What produces maximum result?

- Using the pareto principle, now you know


the 2 or 3 things that can provide you with
huge results.
- The idea is to eliminate things that produce
zero or low results so that you can focus on
things of greater importance.

Part 5: “Brand yourself before others brand you!”

Your target audience


Find the slides at: madhavbahl.tech/birthday
THE
LEAN
PROGRAMMER
Target Audience
A specific group of people having similar interests who are most likely to
be interesting in what you want to display.

1. Study your current network, is there any similarity?


2. Know yourself, and “what value/service” are you offering
COMPLETELY!
3. Study your goals, and make a rough idea in mind what your target
audience is like.

Don’t search for date on LinkedIn, remember that every platform has a
specific audience not everyone is there on every social platform. So, find
out which social platform does your audience use the most.
