OF THE BRIEFING
"PARTNERS" AND ALL THAT JAZZ |
You've heard it so often it sounds like a mantra: "Partner
with this VC." "Partner with that bank."
"Partner with an angel."
Bull.
They don't want a
"partner". Oh, it's a very nice illusion. You join
arms with your funding source and march off into the sunset.
But it's just not real. VC's
haven't got time to march off into anyone's sunset. Nor do any
other financiers that I know of.
They need leaders. Leaders are
the ones who are successful. Leaders pull a team together.
Leaders forge new ideas. Leaders tackle problems head on.
Leaders are also strong enough to share the spotlight with everyone who
helped, including those bankers/investors who really didn't do all that
much.
There probably was a time when your
local banker would sit down with you and go over your financials,
looking for ways he could help make your business better. But
those days are long gone.
Now when you step up to shake the hand of
an investor or lender, be the leader. Be the one who says,
"I've got the answers. Do you want to come along?"

BUSINESS IDEA
GO FOR REALLY SMALL
BUSINESS |
Do you want a very profitable business? Go small.
Just look at the
stats. Over 70% of all new businesses are very, very small in
numbers of employees. One or two people working together is
becoming the norm.
That's where your
market is.
Let me assure you, lots
and lots of the "small businesses" are anything but small when
it comes to product/service/business potential. And they are not
poor.
There is a huge support
service network emerging, designed especially to meet the needs of these
companies. Telecommunications companies, office supply companies,
advertising services focusing on promoting the small business -- these
and lots more are taking over traditional companies' influence.
Hundreds of thousands
of businesses need your service. If you can find a way to market
to them, you've got your future secured.
