Every day, we make around 30,000 choices, many unconscious like selecting socks or deciding on meals. Occasionally, a choice alters your course, impacting your life or steering your career toward success. Adri Broos, CEO of Megekko, known for thoughtful choices, shares lessons for entrepreneurs.

Lesson 1: Pull the Plug on Unproductive Ventures Timely

Entrepreneurs struggle to let go of unproductive products or activities invested with time and resources. Adri advises, "If you find your end goal unattainable, pull the plug in time. Entrepreneurs often do it too late. Sometimes, you need distance to realize the tide won't turn, and it's better to quit."

Lesson 2: Stay Focused

Megekko's initial product range was vast. By narrowing it down to 70,000 products, they decupled their turnover. Adri recommends, "Evaluate your product range, focus on profitable items, and shed excess. Say no to tasks beyond your core. Success lies in maintaining the right focus."

Lesson 3: Know Your Customer

In challenging market conditions, Megekko analyzes customer demographics. Adri suggests, "Understand your customer's situation. Tailor strategies based on their income bracket. Recognize sales patterns during economic downturns, shaping a fitting sales approach."

Lesson 4: Take Time for Crucial Decisions

Crucial decisions demand thoughtful consideration. Adri advises, "Set a deadline for decisions. Avoid haste; sleep on it. Many times, a night's sleep changes your perspective from your initial intuition."

Lesson 5: Make a Choice

Adri's ultimate mantra is, "Make a choice; it's always better than none." Entrepreneurs benefit from actively steering their company's future. Like Adri, opt for intentional choices—it'll benefit your business.
