Why Your Business Wants Steak

Photocase613967945152
It's Friday. You're bracing for the holiday weekend. So are we.

So what do we all do on Friday?

Run naked on the streets of downtown like it ain't no thang but a chicken wing on a string, eating some juicy steak topped with A1 steak sauce, some curly fries, and Mama's salad on the side. Just kidding.

Or somewhat.

Normally on Fridays, we at Trizle do something strange among the business folks (these folks like to call themselves "elite", so we shall call them "elite business folks"). We ask ourselves:

What do we strip out from our business?

For those still stuck on the no-clothes-naked mode, that means we figure out what to stop doing. Whether that's our processes, or our marketing methods, or our products' features -- whatever it is, we focus on cutting the fat. Stripping it. Slicing it. Throwing it away, so that we get that nice, juicy, tender, irresistibly delicious, mouth-watering steak that waters our deep insides. That steak denotes where we shine, where we excel, where our clients freakishly love us. The fat indicates the distractions obstructing our tender meat.

Cut the fat. You know you want too.

All businesses have fat that's waiting to be cut. Some have more than others. So when you're heading out for your holiday weekend, remember:

Juicy, tender steak is good.


Word. p.s. $5.00 on us for your steakhouse dinner tonight. Ask us for details. It's our way of saying thanks for being the most bad-ass, kick-ass, and ridiculously good-looking subscribers on the web. Thank you. We love you like a fat kid loves cake.

[...] Sure, Entrepreneur Magazine is great, but it’s a bit too bloated for me. Business 2.0 cuts through all the fat and just lays it out for you to eat right away, no waiting in line. It has become an entrepreneurship manual to me as I continue to learn more and more every month. [...]
