This week we're in Lane #1 : Business
The Top 15+ Start-Up Commandments
by
Mark Fletcher, Bloglines.com
1. Your idea isn't new. Pick an idea; at least 50 other
people have thought of it. Get over your stunning brilliance
and realize that execution matters more.
2. Stealth startups suck. You're not working on the
Manhattan Project, Einstein. Get something out as quickly as
possible and promote the hell out of it.
3. If you don't have scaling problems, you're not growing
fast enough.
4. If you're successful, people will try to take advantage
of you. Hope that you're in that position, and hope that
you're smart enough to not fall for it.
5. People will tell you they know more than you do. If
that's really the case, you shouldn't be doing your startup.
6. Your competition will inflate their numbers. Take any
startup traffic number and slash it in half. At least.
7. Perfection is the enemy of good enough. Leonardo could
paint the Mona Lisa only once. You, Bob Ross, can push a bug
release every 5 minutes because you were at least smart
enough to do a web app...

Finding a Business Mentor
by Mike Southon
Nicola says: Mike Southon is best known
for his "Beermat Entrepreneur" book which is
a classic, and he has a great "Beermat"
branded series on everything about business.
He's recently launched a membership site for
entrepreneurs which I have just joined -
there are free and paid levels. Of course my
partner Judith Morgan is the best business
coach in the country, in my opinion, and
her site, www.TheLonelyEntrepreneur.com, is
free to the first 1000 members. We are
often asked about how to find a business
mentor....If you are not in our gang, and
you would love to find a mentor, Mike has
just posted a great article on finding a
business mentor......Hope it's helpful!
"Probably the number one question I'm asked
is "Where can I find a good mentor?" closely
followed by "Mike, will you be my mentor?"
This is hardly surprising as mentoring is so
fundamental to the Beermat Model, but
finding a mentor can seem difficult at first
glance.
I always respond to these e-mails the same
way. First, I cannot be your mentor (yet!)
as I don't know you; for a mentoring
relationship to work, the fundamental
principle is that ....

Quote of the week

"The number one reason most people don't start what
they want to start, is because they think their
simple, little efforts won't even dent the mountain
they wish to move.
But little do they know, that's exactly how the
mountain was formed.
I was there."

A note from Nicola

Hi
At last the sun is shining! Towards the
middle of last week, summer really
arrived at last on Shoreham Beach and
boy! I can tell you, it’s made a heck of
a difference to how I feel. Waking up
every day in the certain expectation the
sun will be shining or, if it’s not,
that it will be later.
Funny how the sun shining can make
everything seem possible, it makes
sitting outside the house, on my little
bench in the sun, seem like the best way
to spend time (without a computer!) and
it’s interesting how one’s thoughts turn
to travel when the sun shines. I’m happy
at home when the weather is bad, I have
coping mechanisms and you don’t notice.
But of course, if one wasn’t at home,
the weather might not be quite so bad!
After finally actually getting round to
reading the “4 Hour Work Week” – an
instant classic by the way - and
realising that, after building my house
in Greece, what I most want is to travel
the world and learn new things in each
place! And that, with The Money Gym
Club, the kids, and the people I love,
will jolly well do me on the achievement
front.
If you have been reading my ex-client,
Lea Woodward’s blog, “The
Wandering Woodwards: In An Ideal World”
then you will know that this is exactly
what she and her husband, Jonathan, have
been doing. They are travelling the
world looking for the dream location to
work from. Being a LIP, she calls it,
Location Independent Professional. Great
name, great concept and one we embrace
wholeheartedly at Money Gym Towers.
The kid’s are off to Egypt for a week
with their Dad leaving a quiet house
here, which is great because there are
no more webinars until September, so
it’s a product creation time
interspersed with barbeques, trips down
the beach (daytime for sunning and
evenings (and even nights) for swimming,
when the sea feels warmer!
We have had a great week work-wise, with
all the amendments that we have made to
The Money Gym over the last year, and
mainly due to Rich Schefren’s
“Manifesto” starting to filter through
into a scaleable, sustainable, marketing
and product funnel, integrating slowly
but surely with the new membership site.
Gold Express is going like a bomb even
with the end of the Summer Special
promotion, because I’ve put the imminent
membership fee rise on the site
We have integrated the Kayako support
system into our sites, and it wasn’t as
bad as I thought, except for some
miscommunication with the Indian
Helpdesk/Installation people. Their
English was excellent and they were very
helpful, but we had one issue that we
just couldn’t resolve, due to the words
seeming to mean something else entirely
to my contact there, than they did to
me. Steve had to step in eventually and
he was able to puzzle out that the issue
was, as usual, due to my thinking the
software would definitely do something,
that it definitely didn’t. But it’s very
sexy to use, and as you reply to
questions from your members, you can
tick a box and add it, and the reply, to
the key-word searchable knowledge base.
How cool is that?
Automated marketing, automated delivery
of product, automated outsourcing of
support…we are SO getting there. Talking
of automated marketing, I had a great
call with Mike Segall about generating
new business, principally via tele-marketing
(not to be confused with tele-selling)
and he’s pretty much convinced me it can
work for any business (if you have a
good lead conversion mechanism). Well,
we do, in the form of Judith Morgan,
demon complementary introductory call
giver, who just gently shows folks how
we do things round here, and blows their
mind a bit about the fact they are often
independently wealthy but they just
hadn’t realised it…..Listen to the call
with fellow Ecademy BlackStar Mike
Segall or you can listen to the replays
of all four still by “buying” this zero
price product at
www.TheMoneyGym.com/WorkingLunch.
We are about to launch an audio version
of the Money Gym book, with over 10
hours of audio discussion, one on each
chapter – a great way for readers to
bring themselves up to date with new
ways of doing things since I wrote the
book. We are adding bonus audio – we
have loads!
Then we will bundle that with the “One
Time Only” offer that people see when
they click to buy the ebook, to make it
even more compelling. It already
includes three months membership of the
site, and a hard copy of the book
shipped to their door, so the audio will
be a nice value add to that.
Then we will get the audio transcribed
so that people like me, who would rather
have really horrible things done to
them, than listen to hours of audio, can
read along with the chit chat. More
added value.
What’s next?
Hmmmmm, the “Women Talk Money” workshop
in London. Sorry to say, but if you
registered your interest last week, you
might want to do it again, as something
went wrong on the “back end” as us
internet marketers say, and it didn’t
register anyone. You can do that here at
www.TheMoneyGym.com/Workshop.
The sun’s shining, the sea is blue and
it’s coming up for 6pm – tankini time!
Holiday rules apply on Shoreham Beach!
Have fun! We most certainly are…
Nicola
p.s. There is a Passive Open Day, not
open to the public but open to my ezine
readers, on the 17th August – this week.
You can get to the front of the queue if
you put your name and email in here, at
www.AskNicolaCairncross.com/Recommends/Passive.
I’m often asked about other (apparently
similar) companies, like Acorn and
Progressive, but I don’t know their
work, and until I do, and because we
invest ourselves with Passive, I shall
continue to recommend them solely.
Have fun, we are!
