Sam Kahn has mastered creating an engaging workplace that still gets results.

It begins with setting clear expectations of your team, then offering the support and encouragement to motivate them to achieve those expectations and beyond.

Providing training and opportunities for them to improve their performance, while in a worry-free environment, means your team will stay engaged and driven.

How do you measure your success? Is it by the money you make, how fulfilled you feel, the impact you have on your community, or a combination of metrics?

For Sam Kahn, success is encapsulated by profit yes - but more importantly, by his thriving family with 10 kids plus grandchildren, his contributions to charities and community events, and how he is able to follow his strong faith and values through his line of work.

Samuel Nathan Kahn uses three steps to bring his ideas into life. 💡

✏️ Test, test, test. Always test your idea and explore new ones.
✏️ Choose your audience. Be selective about the people you want to help you with this idea, and don’t put on a performance for your audience; build alliances.
✏️ Write an agenda. Have a goal for every meeting and plan out the steps and discussions needed to achieve it, so you don’t waste time.

One of the best pieces of advice Sam Kahn offers young professionals! 🔥The Japanese term for this is ikigai, meaning your purpose or passion in life.

Your passion should also make you money, fueling your career while fulfilling your desire to improve the world.

Climbing the career ladder is a different journey for every individual. 🪜 You can’t predict the future, but you can map out a rough blueprint of the ladder you want to climb by:

📜 Doing a self-assessment. What makes you happy? What is profitable? What are your strengths?

📜 Setting long-term goals and a specific vision: Where do you want to be in 5, 10 or 15 years? How much do you want to make?

📜 Set steps to take: How can you get started? Is it by taking a course, networking, or updating your CV?

When starting a business, looking for investors who can increase your capital and get you off to a stronger financial position can be massively beneficial - but how do you pick the right investors?

It’s common to approach friends, family, past colleagues or professional connections; people who know you personally and can see your determination and passion for the business.

Here are three tips to consider:

🧮 Don’t pick someone you live with, simply because they are too close to the situation. They may begin to judge what you spend money on, how much you work, or the business decisions you make.

🧮 Make sure they know your industry, and have a complementary skill set. They’ll understand and appreciate your vision, while opening doors to potential new opportunities.

🧮 Ensure your investor is in a stable financial position. One of the worst potential pitfalls is if your investor suddenly pulls out or asks for their investment back due to financial strain.

One of Samuel Nathan Kahn’s most powerful quotes. 🖋️

There isn’t one standard formula for success or happiness - you must forge your own path, and not be distracted or discouraged by others’ lives!

Sam Kahn always encourages intuitive thinking among young professionals; it’s an often underrated trait that is commonly sought out by employers!

When you’re an inquisitive candidate, you’re more attractive to businesses who want to hire a person willing to not only train, but to continue improving at their role and in fact, learn how to support their team.

It’s also an advantageous trait for entrepreneurs and business owners - as an inquisitive person, you will never tire of continuous learning, improvement and upskilling, which will put your business far ahead of others.

When the economy suffers, small businesses are the most impacted. Even after the economic conditions right themselves, it can be difficult for these businesses to regain their footing, having had to change their operations to stay above water. 🌊

Businesses have to adopt the right mindset to increase their financial longevity, even through inflation and destabilising world events. This includes a customer-centric approach combined with adaptability.

When customers know you are prioritising them, even if it becomes more difficult to afford your products or services, they’re more likely to continue engaging with you. A loyal customer base will justify their continued expense with your business, because they derive extra value from you. This is achieved through adapting to market conditions, making it easier for customers to continue buying.

You do not need to push yourself to exhaustion every day, rather, focus on taking a small yet tangible step forward in your journey every single day.

Whether that means doing your best at work, setting aside half an hour to learn about a new skill, or simply giving yourself a rest day to energise and plan your future, this will get you farther than you realise.
