The best business ideas come from noticing what's working and doing it better, faster, or for a different audience.
Share systematic operational improvements in traditional industries to attract customers and talent simultaneously
Why It Works
Traditional industries lack thought leadership content, creates competitive advantage for talent acquisition and customer trust
Prerequisites
How to Execute
Document specific operational improvements and results
Share both successes and lessons learned
Invest in training and development programs worth sharing
Use metrics and specific numbers to build credibility
Engage with others in industry to build community
When It Fails
When sharing without real results to back it up, when trying to copy others' content strategies without operational foundation
Real Example
“Chris Hoffman shares HVAC business growth from $13M to $140M, documents training university creation, attracts both customers and talent through thought leadership”
