47. How has leading Zima changed us? Lessons worth knowing

Today we're taking you to the lessons we've learned from doing business, from developing Zima.

We will focus exclusively on business and our attitudes and behaviors. We will analyze how our personalities and approaches to work and business development have changed over the past three years of running Zima.

I hope this podcast will help other entrepreneurs recognize similar patterns and make you reflect on your own operating mechanisms.

What will you learn from this episode?

  • How does ego get in the way of building healthy business relationships and how to put it in your pocket?
  • Why is a company a team, not a family - and what are the consequences of this approach?
  • How to effectively manage procrastination as a leader - when you put off tough decisions, and they are the ones that grow the business?
  • How do you give feedback and make tough decisions as a team so that the company grows rather than drowns in understatement?
  • How has our personal development and changes in the way we do business affected Zima and our approach to work?

⚒️ Tools we use:

  • ChatGPT: support in generating content and editing texts, searching for concepts, organizing statements
  • Perplexity AI: tool for quick research and verification of information, searching for sources, pulling a short summary of long reports/articles
  • Mid Journey: creation of graphics, illustrations and visualizations of personas - the quality of this tool has improved strongly recently, and we are fine-tuning better prompts
  • Luma AI: creating videos with the help of artificial intelligence
Another lesson I've learned is to fight procrastination.

I've noticed that when I feel overloaded, I consciously choose the easier tasks, putting off the more difficult ones. The problem with running a business, however, is that it's the challenging decisions and actions that determine its growth. I realized this after a year of running my business, and from that point on, fighting procrastination became crucial for me.
