Coaching and mentoring to help you start and scale your one-person business.

Founder

Zero In

The mission of Zero In is to help as many businesses and leaders build a brand customers love and a company people are passionate to work for.  

So where do you need to focus (or Zero In)?
Solve the problem of INDIFFERENCE!

Indifferent customers have no compelling reason to purchase your product or service rather than your competitors' product or service. 

Indifferent employees are complacent because they are not passionate about coming to work each day.

Utilize the resources, books, and courses from Zero In to increase your customer retention, improve your customer experience, and build a passionate culture of innovation giving your team the ability to find new and better ways to serve your customers.

"Customers DO NOT buy your product or service, they buy what it can DO FOR THEM"
Customer-centricity means knowing your customers and giving them what they crave.  This helps you to build trust and loyalty, but also a solid reputation.  Loyal customers become fans of your brand and refer other customers to you.

"If you don't find new and better ways to serve your customers, SOMEONE ELSE WILL!"
Being Innovative brings new ideas, which is crucial to a business being able to find new and better ways to add value for your customers.  With innovation comes creative new products and services, increases in efficiency and, as a result, improved profitability.

BE THE BRAND CUSTOMERS LOVE AND THE COMPANY PEOPLE ARE PASSIONATE TO WORK FOR

I founded Void Robotics because I believe the world needs affordable robots to automate food production for individuals and families, especially the needy. Our primary projects include an affordable outdoor navigation solution and an IoT sensor solution for gardening.

Synergy Ministries (answeringproblems.com) is a Christian organization that seeks spiritual revival through the promise of Ephesians 4:11-16. By creating a "Bible Wiki" to unite humble Christians (Philippians 2:2; Hebrews 3:13) who seek the "fullness of Christ" (Ephesians 4:13), we believe the church can answer all major world problems, through Jesus' Gospel.

What can you as an engineer learn from this advanced storage system?

Here are some innovations I see:

1. Robots are short. ■ They shouldn't have their own lanes because increased space increases rent. They should travel underneath.

2. Robots can climb. ■ Your system can be a lot taller, saving space and even pick time.

3. Robots can swarm. ■ No need for inaccurate SLAM when robots can navigate in a grid by pinging info from nearby robots or a central system.

Many factories are already being upgraded with this efficiency, drastically lowering the cost to purchase goods!

Let me know if you can spot the other major innovation in this video below.

There is 1 that I think is vital to a system like this.
