Do you have a business idea, but don’t know how to get it on the market, where to share the product, or how to identify your target consumers? This week, Wayne Lutomski of Hydro Shot Energy Drink joined the show to talk about his incredible success in the food and beverage industry space, and tips for bringing a new product to market. Wayne starts by telling us about his new business, Hydro Shot, and then dives into some great tips for creating a successful business. Tune in to learn how to position your brand and product, how to understand your ideal consumer, and why you need to have alignment in your values within business partnerships.

IN THIS EPISODE:

• [5:46] What is Wayne’s business background?
• [6:55] What is Hydro Shot and how does it help people over the age of 55?
• [11:02] What is Hydrogen Water?
• [12:13] What is L Citrulline?
• [15:09] What is Wayne’s role with Hydro Shot?
• [19:06] Wayne gives advice on how to compete in a highly competitive market.
• [25:06] Where should a brand with a new product start building their brand in the market today?
• [27:31] How do you make a startup successful when you don’t have a lot of money?
• [29:44] Why is it important for a brand to have alignment with their vision and values?
• [32:52] What is Wayne’s biggest challenge in life?

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• [19:29] Understand the core value of your target consumer, to the point that you understand the psychological point of view and understand what they think about themselves. Having a strong understanding of the consumer is critical in order to message to them accordingly.
• [20:31] To be successful, you must understand the current market dynamics, where your competitors are playing, what they are doing, what their core marketing and sales principles are. Don’t replicate your competitors, just understand what they are doing, and then play a game you can win.
• [30:03] If you don’t share the same values with the partners that you are working with, your relationship is going to fail because you’ll be spending so much time managing the relationship rather than managing the business. Your focus needs to be on the business, not the relationship.
