3 Things Your Small Business Can Learn From Dr. Seuss

3 Things Your Small Business Can Learn From Dr. Seuss

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss! (March 2nd) And happy Read a Book Day. Given the holiday, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on how Dr. Seuss’s works relate directly to small business, and what we all can learn from Dr. Seuss.

For any that were unfortunate enough to miss out on the revolutionary works of Dr. Seuss throughout childhood, here’s some of his greatest works to read immediately: The Lorax, The Cat in the Hat, Oh, the Places You’ll Go!, and Green Eggs and Ham.

#1: Teach With a Story

So much can be said about story telling. It’s part of our core. We remember things through stories. So the same thing can be said for your customers. Teach them about your product with a story. How you came up with it. The struggles, the triumphs. Tell a story of how they’ll use it.

It’s much easier to tell a story than reiterate or recite sales copy.

#2: Be Extraordinarily Imaginative

Paint a picture in your customer’s mind. Make them feel it. Breathe it. Apple is does masterfully. Use words like ‘you’ more than the product’s name. Words like ‘imagine’ or ‘just think’ help consumers change their way of thinking. Putting them in the driver’s seat.

#3: Help Them Understand in a Way They Understand

Dr. Seuss’s children’s book may be small, but they pack a powerful punch. They tell grand stories, philosophies, and morals that our small children can understand. The Loraxtalks about how we should think about our actions and the world around us. And the effects we have on it.

Talk to your customers they way the talk. Don’t through big words at them that they don’t understand (just because they sound fancy). When you need to explain something techy, use analogies. I often compare websites to houses. Something most anyone can understand.

Conclusion: Don’t Try to Change the World

We can all take away something from Dr. Seuss. I don’t believe Dr. Seuss wasn’t out to “Change the world.” I believe he was out to help children learn and understand. And with that, he ended up changing the world.

What will you do to make a difference? Create something that solves real problems in the world.

On college: "We should never stop learning, exploring, building and challenging ourselves to contribute to society. We shouldn't let conventional be our compass either. We should embrace the creativity, the failure, the passion that comes with growth. And realize that college is only one of many paths to yield the user the tools and education needed to be proficient when thrown into the real world. My educational preference is YT.
