Should You Start A Company

Are you starting a new company or a major, new project or kicking off a new division of your existing company?

If so, you probably already know that a business plan would help you succeed – but do you know what else you need to “connect all the dots” so that you can REALLY get from Point A to Point B?

Watch this short video about Deviled Details to find out the other three major “must have” components that you will need to successfully implement YOUR vision for YOUR new venture.

I’m sure you’ve heard the proverb, “The devil is in the details.” I call it “The Deviled Details.” These Deviled Details are almost always what keeps folks closer to their Point A than their Point B.

One of the key issues mentioned by several of my clients was that they did not know what to do first. And those who knew what to do first did not necessarily know what to do next.

They reported being “stuck.”

They reported being unsure of how to implement all the various “details” required to fully implement everything that was required to start their company or their new project.

However, if you’ve never started a company that generated money in your pocket outside of selling stuff on eBay, then get ready for a long list of action items that will be required to get you from your current Point A to your desired Point B.

This long list of action items, business strategies and tactics are what I call “The Deviled Details” required to get you to your desired point B.

Are you considering the romance and seduction of angel investors or venture capital?

If so, your credibility will be significantly enhanced by completing The Deviled Details Action Planning Service. Prospective investors will be able to clearly see your game plan – and understand how well thought out your implementation steps are.

This can give you a huge competitive advantage over other, competing investment opportunities where those companies only have arm-waving generalizations in answer to the hard questions prospective investors can ask.

With The Deviled Details Action Planning Service, you will be prepared for virtually any question that prospective investors might ask. And, the great thing is: it isn’t just all for show.

You really will be much better prepared to get your new company to your desired Point B – the same Point B that you will be promising prospective investors – all because you were smart enough to see all the benefits of investing in The Deviled Details Action Planning Service.

Get Unstuck – And Get To Your Point B

That’s one of the goals of my Deviled Details Service: To give you the comprehensive Deviled Details to get you to your desired Point B as efficiently and effectively as possible.

Another one of my goals is to “Unstick The Stuck.”

I hope this video will help get you “unstuck” and back moving toward your goal of reaching your Point B.

I just completed setting up a new blog that has but one purpose:  to help everyone accurately predict their own personal five year future.

Hope Is Having A “Point B”

As many of you may already know, I have two apparently disparate careers: one, as an internationally-known management consultant to start up and emerging companies – two, as a relationship expert and published author of a book called, “Efficient Love.”

Even though this combination may seem strange, these two parallel careers are really not as dissimilar as they might first appear.

As a matter of fact, these two different personal focal points I have share a common, passionate mission of mine:  Helping people get from their current Point A to their desired Point B – for both their personal life and their business life.

I want to help you finally define the right-for-you Point B for your life – there is absolutely no cost, no obligation – just my best wishes that you find your Point B sooner than later.

The premise of my personal mission is:  If folks will freely choose and fully define their DESIRED Point B, they are much more likely to reach their DESIRED Point B.

I use the Five Year Life Quiz as a starting point for most all of my consulting clients — whether it’s for Efficient Love or my management consulting related to starting or growing a company. Until I know my clients’ real and personal Point B, I can’t fully understand how to give them the very best help possible.

But beyond this business use, I strongly believe that everyone can greatly benefit from this methodology. Every man, woman and near-adult child can use this basic approach to more fully take control of their own lives.

I’ve been using this Quiz with business clients and relationship clients alike for the past dozen years. During that time, it has been gratifying to see the overwhelming, positive impact it has had on so many folks.

Because of these successes, I already know this process can help those who approach it with an open mind.

Because these issues are so important to virtually everyone’s life, I want to offer this Five Year Life Workbook as a free gift to everyone – so you can realistically take control of your life and find the congruent path to your own fulfilling personal Point B.

It is my way of “paying it forward” to the world — whether we ever do business together or not.  Even if there is less than a zero chance we will ever work together – I still want you to grab this Quiz for YOU!

If this Quiz even helps you have one insight that will help you get more quickly to YOUR desired Point B, then that is all the reward I want.

“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?
