HANS EARLY-NELSON | Coaching call with an artisan blacksmith from Minneapolis, Minnesota #048

Hans Early-Nelson requested some coaching from me. He's an artisan metalsmith from Minneapolis, Minnesota, who specializes in custom metal fabricating, blacksmithing and jewelry. He’s a super-creative guy that reached out to me after listening to an interview I gave on another podcast. In the email Hans sent me, he posed some initial questions about struggles he was having in business. I replied with some thoughts I had and then offered to do a pro-bono coaching call to see if we could explore his challenges a little more deeply as long as he allowed me to record it for the show. Hans agreed and the call you hear has been slightly edited for time, but not for content. On this show we discuss trying to find creativity, being inspired, and how to leverage what you have in order to grow and and move your company forward. In This Episode, You'll Discover: The difficulties of staying focused on your products • Being routinely inspired • Staying enthusiastic about old products while trying to develop R&D on new products • Improving conversion to buyers • Nurturing customers • Why saying YES to one thing requires saying NO to something else • and more!
