In this episode of “The Marketing Nerdz Podcast” CEO “Karan Dharamsi” shares the 2 different Business Models and also speaks about how to select the best Model depending on your needs.

According to Karan, there are 2 basic schools or models of business:

• Lifestyle Business Model
• Real Business

So, wondering what these 2 types of business models mean and how to select the right Business Model?

These are the 2 broad categories of Business models in which majority of businesses and entrepreneurs operate.

A typical lifestyle business is where the person meets all his lifestyle needs to a larger extend. The business model is much more flexible and compatible to his needs and desires in terms of spending quality time with friends and family, going out on vacations, not having to worry about setting up his team etc.

And then there is the Real Business model. A typical business model with a routine structure in terms of work, outcome, hours dedicated etc.

Karan goes on to explaining the point further by elaborating Gary Vanerchuk’s Business Model.

That is a typical example of the second type of Business Model. You Hustle, work hard and repeat the same thing day in and day out to grow and scale your Business.

On the contrary, a typical lifestyle business would be the one where someone operates his drop shipping business at the comfort of his own place, just by hiring one or 2 virtual team members!

He does not have to build a physical team at a physical location or commit to a workplace to conduct his business.

Speaking about the revenue generated in both the models, each of them are capable to earn millions.

However, when it comes to Lifestyle business, there is one major limitation!

The only limitation for a Lifestyle Business is scalability. It is surely possible but difficult compared to the other model.

This is because you are limited with your recourses in terms of manpower, inputs, work hours and ideas.

There certainly are exceptions, but majority of the lifestyle business reach a point beyond which scalability and growth is difficult and takes in a lot of efforts.

 
So, here are a few important questions you need to ask yourself to select the right Business Model out of the 2:

• What do I like?
• Am I willing to Hustle, sit at the office Monday to Sunday or would I prefer spending time
  with Family and Friends?
• Am I willing to do everything under the sun for my Business?
• Is the Business meeting my needs and desires?

For you to work and contribute towards the growth and expansion of your business positively, it is very important that the Business model you select meets your needs!

You are your own decision maker. Pick what you like and pick the model where your heart it!

In this episode of “The Marketing Nerdz Podcast”, CEO “Karan Dharamsi” talks about what can we learn from “Elon Musk” about Entrepreneurship and Digital Marketing.

This Podcast is all about Entrepreneurship, Marketing, Digital Marketing, and that one important thing to consider to grow your businesses, accelerate your marketing campaigns and march towards success!

In this Podcast, Karan shares his personal experience after watching on of Elon Musk’s interview with TED.

On his interview, Elon shared a lot of things including his vision and goals for his life and work.Not just that, he also spoke about how he found a problem in the society and has already started working towards solving the same!

He has always been someone who not only has a great vision but also puts in the required dedication and hard work to implement and achieve the same.
Be is Tesla, sending people to Mars or building tunnels in NewYork city.

Elon is a man with great vision accompanied with the desire and hard work to implement the same. Be it for his personal life or for his company, when it comes to Elon, there is absolutely no one who can compete with him.

This is only because apart from setting up goals and having great visions, he has a definition to his vision.

Here is what can we learn from Elon Musk about Entrepreneurship and Digital Marketing:

For any Business to run successfully, we need a great vision!

But a vision which is not defined is ultimately of no use. Having a clear vision is extremely important and what’s more important is to keep your self away from the small, unclear goals.

Everyone of us come across those times when we are tied back with petty issues and thoughts of how to pay the bills for the coming month, how to pay the rents etc. And if you stick around to setting up your visions around these things, they will be very restrictive.

Your vision will be limited to your immediate needs and you will never explore your ultimate vision, which eventually will lead you to fulfilment and a happier life!

Here’s another thing we can learn from Elon Musk about Entrepreneurship and Digital Marketing:

Anyone can have visions for their professional and personal life. But what sets the successful one’s apart is a vision which is not Vague.

A lot of us have the vision “to be successful” or “to be the best”

These are the best examples of unclear, vague visions. Define your vision, set numbers, definite numbers!

And once you have your great, definite vision in place, it is equally important to implement it!
Your goals and vision itself should be exciting enough to make you want to jump out of bed each morning and start working, something that you are passionate about.

When you have your passion, hard work and vision aligned together, you will create Magic!

And here’s what one can learn from Elon Musk when it comes to Digital Marketing:

To be a successful Digital Marketer, you need to be clear about your vision as a Digital Marketer. It is extremely important to be aware of where you are going and if you are clear about your future in the industry.

Not just that, it helps you to stay updated with the evolving times, for if you have no definite vision, you will not see the need to learn new things or you may not be aware of things that would actually help you since you are yourself not sure about your goals and vision.

Karan explains the point further, sharing the examples for his own students and participants who pursue Digital Marketing courses under him.

Apart from setting the goal, you need to ask yourself these very important questions:

• What are you going to achieve or solve with your vision?
• How are you going to implement it?
• When are you going to work on it?

Once you have these things in place, you will have a concrete vision which will make sure that your life becomes more exciting, and you wake you every morning with a lot of happiness, content and passion!

So, go ahead and have a bold, definite vision and do not forget to implement your vision!
