Choosing the Right Market
The conversation emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between the work individuals seek and the projects they accept. By using a golf analogy, the discussion illustrates how professionals should aim for their target market while being open to a broader scope of potential clients. It is suggested that the target is the precise aim, akin to the flag on a golf course, while the market is a larger area where one is still happy to land. This differentiation encourages creative entrepreneurs to reflect on their positioning and the audience they truly serve.
