💡Bonus Insight From Ash

I love the book Blue Ocean Strategy. I think it's really cool because it helps us ponder on what makes our business unique and what we could work on to improve. To bring this concept to life, let's consider the story of a wine company called Yellow Tail.

Yellow Tail is a wine brand hailing from Australia, and they did something very smart that changed the whole game. They stripped down the wine selection process, making it straightforward and fun, which was a breath of fresh air for folks who are not wine connoisseurs.

But they didn't stop there. Yellow Tail designed their bottles to be colorful and eye-catching, making them stand out on the shelves. Their friendly and approachable branding managed to reach out to a whole group of people who previously thought wine just wasn't their thing.

Impressive, isn't it? This is the power of the Blue Ocean Strategy, and now, you can harness this power for your own business with a tool called ChatGPT.

I've prepared a special chat for you. Your task is to click on the link I provide and answer some questions about your business. Once done, ChatGPT will take your answers and help brainstorm ways that could make your business stand out and shine.
