Entrepreneurs: The Only Thing Worse Than Going The Wrong Direction – With Your Start Up Company
One of my favorite proverbs is, “The only thing worse than going the wrong direction, is going the wrong direction enthusiastically!”
One thing about us entrepreneurs: we love doing things enthusiastically – especially when we are trying so hard to get from our current Point A to our desired Point B as quickly as possible.
The problem, of course, is that if we go charging off in the wrong direction, at some point we have to stop, turn around and retrace our steps back toward Point A and start all over again.
The upshot of starting over again is all the time, energy, effort and money that you just spent going down that dead-end trail is mostly wasted – the time spent going the wrong direction delays your successful implementation of your vision.
It also means that you need more money, more time, more effort than you would have otherwise needed if you had done a better job of planning and pick the right direction to begin with.
That’s really the purpose of The Four Big Dots that are covered in my Deviled Details Action Planning Service. The Four Big Dots of Deviled Details are: your personal plan, your financial model, your action plan and your business plan.
Even if you just do a little bit of work on each of the Big 4 Dots…even if you only generate a couple of dozen action items…even if you only make sweeping approximations for your underlying business model assumptions, you’re probably going to be much better off because you’ve eliminated some of those wrong directions.
The more time you spend on all of those Deviled Details, the more wrong directions that get eliminated. The more wrong directions that get eliminated, the much more likely will be your success.
So, what’s it worth to you?
How many hours are you willing to invest in order to eliminate as many wrong directions as you possibly can? One? Five? Ten? Hundred?
How many hours, months or years are you going to waste, otherwise, cleaning up the mess from not doing it right the first time?
With The Deviled Details Action Planning Service, you will learn how all four Big Dots are interrelated for your own company – and how not doing even one of the Dots correctly can be a deal killer that will block your path to success.
