068 - How to Compete with Giants with Jeroen Corthout

Just because they're bigger, doesn't mean you're out of luck. Jeroen and I discuss how it’s possible to compete with much larger companies by getting crystal clear on the problem you’re solving for your clients and staying focused. 

- Find a problem you're passionate about. Don't fall in love with the solution.

- Try it, nail it, build it... in that order. Don't skips any steps.

- How do you go about building your product and your processes?

- How do you make sure you consistently keep building that value?

- How do you create a culture that encourages positive growth?
