partners in VC firms are women. 📑 In the Innovation Agenda of the Startup-Verband we set the objective that every third startup in Germany should have a female co-founder by 2030. For this we need: 👉🏽 Visibility of female founders and investors through media, publications and networks such 2hearts, the Evangelistas, STRIVE Magazine, FRAUEN100 and many more. 👉🏽 Role Models and mentors who are willing to support and empower women who want to found or are already running their own company. 👉🏽 Funding into female founded companies supported by an increased number of senior female partners in VC firms and investment roles at large. 🙏🏽 Thank you Welt, Katja Deutsch, Alia Fahda (Contentway GmbH) for the important conversation on how to support and empower women in the German economy with focus on tech and startups! 🗞️ Link to the entire publication in the comments. #Gründergeist #Innovation #FemaleFounders #VentureCapital #Diversity

//ES GIBT NICHTS GUTES, AUßER MAN TUT ES.“ This quote from German author Erich Kästner means: “Actions speak louder than words.“ This quote can well serve as a mantra in innovation, too, because: 🔴 There’s no lack of ideas. 🔴 There’s no lack of oohs and aahs. 🔴 There’s no lack of concepts. But there’s lack of something very important. That’s implementation. Al those ideas, all those oohs and aahs, all those concepts won’t help if they’re not followed by actions. Yet, it’s them, it’s only them that give your idea its true value. ——— This is how you bring your ideas to market in 2024:  https://lnkd.in/eq4TvNC4 #innovation #innovationstrategy #success #impactthatmatters #strategy #entrepreneur #startup  #doit #crisismanagement

Strategic decision-making in action: Why we will NOT prevent cheating in our matcha business! I run a matcha business in Switzerland. We are selling a premium brand: Highest quality ceremonial matcha that is available. Organic certification planned for Q4 this year. . High price. . Premium labeling. . For connoisseurs who value quality and best taste. We sell it in boxes: 1 or 3 or 5 per box. We are offering 20% for your first order, no matter which box. We have figured out that some customers use a specific email provider that allows them to generate aliases. They use a new alias for each order. And with that they get 20% for each order. And the people who use this provider most often are.....students. We know it. And we could do something to prevent it. But we decided NOT to do anything. Because... 1. at this stage of our business we want to grow and spread over Switzerland. We prioritize growth over monetization. 2. we know that matcha is popular amongst students, so we need to target them somehow. 3. we know that students don't have much money. And that they therefore put lots of efforts into finding ways to get what they want for cheaper. 4. we must keep our premium positioning but need to find ways to make it affordable for low-income high-potential target groups like students. We need to play with the price without dropping it. Decisions: . Let cheaters cheat. . Turn our addicts into advocates (reaching out to them soon). . Reduce or drop shipping costs. At a time when everything gets more expensive (for our matcha business, too!!) we will shine with keeping our prices, dropping the shipping costs, and supporting our addicts with free offers in an advocacy program. Are we 100% sure about our moves? No. But strategic decisions are not about being sure. They are about making bets based on the data & information at hand, your vision, and your goals. 🔥 Roast us: What would you do differently? Or what else should we do/consider? #productStrategy #buildingInPublic

𝐑𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐭𝐬 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 𝐖𝐄𝐑𝐍𝐄𝐑 #92 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐭: 𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐭-𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐍𝐅𝐋 𝐣𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐆𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐲! With the NFL Germany Game Munich in the books, check this out: Just a few weeks ago, Sami, CEO of Football Bromance, and I started socialising a product idea: Launching Björn Werner #92 Colts jersey off the back of his massive popularity in Germany and after being nominated Indianapolis Colts Global Ambassador. (for those not too familiar: Björn Werner, retired National Football League (NFL) Defensive End, 1st round Colts pick 2013 Draft, today: NFL national TV host RTL, Founder of “Bromance Sports”, massive NFL content platform, host of #1 German NFL podcast „Football Bromance“…and much more) What might sound like a straightforward, 2-click execution, required some proper preparation: 1- Rights and royalties. Contracts. Paperwork. Solid foundations. Thanks for guidance and support Salha Latif, Jessica Campbell Vicky Picca, Andrew Groves, Chloe Grady, Cory Levine 2- Inventory: Biggest question mark…what will the demand be? How many Colts jerseys do you need in stock in order to cater to an unknown demand? Bear in mind: Merch wise, Germany is rather a stronghold for KC Chiefs, GB Packers, SF 49ers, S Seahawks, NE Patriots. 3- Communication/Activation: aligning on the right amount and mix of messages from Björn to his audience – given everybody was heads-down busy ahead of the NFL Game in Munich on Nov10 Results: the first drop on Oct 21 fully sold out within 60 second! 🔥 (Apparently, we underestimated this a bit… 🤔) This made Björn Werner the best-selling NFL jersey into Germany. https://lnkd.in/ewgWcw59 Remember: A retired player. Truly epic. (of note: in the meantime, we obviously re-stocked, continuing to sell fast. Go check out NFL Shop. https://lnkd.in/ezE2tZrR) Thanks again to all involved. Power of fandom! More to come. Watch this space.

How do you make a music and soccer nerd happy? You need: Dominik Jemec, our content specialist (and a music and soccer nerd), a laptop, the option to work remotely, a cool manager, and lots of energy drinks. Step 1: Dom finds an unmissable concert or soccer match, preferably where he has friends to save on accommodation. Be like Dom and make friends everywhere. 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Step 2: Dom requests to work remotely. His manager, also a soccer nerd, gives the thumbs up. Be like his manager and smash the “approve” button. Step 3: If he can avoid flying, Dom takes a train and works while traveling. Be like a train and provide the best office views. 🚆 Step 4: Enjoy the event, take photos to share the experience, and have a blast. Be better than Dom and get a good phone or camera. 📷 Step 5: Fuel up on energy drinks. Repeat all steps. In his two years with TourRadar, Dom has worked remotely and traveled solo across Europe, from Bulgaria to Germany to Scotland. We’re curious to see where his next wacky adventure will take him! 😍

I'm looking forward to tuning in to this episode, Lars. The topics you've outlined are certainly relevant and timely for CEOs and business leaders. I'm particularly interested in hearing your thoughts on how to navigate uncomfortable questions and the influencer scandals that can impact a company's reputation. The film recommendation also has my curiosity piqued. I'll definitely be checking out the Spotify link and looking out for the Apple podcast link in the comments. Dipl.-Ing. Lars Behrendt

//GOODBYE GERMANY?! Yesterday we had an event at our company. Only high-profile people, CEOs, COOs, CFOs, C, whatever. The topic was how to deal with "crisis," and the strategy I heard there was totally coherent. So cutting costs, layoffs, switching from gas to diesel, etc. All good, but, you know, for me, it's actually too expected. And the thing that I would actually like to see is where the real innovative approaches are. I totally understand that we're in a crisis right now and that everyone really doesn't want to spend any money on innovation. BUT it's also clearly statistically proven and demonstrable that those companies that do this NOW, are precisely the winners that emerge from the crisis. And that's something I really miss in Germany right now. Simply thinking "yes", pushing things forward, trying out new things, and not always using the same old sauce will soon get Germany back on top. What are your thoughts? ——— This is how we de-risk innovations and investments:  https://lnkd.in/eq4TvNC4 #innovation #creativity #future #whatinspiresme #innoweek #venturestudio #companybuilder #vc All rights and credits are reserved to the respective owner(s).  Contact me to add you as a reference or content removal. ♻️ Repost to help your network to bring their ideas to market.
