Mark Asquith’s Speech Topics
Building a Business That Doesn’t Become Your Lifestyle Prison
As an entrepreneur, you focus so much on creating a profitable business that it’s easy to build a life that is contingent solely on the success of and your continued involvement in that business. What happens when your entrepreneurial instincts kick in and you begin to explore new opportunities, only to find that your current business has created a lifestyle prison around you that you simply cannot escape? Together, we can find a way to achieve the success that you strive for without the risk of falling prey to your own success.
The Customer is Always Wrong
Building a brand and company that stands the test of time is contingent on one thing: customers loving you and sharing that love with the world. But in today’s society, the customer has more power than ever and, regardless of whether their opinions are positive or negative, accurate or inaccurate, their voice matters more than it has ever done. But, what if your customer doesn’t actually want to be “right”? What if your customers want something else and what if you could harness that to build a future proof company that has advocate marketing built into its very core?
Choose Happiness, Choose Control
From the moment we enter the school system to the moment we retire, we're conditioned to cede control to those with whom we have little in common and who pursue different lives to ours. Our life is short, yet most of it is spent with people we do not choose to spend it with, in the form of work. What if there was a different way? What if there was a way to unlock the life that you truly want? Mark Asquith is a Northern startup founder who found out the hard way that true happiness isn't about what you have, it's about how you feel every single time you open your eyes.
