About this event
Competency: Transforming a "Distressed Asset" into a Global Category Leader.
Imagine inheriting hundreds of "worthless" paintings. That's exactly what happened to Jo van Gogh, Vincent's sister-in-law, in the early 20th century. While everyone told her to give up, she defied the odds—and the social conventions of her time—to build a market for Vincent's art from scratch. Her radical, intuitive business genius transformed a forgotten estate into the multi-billion-dollar legacy we know today.
In this talk, Joan will dive into the 12 specific strategies Jo used to overcome obstacles familiar to every entrepreneur:
• Volatile markets & economic uncertainty
• Intense competition & market saturation
• Burnout & personal well-being
Jo's story isn't just a historical footnote; it's a practical blueprint for building a business from the ground up. You'll leave with a clear plan to find your unique niche, evangelize your brand, and turn your ideas into a valuable legacy.
