Achieve Your Next Business Goals by Starting with an Environment First: Be Motivated to Create
David Gerő

I always admire people with a mission statement.

But I'm not that kind of guy.

I always have a direction, but never a written, SMART, "official" goal with a mission statement for centuries to come. Sometimes I even feel that I'm not creative or smart enough to have the "big mission", so I never achieve anything in my life.

But something has changed, and the result has just happened.

Set your direction by the environment and let the result take care of itself

I've always been interested in working with retailers.

I don't know anything about them. I've no idea why I'd want to work with them. My intuition told me that this is what I should do.

So I set my direction and created an environment.

I created my e-commerce stores, and the results were always terrible.

The "only" problem was that no one wanted to buy anything from me.

I spent all my time constantly solving small, tiny, frustrating technical problems while working on these stores.

The truth is that no system can be good enough if it doesn't sell.

But as I worked on my stores, I became familiar with the problems these people face every day.

I've wrapped up these little, tiny, frustrating technical problems and I'm selling these packages instead.

I'm solving everyday problems and creating a small functional app to solve one problem at a time.

As I listened to other sellers, I realized we all have different problems.

I can't create a store where everyone wants to buy a product from me, but I can solve the technical difficulties one by one and create a specific solution that solves the one thing at the right time.

This way, I finally got to know them a little better and realized why I wanted to work with them in the first place. And maybe, I'll learn how to create a store that sells.
