The Lazy CEO Podcast - How to Build a Better Business Model
In this episode of The Lazy CEO Podcast, host Jim Schleckser dives into the concept of business models and how they impact the success of a company. He compares a good business model to a low-gravity environment, making it easier for a business to thrive, while a bad business model is like heavy gravity, where progress is slow and challenging.
Jim emphasizes the importance of choosing the right business model, as it determines how a company competes, innovates, and serves its customers. He outlines three primary ways businesses can compete: through low-cost leadership, innovation, or customer intimacy.
Jim also discusses the significance of having a compelling offer that makes it nearly impossible for potential clients to say no, highlighting examples of companies that have successfully implemented such offers. Finally, he touches on market positioning strategies, explaining how businesses can defend their position, attack competitors, or find a niche market to dominate.

Hey Jim, Love the episode with Kim. I was just wondering about who manage the CZcams channel of The CEO Project. Please let me know who's the incharge
@@user-ws7dw6el7v we have a content manager.
@@CEOProject Where can we reach out to them?
I think it is an oversimplification of the subject. We have different orientation depending on the context at hand, and that highly correlates with past experiences and personality, e.g., one might be highly task oriented at home since they control this environment but people oriented at work as they shy away from conflict therefore their coping mechanism would be to rather accommodate others’ needs. Sometimes balance is important, and one gets it through frequent zoom out and reflection. But sometimes it is not, probably most social media apps wouldn’t be built with people oriented leaders.
@@reaver9 completely agree. It is designed to help leaders with context on their approach. There are leaders that do not vary based on context.
What about the interest rate charged by bank?
Best advice that I've heard on EP
This is golden information. I am so happy to find this podcast after reading the book. Being a young CEO I was drowning in the loneliness in my journey . This helps me, thank you
All I can say if you work for a business that got bought by PE...RUN it will not get better they are frauds who could care less about operations.
Thank You, Dr. Schlesker. This episode was quite insightful, and full of the results of critical thinking (on your part) with regards to what strategy is really all about. Strategy is a means to an end, it is there as a tool to help businesses create a sustainable competitive advantage. I look forward to your next videos.
More people have viewed Bigfoot
And mermaids. sometimes the videos do better, sometimes worse. this one was an experiment. thanks for the kind feedback!
21 views! Do lots of people really ask you anything?
Surprisingly. They do! Thanks for the feedback!
I have a great idea for you. There is a high probability that business managers hold stocks. Why not donate those stocks to Buddhist temples or meditation centers in Sri Lanka or Thailand? If you sell your stocks and donate them, the benefit will be one-time, but if you donate them as stocks, the dividends will benefit the temple or meditation center you donated to in perpetuity. When you die, you cannot take a single yen of your assets with you. However, good deeds bring benefits wherever you are reincarnated. For those who are financially well off, donations are an easy good deed to carry out. Why not become a sponsor who supports the teachings of Buddha for a long time? Even if you earn a lot, the government will collect your profits through taxes. In that case, I think it would be a good idea to donate to the teachings of Buddha to gain a sense of security after death and fame from the people of Buddhist countries. May all living beings be happy.
Anyone “coach” who mentions people like Obama or Zuckerberg as examples of how to carry themselves are missing the entire mark. Unfortunately carrying yourself as a professional gets confused with carrying yourself self like a professional liar. For people like myself who can see thru bullshit in a darkroom need a more comprehensive explanation.
Would like this to be an hour video
Yikes. I am not sure that I would watch that one
Amazing podcast! A real treasure for those working to improve
Glad you enjoyed it!
They will destroy your company.
Read: "Buy Back Your Time" by Dan Martell
Loved the discussion on leveraging fractional executives for strategic guidance. Clear deliverables and expertise make a real difference!
I was looking at fractional CFOs just yesterday, great timing!
Always happy to get a bit of luck! I hope it helped.
Sounds like a good transition to BlueCXO
The video I needed
AI driven is the answer to integrated healthcare platform across stakeholders.
Warren buffet says it’s a scam
*Promosm*
Another I think is not being open minded
Note to self, never ever invest in this type of scheme due to having a conscience. Note to people that own a business, never EVER sell your business unless you plan to take the cash up front and walk away. These type of investments are purely profit driven and will never end well for the average worker or business owner wanting to 'stay' with the company. the sad thing is that this crap is taking over healthcare as well. the company I work for was 'bought' and now that it's been about a year or so, they just announced a big layoff of middle management. I am clinical, so I will probably be expected to do more with less. Which is a reason I quit a long term job 3 years ago!! Just to end up in another one. UGH.
Thanks for such a quick and succinct explanation and definition of types of power!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video. Short and to the point.
Glad you liked it
Best video yet
When a company loses its founder, that spark is lost. Founder had the original mission. He knew the direction he wanted to go. But when suitmen come in, everything becomes heartless. That happened to every company which founder died or sold the company. The knowhow goes with the founder.
Steve was an artist. Through and through
Thanks!
You bet!
You’re welcome.
Good talk
Th-e that's gorgeous ~ bye,
Thank you for this great advice .
Why are you obsessed with the word 'why'? WHY????????????
Would like to hear more Jim on the sales process and/pr how startup partners buy the other out or wind down KTLO
I own a service sector franchise and it was bought three years ago by Neighborly, a PE backed conglomerate. They’ve f-ed it up some bad that longtime franchisees aren’t renewing their contracts when they expire. Fired everyone at the corporate level that knew the most about the business, outsourced our scheduling center, are micromanaging the zees, and costing us more money in royalty’s and giving us less services and return in exchange.
Thanks Jim
They buy a failing business or cheap business. Chop it up , lay offs and sell parts off. Make it seem more profitable then is and sell it for 5x return . Jack off at cocktail bar as they boast to Goldman Sachs guys how much better their jobs are
A company I worked for was bought by a Private Equity company. Morale fell off a cliff, good people left, and all focus was on money, nothing else. 🤮
Audio sounds better :-)
Watching live from Malawi, Africa.
Excellent
Private equity should be banned
This is one of the only executive gravitas videos that I have seen on here that actually had a person who displayed it. Many of the executive presence videos seem to be led by people who have no grasp of it in practice only theory.
Thank you.
Dear Jim, I trust this message finds you well. My name is Chase, and I am reaching out to you with great enthusiasm and admiration for your podcast endeavors. I wanted to introduce myself and share a bit about my own venture, "Help Theory." Allow me to provide a brief background. I am a 23-year-old entrepreneur, born and raised in Jupiter, Florida. In my pursuit of making a positive impact on the world, I am currently in the process of creating a podcast named "Help Theory." Help Theory is a social enterprise that aims to blend business, the power of social media, a sense of divine love, and the synergy of masterminds to foster a community of individuals committed to seeking solutions for global challenges. Help Theories overarching goal is to cultivate innovative products and services, and to do whatever it takes to achieve that mission! 😂 I would be genuinely delighted if you might consider joining forces with us on this exciting journey. We are actively seeking individuals who share our vision and passion to help create a better world. Your expertise and insights would undoubtedly be very HELPful. 😂 If this idea resonates with you and you're interested in discussing potential collaboration or simply learning more about Help Theory, I would be thrilled to schedule a conversation at your earliest convenience. Thank you for taking the time to read this message, Jim. I look forward to the possibility of joining forces and making a meaningful impact together. Warm regards, Chase
