### Uncomfortable confessions from a conference - Knowing how 'you’ll deliver' is part of the attraction

I confess: there’s something that has baffled me for years but I've been too embarrassed to ask about, and now I wonder if I’m too old to bother.

- Last week at a business conference, a well-dressed supplier sidled up to me in public, and ogling my name tag asked, “So what's your value-proposition Drew?”
- I was taken aback. I've never been asked for one so directly. I remember immediately thinking, ‘I’m not sure you’re my type’ and ‘shouldn’t we at least have coffee first to get to know more about each other?’

I must say, the interaction left me feeling manhandled; and a little objectified, too.

### A new way to look at round pegs

Small business, at its simplest form is about being able to manage and solve problems for people, just in time.

So why do many business owners say they regularly struggle to diagnose business problems correctly?

What if the problem they’re solving is the wrong one?

And what’s the long term outcome when you’re constantly pouring your limited time, focus and resources, into the wrong cup?

### Learning how to think better in a team decision environment depends upon this skill

For a small business owner whose competitive advantage is their ability to out-think the competition, this is a problem we need to understand better.

And it starts with learning how to think better in a team decision environment. Never just trust your gut.
