Biting off more than you can chew...

I got a response to my survey question and this is what was asked:

"You don't want to be over zealous and bite off more than you can chew so how do you know where to begin when you decide to start your business?"

Well, it will depend on the question you ask yourself. Many people will figure out what they may be thinking about doing and then try to figure out how. While their in the process of thinking this over they think about their why. And if the work is too difficult that's the moment the dream tends to die. People have this imaginary wall that seems like a constant obstacle of where to go next or how to even get started. The minimal question in this process is why do you want to do it. 

Your process should be Why, How, then What. To know where you should begin, find out your Why first. Why is it important to open up this business? How do you plan on solving this issue? What can you provide or do to solve this problem? You see, businesses are about solving problems. The more you help people solve a problem and  the better you are at doing it... the more money you can make and gain notoriety. 

So here's a few ideas to think about before starting a business. Are you ready?

• Think about something that gets your emotions involved where there is a problem to be solved. For example: "I needed something shipped overnight when I absolutely needed it sent and delivered without fail": FedEx. Or "I'm so tired of buying CD's and spending hours downloading and burning CD's of my favorite songs while carrying around this bulky CD player to listen to those songs": Apple IPod. Or "I like to travel but hotels are so expensive, why can't I just stay on someone's couch for a few days and pay a fraction of what I'd pay a hotel": AirBnB. This is you why. Why is it important to you?

• Think of how people would benefit from your product or service. How will it make their lives easier? How will it make their lives more convenient? If people do not have a problem to be solved then your product or service isn't of use to them. People buy out of what they feel they need to have to solve a problem. So give them something they could actually use. You don't have to create something that will work for everybody as trying to solve everyone's problem is almost impossible. Solve a problem for a group and be the best at it. Selling air conditioners in Antarctica might not be the best business model, so it has to make sense?

• Ask yourself is it moral and ethical? You want to make sure that the need your solving for won't violate code of ethics policies or get you locked up and thrown in jail.

• Does it excite you to learn more about building on this idea for a product or service? Does it get you inspired to go out and find the resources to make it a reality? What is it? Think about when you wake up in the morning to go to work. Most people don't get too excited about going to work, as my wife would say, "I don't feel like being an adult today." If you love your job, then you're in a good place and this isn't necessarily for you. But think about your idea and identify what the product or service is. When you think about it, does it make you want to drop everything and go out there and take on the world? It should. Whatever you choose be passionate about it.

There are many things to think about when starting a business but you don't need to take a big bite to know if it tastes good. Nibble a bit at a time and follow the ways I've described to see if it will be a business you'd be happy to bring to the world.

Power Seminar to Success Video Below

How do I get people to check out my music?

Does talking to people work for your business?

It should! 

If it doesn't then you're missing out. Stop just sounding like a robot and get out and talk with people.

Conversations and drip mail still work. 

Above all build relationships with your audience. Begin with people you know and actually check on what they're doing. I always say, "when networking and building relationships, it should be more about them than it is about you." Find out what their doing and what inspires them. The conversation moves to a dialogue about them to a mental trigger called "reciprocity" (Jeff Walker) that then has them ask about you. Now you have an open platform to promote yourself as they had. Make sure you have a simple and direct call to action to what you wish for them to do. Got it?

What kind of mentality differentiates billionaires from millionaires, and "ordinary people"?

Good day,

While doing some reading I came across this article that I felt would be interesting enough for you. It touches on the mentality people have that differentiates them from being a Billionaire to a Millionaire to an "ordinary person". 

What kind of mentality differentiates billionaires from millionaires, and "ordinary people"?

Alex Moore

"I live and work in Tech/SF/Silicon Valley. I know a few billionaires, a TON of millionaires and even more ordinary folks.

The main thing I see, at least in the tech community is that millionaires tend to be really good at understanding systems of value creation (AKA successful startups) and placing themselves into those systems effectively. They smartly interview for and get great jobs in these companies. They not only do that, but they are smart enough to understand the culture being put into place and they take on the values of that culture and expand those values. They go out and recruit their smart friends and add to the cult. Over laced on this mindset is the idea that the world is a semi-set place. It's changing, but they view basically their role as something where they can take part in it all. The difference here then between millionaires and billionaires is quit vast.

Billionaires (AKA the founders of these few companies) tend to view the world as a tangibly fungible place. Billionaires see the world and want to move the puzzle pieces entirely around. They look for the faults in the ecosystem and identify massive holes and what could be added to take that value. Then they spend about 10 years maniacally attacking the gap, organizing people, recruiting and generally creating a cult. They create a bible so to speak of values and ideas that bundle together in an appealing way to attract other smart people (aka the future millionaires). The billionaires I know don't look forward to the weekend. They don't drink. They work from 5am to midnight everyday including weekends. They don't socialize with friends, they mix friends and work. It's all one big chain that supports their vision of the future and tying up the value. This is a different internal programming. It's admirable. Most folks actually rely on these billionaire groups to get their own jobs.

I think then the last group of "ordinary" folks are simply disconnected from these valuable new parts of the economy. What do you do if you live in Trent, Michigan today? The auto plants around you are closing. It's tough to be a billionaire potential person in that environment, but 100 years ago in 1912 it was actually possible. Ask the Ford family about this.

So overall, location, timing, industry and proximity can come into play. Tech is what's happening now, but other industries happened before. 1950s Texas oil well drilling, 1910s autos Michigan, 2010s Silicon Valley. There is much to discuss, but the mindset pieces are the key and may be universal."

I don't know which category you fall into yet but hopefully this will clear up any doubt you have towards your hopes and dreams. Not everyone is built the same and not everyone will be a billionaire but we all can be successful and rich when it comes to our satisfaction in life.
