Money vs. time 🤑 The way time is connected to money is one of the main differences between being an employee and building a business for me. To illustrate this, we can use a simple picture with two axes. The x-axis shows how easy it is to earn money, and the y-axis shows the potential revenue from being employed to owning various businesses (possible scalability). Here are the different levels of earning money: 1. Employee 🧑‍: This is the easiest and relatively safe way to earn money. You work a set number of hours and get paid accordingly by one customer (employer). Your income may grow incrementally, but the company sets a limit. 2. Freelancer 👨‍💻: This is a bit harder because you need to learn additional marketing, sales, negotiation skills, etc. You can increase your income by understanding market dynamics and taking on multiple projects from higher-paying clients - the possibility to efficiently use Geographic Arbitrage (saving big by earning income in a strong economy—while living (and spending) somewhere low-cost). However, your income is still tied to the amount of time you work. 3. Agency model 🏢: This involves taking a cut of the deals you deliver and using the time of other freelancers or employees. If you can manage projects well, you can earn more money by leveraging other people's time. Money earned from this level is not tied to 1 person. 4. One-time payment model 💸: This involves selling courses, books, templates, affiliates, or other assets. The connection between time and money is not linear anymore. The key difference here is that the amount you earn is disconnected from the time you put in. You can earn a lot of money from a single project. 5. Software as a Service (SaaS) model 🕒: This involves getting customers paid monthly or annually. It's more predictable than the one-time payment model, but it's also more work and quite challenging to create a product that people will pay for on an ongoing basis. 6. Platforms 🏙️: Building a platform is the most challenging way - as you build a business on which your customers can build their businesses. You take a cut from them, which can grow huge—examples of platforms, e.g., Youtube, Facebook, Stripe, Etsy, and other marketplaces and platforms. But this model's advantage is that as the platform grows, so does your business. Your customers can find switching to a different platform difficult, which benefits you. Overall, the connection between time invested and money earned becomes less clear as you move up the levels. Each level has pros and cons, and it can be challenging to determine the right one. I am oscillating among 2-4, as I was not successful with the 5th yet. What do you think about the time vs. money topic? #work #building #time #money #business

Fun to be on Bloomberg TV with the brilliant Vonnie Quinn & Gina Martin Adams discussing what's next in #ecommerce and consumer #finance: 1. Leverage AI: As retailers & ecommerce companies like Etsy Amazon eBay Wayfair look to cut costs - they will rely on AI for: -Applications in marketing/ad spend optimization to lower CAC -Improved recommendations to increase AOV -Optimize/ lower costs in Customer Service -Optimize distribution centers and 3PL activities 2. BOPIS and More flexible fulfillment methods: Customers will continue to embrace pandemic-driven shopping behaviors like buy-online-pickup-in-store (BOPIS) and flexible fulfillment methods. BOPIS expected to be $703B globally by 2027. Target announced it will spend $100M in “sortation” center which aggregate shipments in a facility where packages arrive from about 30 to 40 nearby stores, get grouped into efficient delivery routes and get picked up by a 3rd-party carrier or a vehicle of a contract worker for Shipt (which Target owns) 3. Mobile commerce:  m-commerce will continue to be a major driver accounting for 61%+ of digital shopping orders in 2023. 4. Re-commerce: (i.e. selling used products) as sustainability and affordability take priority. 65% of all shoppers already use a resale or re-commerce service. Key is understanding re-commerce shoppers: Everyone from Gen Z to Boomers has an interest in resale, but different demographics have different needs, so retailers need to match their brand to the right audience; 30% of retailers are involved in re-commerce today- BUT they need the technology in place: Challenges from verifying authenticity to detecting counterfeiting are a big part of resale, separate supply chain- a lot of experimentation in the space On the #fintech side- also discussed the impact of inflation, dwindling consumer savings + higher cost of capital on consumer spend => ie, people may delay purchases that require financing and be selective on their spend: shop at Walmart but "more on food + less TVs" Herman Goihman Red Bike Capital thanks you Claire Obusan Dawn K. #mobilecommerce #sustainability #ai #marketing #digital #brand #supplychain #customerservice #commerce #accounting #technology #amazon #venturecapital #startups #fintech #consumerbehavior #financeandeconomy
