Hey everyone, ever dreamed of having a business worth 17.5 billion, making 475 million, with over 60 million users, and clients that include 99% of the Fortune 100 companies? Well, it's not just a dream anymore. I'm here to guide you on this journey.

Let's dive into a powerful strategy: the Barbell Strategy. It's the secret sauce behind the rapid growth of companies like Miro, which is now the 14th most valuable private company globally. Instead of creating a complicated pricing structure with multiple tiers, Miro embraced simplicity – they offer something totally free and something very expensive, with nothing in between.

This strategy is straightforward and memorable. It's like a barbell with two massive weights on each end and nothing in the middle. It's about making it easy for your customers to choose and understand what you offer.

Seth Godin inspired me with this approach years ago, and I've seen its brilliance in action. If you want to stand out in a crowded market, like Miro did, don't be afraid to innovate. Differentiation and entry points can still be found even in competitive landscapes.

Another key lesson from Miro's success is their focus on the end user. While many businesses concentrate on the buyer, Miro understands the importance of the whole value chain. Think about how you can help not only your direct customers but also the people they serve.

Now, let's talk about making it easy to start. Attention is precious, and once you have it, build trust and expertise quickly. Don't overwhelm your potential customers with complex pricing structures. Allow them to test your offering easily and seamlessly, just like Miro's freemium model.

Tailoring the onboarding process for different user types is essential. There's no one-size-fits-all approach. Genuine engagement is the next step. Encourage users to share what works for them, creating a sense of community and collective intelligence.

Leveraging the "hand raisers" is another powerful tactic. Customize your messaging based on users' activity levels and maturity stages. It's all about communicating effectively in each stage to boost engagement.

So, before you buy into the idea that giving away knowledge for free weakens you, consider the Barbell Strategy. It's memorable, easy to start with, and can take your business to new heights without burning you out. Move your audience from discovery to commitment and closing, and enjoy the journey.

P.S. Are you juggling too many tasks at once?
