In this episode, Byron discusses:

  • Thinking new in the changing marketplace.
  • The one-step-removed philosophy.
  • Shrinking and simplifying the company while playing defense.
  • 4 Main Strategies for Playing Defense.

Key Takeaways:

  • Disruption in the marketplace often leads to huge winners and huge losers.
  • Meet the market where it is at.
  • The faster you get to profitability at a new, lower revenue level, the safer you will be.
  • You may need to let a few people go to keep the rest of the team.
  • Cutting expenses vs growing revenue, dollar for dollar, is not the same thing.
  • Not all revenue streams are created equal.

"This is really the biggest opportunity; shrink the company, survive, then come back swinging. So when the market comes back, half your competition is gone, and you've got a full playing field." —  Byron Walker
