THE FOUNDER’S FIX
I believe optimizing your entrepreneurial journey begins and ends with the question “how do you spend your time?”. As much as possible, entrepreneurs should spend their time where three qualities intersect: activities that bring them joy, activities that use their unique abilities, and activities that make them money. Your goal is to spend as much time as possible doing things that check all three boxes.
The samurai level of this concept is getting your entire team to adopt this strategy, so all employees are spending their time in these three areas, too. That’s incredibly difficult. One entrepreneur did it, though: Nick Sonnenberg from Leverage. Here’s his story.
For another spin on this idea check out Dan Sullivan’s ABC Model Breakthrough (free copy in the link) or any of his writings about “Unique Ability”.
THE LEGAL FIX
Ohio has many consumer protection laws that address issues ranging from credit card transactions to telemarketing to installment contracts. Many of the state’s more than 25 consumer-protection laws have a particular focus that may or may not apply to your business (e.g., the Hearing Aid Returns Act); however, you certainly need to be familiar with two of the consumer protection laws with the broadest applications: The Ohio Consumer Sales Practices Act and The Ohio Deceptive Trade Practices Act.

Here’s a twofer:
- We love spontaneous travel – or at least we did pre-Covid. Now we’re going to Google and U.S. Embassy pages to see what travel restrictions look like in any country we want to visit.
