285: Jennifer Brazer—How To Turn An Idea Into A Big Innovation?

Hear what can take your idea from good to great!

Listen in today to a woman who had a client searching for an unmet need and who then helped him open up a new market, literally Blue Ocean Strategy® in action. Jennifer Brazer, my podcast guest, has a new book out that you really should read because it’s a “how-to” guide for building a great business, Blue Ocean-style. (It actually happened to be her own business.) She explains how she went from a cubicle to a multi-million dollar bookkeeping service on the cloud, serving accounting firms across the country. And it all started when a client asked her how to manage the bookkeeping for his companies at an affordable price.

From servicing local clients to running a huge business for companies everywhere

What Jennifer will tell you, however, is that her path to success taught her that there is no straight line from an idea to a business, much less to a successful one. As you listen to our conversation, think about your own business. Is it growing like you dreamed it could? Are you able to find new clients in this economically challenging time? Is it time to Rethink you and your business? If you are On the Brink, maybe listening to this podcast can help you get off the brink and “soar” again!
