A distractable person waits for motivation, then doesn’t understand why they fail to accomplish their goals day after day after day.

An indistractable person knows why they got distracted and takes steps today to avoid getting distracted by the same thing tomorrow.

Is it worth creating separate media channels for each of your individual products? Pros: able to market extensively for wide reach to gain new customers. Cons: would have to build an audience from scratch and balance the increased number of daily/weekly posts across social media

Note to self: section off an area for product photography in your next workshop

It will take me a couple more chapters to start applying this to my type of products including custom woodwork, tools, games and other categories, but this is one step in the right direction!

The first chapter of “Hooked” by @nireyal goes over “The Habit Zone” describing how user habits are a competitive advantage. It goes over fostering consumer habits as an effective way to increase the value of a company by driving higher customer lifetime value (CLTV)

And with this, you come to the end where there’s a morale reminder to realize there’s healthy and unhealthy habits and it’s important to take some moments to realize what type of habit your product is forming.

From there, you don’t even need to print more than one model to take pictures, videos and size it up for shipping costs. Make a listing that is made to order and just print as the orders come in. Will be testing this business model out in the near future and will see the results

I’ve been learning tips and tricks to scaling up a #3DPrinting business as a small @Etsy shop. Nothing close to a 3D printing farm, but more towards a sustainable, continuous profit that can be handled by 3-4 printers.

However, there’s nothing wrong with using a website like @thingiverse or @printablescom to find a model that someone else has created, where they allow you to sell printed versions of the model for your own profit. Just make sure to give them a shout out to credit them !

@nireyal I’m excited to continue to read and learn from it! I’m designing some products in parallel and hoping I can apply the lessons as I work through each development!

I’ve recently started reading “Hooked” by @nireyal . There’s already a ton of goodness that is provided right at the introduction chapter. The “Hooked” model is introduced …

If done correctly, it is more likely that the user will continue looping through this model, with starting back at number 1 with an internal trigger, versus external.

The last phase is 4)investment. This occurs when the user puts something towards the product of service such as time, data, effort, social capital or money. This doesn’t have to be money. It can be inviting friends, building virtual assets, or anything that improves the service.
