I’d be down for Part 3 with Paul Akers

This has been by far the most valuable content so far! Paul Akers and his "Keep it simple" mindset is remarkable. Find the problem and money is a byproduct is such a great way to think. Many people try to figure out what businesses make them money instead of thinking about the true reason for the product which is to create something people have to have! Love this! Thanks for sharing!

[ThinkYourHealth]

Servicing your customer, money is a byproduct. Profound statement.

That bit about service being the most important aspect is something most companies ignore. Its great to hear someone voice that.

[anonymoususer]

These maybe some of the top, if not the top, videos in terms of content, production, information, enjoyment, etc.

[FamousJames]

Great product ideas and mind but if its a hot day or you are getting deliveries and those items are attached to the door whilst it's up, there's a problem, you have to close the door to get items again and re-open the door. I love the way he thinks, make things simple and people will want them.

[robsantaanaca]
