What am I optimizing for?

Uncategorized 1 Minute

Optimization works well when there is a goal. Optimizing for price is one way to setup a business or project. You want to offer the cheapest, then find the cheapest materials, the cheapest employees, the cheapest location, the cheapest everything and then market it up by the smallest amount that will allow you to stay in business.

Here are some other things you could optimize for:

  • Responsiveness
  • Customization
  • Ease of business
  • Quality
  • Happiness
  • Creativity

Most people never even pick an optimization at all. That makes it hard to make any real decisions.

I believe in helping people in whatever way you can. In the power of creativity to transform a life, a business and the world. That if everyone was more generous the world would thrive. I've been an engineer. A consultant. An entrepreneur. And a salesperson. I also enjoy art. Today, I write. Stemming from my diverse experiences, I have a broad perspective and share it with others on topics from doing work you love to running a small business.
