Acton Hero - Russ Rosenzweig

Russ Rosenzweig gave profound personal experience on finding our customer base, and what it means to be significant.  He teaches that we strive and struggle towards our goal because the endeavor is good, significant and meaningful!  Before launching into running our new business idea, it is important to know who your customers will be.  It is also best to have a highly focused/specialized customer base.  It is easy to just say that the whole world will be the market, but that is rarely true.  As an entrepreneur, we need to learn the power of saying no to customers who are outside of the core of our customer base.  After we have achieved a measure of success, we should ask ourselves “Are you successful and significant?”  Russ says that as money comes in – what does one do with all that money?  The more we acquire, the more we want.  It becomes an addiction to acquisition.  Happiness and freedom comes from internal set of goals… we can all be successful, but are we significant?  I think that being significant means being unique and different from others, and are we needed by the customer?
