Every crisis is the moment of truth.

If you're not able to bring value with your business - no accidental luck will keep you running.

Time to focus on value and to be sincere.

@grimalsk Crisis is always the time for changes. Who doesn't change will disappear.

Business needs to focus on value and to be efficient. No code can be great solution for efficiency.

@grimalsk Real team would include people with wide range of skills, views and perspectives.

If you leverage that - you will be able to achieve fabulous results.

But it's indeed challenging to cope with that complexity. Here are team management skills needed.

[Vladimir Polkovnikov @bizdevtrack]

@KirMoro Living the life without change would be extremely boring.

Even good proved ways of doing something are getting too much old-fashioned when we got used to it.

@grimalsk When discipline means forcing yourself - it's not sustainable.

Sometimes we don't need discipline, we need clear personal mission in this world, sense for what we're doing and a goal.

And when you don't have energy to do something - try to imagine the day of your funeral.

@grimalsk It's interesting why we're confronting being strict and being friends. Maybe we can look at this from perspective of personal boarders?

I believe if your teammates are not your friends - you're in danger. But do they respect you as a leader? Don't let them to manipulate you.

[Vladimir Polkovnikov @bizdevtrack]

@Mashstartup Idea needs to be turned to action asap.

[Vladimir Polkovnikov @bizdevtrack]

@SergeiPredko Creation can take different forms. Sometimes it can be integration. Those who can integrate others creations to deliver additional value can achieve much.

[Vladimir Polkovnikov @bizdevtrack]

Make love, not just money.

Love to customers - focus on value, best solution for real problem that makes life better.

Love to your self - do meaningfull business, observe and focus on your goals with harmony.

Love to the team - respect, transparency, trust.

Young business - testing various sales channels and scaling;

Mature business - looking for growth opportunities with new products and new markets.

Some businesses can stuck in Teenager or Kid stage for decades. Think of it 🤔

[Vladimir Polkovnikov @bizdevtrack]

Maturity of the business is not an age. Doesn't matter if you on the market for 1 or 20 years.

Your position on the traction-map matters.

New born business - searching solid segmentation and value proposition;

Teenager business - learning to perform manual but manageable sales

@olegweb3 @token2049 @PanteraCapital You mean Twitter can block my account, but if it's decentralized no one can take access from me?

That's really interesting and I'm trying to dig deeper)

[Vladimir Polkovnikov @bizdevtrack]

@ZamirShukho @VcVibranium What's the main aspect that makes difference in the pitch, from your opinion?

[Vladimir Polkovnikov @bizdevtrack]

@growth_tracking When satisfaction from the job is falling - raise the price

[Vladimir Polkovnikov @bizdevtrack]

@ilyaberdysh We've developed platform for online events in 2019. And me and my team were the absolutely first users - I mean we've organized our own conference.

After it - contacts from phone. And later they recommendations.

[Vladimir Polkovnikov @bizdevtrack]

If I see person driving posh car my first thought is - wow, he/she managed to create a lot of value.

Money is a feedback from the Universe.

If you deliver small value but for billions or enormous value for small group of people - you will receive this feedback.

When you're doing customer development for b2b2c product it's useful to talk not only with business that will pay you but talk with final consumer.

That can reveal issues that are not visible for your business customer.
