  • The Strategic Use of Content for Business Growth with John Hall, Relevance

    The Strategic Use of Content for Business Growth with John Hall, Relevance
    2024/09/11

    We often talk about strategy—growth strategy, sales strategy, marketing strategy. When it comes to content, strategic content is a game-changer. Aligning content with clear goals builds trust and credibility, leading to sustainable growth. This strategy (pun intended) can work for any business, and today, John Hall, an entrepreneur and growth architect, is telling us how to make the most out of it.


    About John Hall

    John Hall is a co-founder of Influence, which he grew to 100 employees and sold in 2018. Now, as the Chief Strategist at Relevance.com and co-founder of Calendar.com, he helps people manage their time and relationships better. He’s also the author of the best-selling book “Top of Mind” and has won the EY Entrepreneur of the Year Award.


    John shares his entrepreneurial insights in weekly columns for Forbes and Inc. and writes for over 50 publications, including CNBC, Harvard Business Review, and Fast Company. Known for his straight talk in PR, SEO, and thought leadership, he’s invested in many successful businesses. When he's not working, John loves spending time with his family. He’s passionate about helping great companies and people thrive.

    Key Insights:

    • Target the right audience. Use specific, detailed keywords to attract the right people for your business to reach those who are most likely to convert into clients.
    • Measure, measure, measure. Regularly evaluate how well your content is performing against your business goals. Use these insights to tweak your strategies and improve your results.
    • Invest in sustainable growth. Focus on investments and clients who are committed to ethical, sustainable practices. This not only ensures long-term success but also aligns with your values.
    • Leverage AI for content creation. AI tools can help you create, repurpose, and optimize content more efficiently. Incorporate AI to streamline your content process and keep the quality high.
    • Focus on quality over quantity. Producing high-quality, impactful content is more beneficial than churning out large volumes of mediocre material. Quality content builds credibility and engages your audience more effectively.


    John's best advice for entrepreneurs:

    “There are so many things you can do with content, but you have to start with the goal and then back into what strategy will be the most effective to accomplish that goal.”

  • Think Smart, Go global, Build Your Life with Bakari Akil, Nomad Noir

    Think Smart, Go global, Build Your Life with Bakari Akil, Nomad Noir
    2024/09/04

    Being adaptable isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s essential for any entrepreneur who wants to see their business thrive for years to come. Flexibility in business helps you to navigate unexpected challenges, seize new opportunities, and pivot when necessary. My interview with Bakari Akil reminded me of just how important it is to build your business with that flexibility at the core, so that you can effectively address any changes in the market without having to reinvent your operations every single time.


    About Bakari Akil

    Bakari Akil is an experienced entrepreneur and investor with a strong background in acquisitions and business development. As the Managing Director of Graves Hall Capital, Bakari has successfully led the acquisition of several companies, demonstrating a keen eye for identifying valuable opportunities. His approach to entrepreneurship is rooted in flexibility and adaptability, allowing him to navigate complex deals and build a diverse portfolio of businesses.


    Other than his work in acquisitions, Bakari loves sharing his knowledge and experiences in digital nomadism. He has traveled extensively while managing his ventures, proving that with the right strategy, business can be conducted from anywhere in the world.


    Key Insights:

    • Diversify your investments. I’ve always believed in spreading your business interests across different industries. This way, if one area faces challenges, others can keep your overall business stable.te
    • Delegate to experts. Hire experienced professionals to handle daily operations. This frees you up to focus on strategic decisions and big-picture growth instead of wasting your time on small tasks.
    • Prioritize recurring revenue. Look for businesses with steady, recurring revenue. This ensures a reliable cash flow and helps your business stay resilient.
    • Do your homework. Always visit and verify business operations in person before making any big decisions. This ensures you’re getting exactly what you expect.
    • Avoid depending on key individuals. Structure your business so that its success isn’t tied to one person. This makes transitions smoother and reduces risk of making your operations stuck because someone isn’t there.


    Bakari's best advice for entrepreneurs:

    "As an investor, it's important to be on location to see the business and evaluate it. [...] You really need to come there and make sure that the operations actually exist, that somebody's not selling you a business that actually is not there."
