The Rahman Effect

Welcome to The RAHMAN EFFECT,
In today’s topic, we explore the crucial business skills that can drive growth and make your life easier. Let's dive into a powerful concept from the bestselling book, The Personal MBA by Josh Kaufman: Mental Models.
What are Mental Models?
Mental models are the frameworks you use to understand and make decisions. Think of them as mental lenses that help you see situations more clearly and analyze them from multiple angles.
Why Mental Models Matter in Business
Smarter decisions: By having various mental models at your disposal, you avoid relying on gut feeling or guesswork. You'll consider a broader range of possible outcomes and act more strategically.
Problem-solving superpower: Mental models help you break down complex issues into their core components, making problem-solving more efficient.
Improved communication: You'll be able to explain your thinking process more clearly and persuasively engage with customers, partners, and your team.
One Powerful Model: Value Creation
The most fundamental mental model in business is understanding value creation. Ask yourself:
What problem does my product/service solve for customers? Go deeper than superficial features!
What makes my solution uniquely valuable compared to alternatives?
How do I quantify the value I provide? Attaching numbers (time saved, profit gained, etc.) makes your offering crystal clear.
Action Step: Apply the value creation model to one core process in your business. Do you think the reason for the problem lies in your marketing message, product design, or customer onboarding process? See where it leads!
