TeleSeminar Secrets by Alex Mandossian - A ReviewThis is a critique of TeleSeminar Secrets – an eight module training course produced, directed and starring Alex Mandossian. I took Alex’s course last year and wanted to offer a reasonably objective review of his course and my analysis of its cost-effectiveness for other entrepreneurs and start up companies. |
“What Is Your Start Up Company’s Special Ingredient?”
This is one of the key questions I ask my consulting clients who are starting a new business. What would your answer be to this question? Exactly why WILL prospective customers buy from you instead of continuing to do whatever it is they are currently doing?
Amazingly, most entrepreneurs have not even considered this issue - they rarely even have an answer after they’ve thought about it for a while. Marginal “me too” improvements over existing solutions will rarely drive sales for a start up company. This is true even in areas of interest and focus for your prospects. Even great innovative improvements in areas that are not of interest and focus to your prospects will also rarely drive sales.
I call this your YSI: Your Special Ingredient. Sometimes this is called your USP - Your Unique Selling Proposition - a concept and theory that goes back to the 1940s. Others refer to it with a variety of terms, like KSP - Key Selling Point. No matter what the acronym, it is still the same basic question: Why you and your company? More »
What dragons are stopping you from taking the next step with your start up or emerging company? Are you stuck at a fork in the road on your way to success with your vision?
While individually working with over 2,000 entrepreneurs and start up company CEOs, I’ve noticed that, in many cases, one or more of a particular half-dozen deadly dragons can often stop a company in its tracks.
Which ones are blocking your personal path for your start up company right now?
As an entrepreneur with your business plan in hand, what are the two top priorities you have on every day’s action list as you start up your start up company?
Starting and running a company can be overwhelming. Endless new action items seem to appear magically on your To Do List as you day develops - with all of them either whispering or screaming to be your top priority. And, when the day is done, it often seems that one or more of those unanticipated priorities won - and the most important action items you originally had on your list when you walked into your office this morning did not get done - again.
So, how is an entrepreneur to decide on their priorities - especially when there is so much that needs to be done? The answer is surprisingly easy. More »
This one mistake is so critical that it jeopardizes the immediate survivability of your start up company - even before you get started.
What is the second biggest mistake?
Many cost-sensitive entrepreneurs depend on number crunchers, bean counters and newly minted MBAs for their projections - just to save a few dollars.
New start up CEOs doom their new company by pinching pennies in the wrong place. Instead, what they need are pivotal insights from experienced consultants who can provide the guidance the entrepreneur needs for producing a realistic, genuinely implementable business plan.
Your business plan is not some academic document - instead, it is your crucial road map to successful implementation of your vision for your new company.
The most important part of any business plan is the detailed financial projections that are the basis for the entire business model of every new start up company. There are four sets of underlying assumptions that drive all the projections: More »
When you want to raise investment funding from private or angel investors, you have GOT to do it the right way - or you could end up with both the federal SEC and 50 state securities boards coming after you - like what happened last month in Pennsylvania.
The risk of major penalties to you and your company are just too great to do this wrong. Look at what happened in this one case: More »
Want to help entrepreneurs and start up CEOs succeed - while you earn MAJOR affiliate commissions and JV fees at the same time?
Start Up Company University, in anticipation of its product launch for Funding Foreplay, is seeking qualified affiliate marketing and JV partners to accelerate exposure and sales of the company’s new line of products and services.
The University offers these kinds of commissions and fees to qualified and participating affiliates and JV partners:
With those kinds of payouts, how many sales and how much total commissions are waiting to be immediately tapped by you from your client base or lists?
I’ve just added two new widgets here at my blog that will let you immediately download both a Sample Comprehensive Business Plan and a Reg D 506 Private Placement Memorandum (PPM) - for free. The PPM also includes a Prospective Investor Questionnaire and Investor Subscription Agreement.
These two free downloads are very basic, and are not the business plan or PPM that are included and analyzed in detail in Funding Foreplay - but they will show you the fundamental components of what you need for two of the twelve total documents you are required for successfully raising investment capital from venture capital and angel investors. Each document is about 40 pages long and can be immediately downloaded.
For a much more comprehensive business plan and PPM, including samples of all dozen necessary documents you will need, check out Funding Foreplay at www.FundingForeplay.com.

Wishing you STELLAR success with YOUR start up,

As a serial entrepreneur, I find reality TV a complete, contrived waste of time. I’ve never watched American Idol, Survivor, Amazing Race, The Apprentice, etc. Even the commercials showed me more than I ever wanted to know.
However…
There is finally one reality show that I not only watch - but one that I strongly recommend every entrepreneur and start up company CEO should watch religiously.
The show, Start-Up Junkies, on the MOJO Network really does show what it is like to run a new company.
Frank Lloyd Wright once said TV is chewing gum for the mind. He must have been talking about reality TV. However, Start-Up Junkies is a feast for anyone even thinking about starting a company. More »

Starting a new company can often seem so overwhelming - that often you aren't sure where, or how, to even get started with your start up.
It's like putting all the random pieces together for a 10,000 piece jigsaw puzzle - and trying to do it without seeing the box top! Think how much easier, and quicker, it would be to have someone help you - someone who has actually seen that box top.
Many of my services are specifically designed to help you identify all the unique pieces that are required for realistic implementation of your vision for your new company.
Together, I'll show you the fastest and easiest way to get the big picture - and then break down all the action items into manageable pieces. Then, you can assemble the components into your vision for your new company.
I HATE seeing entrepreneurs and their start up companies fail.
Less than half of all start ups see their fourth birthday - and the failures in so many cases would have been so easy to fix, up front, with the right advice and the right mentoring.
If only they had seen the box top, knew what the big picture was
going to be - and had learned the process to manage all the pieces
of the puzzle.
So much time, energy, emotion and money is lost by so many
entrepreneurs being penny-wise and dollar foolish as a direct result
of not getting the right help from the right person at the right
time.
My mission is to provide pivotal and mission critical mentoring to
entrepreneurs and start up CEOs - so their companies not only
survive - but also thrive.
The purpose of this blog is to share some insights I’ve gained
during the past three decades starting nearly four dozen companies -
and serving, during the past 14 years, as a one to one consultant to
nearly 2,000 entrepreneurs and their start up companies in more than
three dozen countries located on six of the seven continents.
If you could benefit from someone helping you with the 10,000 pieces
of YOUR new company start up puzzle, please check out my services or
contact me directly.
