Should You Start A Company

I am writing this blog entry from San Francisco where we just wrapped up a great one and a half day seminar and Teleseminar Secrets Reunion with Alex Mandossian and 200 of his tribe that joined us to help celebrate Alex’s birthday.

Two of the highlights of the reunion were outstanding and epiphany-producing presentations by Raymond Aaron on “Double Your Income Doing What You Love” and Dave Stech on “The Power of 6.”

It was great to finally meet several folks and clients who had only been virtual up until this past weekend…especially so many who are directly on Alex’s core support team…and to develop so many more new relationships as a result of the networking.

I’m looking forward to developing joint ventures with several we met – and to coaching and mentoring others so that I can help them get from their current Point A to their desired Point B faster and more efficiently with my Deviled Details Action Planning Service.

Part of my UnStick The Stuck CEO and Start Up Company Process (www.UnStickTheStuck.com) is to develop my W-Cubed = WHO? Is Doing WHAT? WHEN? (www.ActionAccountability.com) for each line item on the Deviled Details Action Plan.

One of my goals in attending the Teleseminar Secrets Reunion was to meet and interview candidates for my Approved Vendor List. These are the resources that I recommend my clients consider for all the WHOs on all the line items on each of their Action Plans. Fortunately, there were several folks at the Reunion whose services would be ideal for some of my clients.

But all of that starts next week. For the rest of this week, wife Janet and I are going to enjoy some of what the great City of San Francisco has to offer.

Will You Lose Your Job in the Recession of 2008?
Why More People Will Start Their Own Businesses This Year

Consumer confidence is plummeting as is the housing market. Companies from Citigroup to Sprint to Yahoo are announcing big layoffs. There were more than 15,000 mass layoffs nationwide in 2007; this year may be worse. It isn’t pretty in the business world and anyone who works for a big company knows they have zero job security.

While people always fantasize about starting and opening their own businesses, in times of turmoil those thoughts multiply. But should your audience be among those entrepreneurs to take the plunge?

The man to ask is internationally-renowned consultant Robert Lee Goodman, who has consulted with more than 2,000 entrepreneurs in more than 36 countries and has launched nearly four dozen of his own companies.

Invite him on-air to:

• Take calls from audience members who want to start their own businesses. Are their ideas viable?
• Talk about the questions individuals should ask themselves before they pull the trigger.
• Reveal what most would-be entrepreneurs get wrong about developing a business plan, finding backers and other important issues.
• Address why so many baby boomers are finally ready to be their own boss.
• Share some of the reasons why not everyone is cut out to be an entrepreneur.

Jim Lovell: “All right, there’s a thousand things that have to happen in order. We are on number eight. You’re talking about number six hundred and ninety-two.”

One of my favorite quotes…from Apollo 13 (the movie that SHOULD have beaten out an outstanding Braveheart for Best Picture…but I digress.)

It’s been three weeks since I started Teleseminar Secrets by Alex Mandossian. And, I am on Step 8. Alex warns you that his full intention is to provide so much content and so many action items that the faint of heart may feel overwhelmed. Having run multiple companies for the past three decades, I am NOT faint of heart and I do not get overwhelmed easily.

Since this blog is focused on helping folks with their own start up, I thought it appropriate for me to start a thread on something I am doing to re-invent one of my own companies: transitioning Ceo Resource LLC from 1 to 1 consulting to 1 to Many. For the past 14 years, I have focused solely on 1 to 1 – helping almost 2,000 entrepreneurs individually all over the world. It has been tremendously gratifying providing pivotal help to so many folks – many of whom have become very good life long friends. (more…)
