Stephen Wolfram answers questions from his viewers about business and innovation as part of an unscripted livestream series, also available on YouTube here: https://wolfr.am/youtube-sw-business-qa Questions include: How do you track if people are working or not if they are not in the office? I personally do not really like the idea of NFT as just purely art, do you know of any special use cases for NFTs that you think are not considered enough, or have you thought of any special use cases of NFTs that others have not really considered? - Do you own any shares? What companies would you consider worth buy a share of? - What do you think would happen in society if we discovered the Genetic Fountain of Youth? Would you reverse your age if possible? - How much of your software do you understand? - At what level of technology do you think we humans are at, the peak? Not even close to the peak? Close to the peak? - Have you ever designed and/or sold hardware? What skillsets are the same / different for developing hardware vs. software? - Have you created a business applying cellular automata? Do you know someone who did it? Are today's nerds and their enterprises missing out on anything by leaving traditional managerial CEOs out, or do nerds simply produce better products/processes? - Have you seen the Google Primer app? business development info as flashcards in course form - How has your engagement with your company as CEO changed since the initial founding? Did you find it difficult to stop overseeing certain things as the company grew in size, for instance, and as the nature of your role changed?
Happy Friday! In today's episode we'll discuss what a business plan should look like in 2021. A question I often get from people looking to launch their own company is "what do I think about the business plan?" Earlier this week I had the opportunity to listen to 7 start ups pitch their concepts to a group of investors at Remote Demo Day. It's hosted by Jason Calacanis from the Syndicate. One really caught my eye. The name is Fork Farms - they're an agricultural tech start up on a mission to get fresh food production schools and communities. These start ups had 3 mins to do their elevator pitch. Most of them had between 15-20 slides. It's a lot like Shark Tank! If you're a startup looking for an accelerator, you can apply here. So here's the deal, you don't need a 20-30 page plan that no one will read in order to start your business. You can use the 1 page Business Model Canvas to visualize and connect all the business puzzle pieces. Maybe create a 10-15 page deck from presentations. But if you're not going to raise capital then a Business Model Canvas will do. Here's what the BMC does? it describes the companies and it's product's value proposition, infrastructure, customers, and finances, etc. The template contains 9 "building blocks" see above. In my main business, we pay close attention to the 2 Customer blocks, Segments which are the Channels your customers will fall into and the relationships. It's also helpful to use the Value Proposition Canvas from Strategyzer to expand on the topic of customers. That element should address three critical steps on a customers relationship: How the business will get new customers how the business will keep customers purchasing or using its services and how the business will grow its revenue from its current customers. Types of relationships include Self Serve (like DIY), VIP, Membership, Communities = think about the Customer Journey, Customer Experience and if your Customer Service is doing it's best. Business Model Canvas Gust.com Strategyzer Lean Stack ----more---- Questions an entrepreneur needs to answer when creating a business plan. About yourself Ask yourself what's your super power? What are your weaknesses? Is it time to upskill? How much experience do you have in the industry you're going into? What does your personal financial situation look like? Do you have contacts in the industry? About the Product or Service What's your product or service? What about production? Supply chain? Do you need a patent? What's your pricing strategy? Who are your competitors (secret shop them) Are you B2B, B2C, D2C, Gov.? About Operations Legal - Do you need a lawyer for contracts and incorporating the business? Try my friend Steven Stark on UpCounsel Decide whether you'll rent/lease a space VS virtual office Financing/Accounting - ask friends and your banker to refer you to a Small Business CPA or one that specializes in Startups Use Bench for Bookkeeping Quickbooks/Intuit for the software (BOA Payroll) Use Stripe for payments Line of Credit, credit cards, loans, SBA, VC's & Angels. Branding If you're on a tight budget for getting a logo and other assets you can use Spotify's free tools like: Logomaker, Business Name Generator, Domain name lookup, QR code, Terms of use, Privacy Policy & Image Resizer Branding - hire a branding and design agency like SackLunch Alternatively you can use 99 Designs Create a good story (check out my good friends Dan Grech at BizHack and Shlomi Ron at VSI) Do a Design Thinking exercise- Take a look at https://www.ideo.org/ Web & Technology Design and Develop a Website - Wordpress, Wix, Square Space, Shopify, etc. Technology (hosting, email, cloud for docs, contracts) Customer Service Support (consider a Chat or support ticket system on your website) Marketing & Sales Decide on a Marketing Strategy (perhaps take a class at BizHack) Learn with mini lessons from Google - Primer from Google Decide on your goals and objectives. Are you looking to raise awareness, generate leads, drive calls, etc.? Analyze your Customer's Journey Hire a copywriter or find one on Textbroker or Fiverr (SEO experience is a plus) Learn more about Digital Marketing with Prediq or on my Dadpreneur Podcast What's your Social Media Strategy? What's your Email Marketing Strategy? Where will you advertise? What CRM will you use to manage customers? What's your Sales Strategy and Process? Get out there and build a network HR - Talent Development/Acquisition Before you hire maybe consider a VA Use tools to better understand people - Use a DISC and Emotional Intelligence Assessment ----more---- Get a mentor! - preferably an entrepreneur with a successful record For those who've been in biz more than 5 years you can still use the Business Model Canvas to help you optimize your business. Perhaps, you're already doing a SWOT analysis. Are you doing yearly strategic plans? Here are a few programs to help Small Business Owners and Entrepreneurs Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses The Stanford Latino Entrepreneurship Initiative - It's a research and education collaboration between Stanford University and the Latino Business Action Network. Jim Moran Institute at FSU School of Business I've put together a list of resources you can use to enhance your Digital Marketing results and optimize your Website Pagespeed Tool: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/ Free Website Audit: https://www.prediq.io/website-audit/ Prediq Blog: https://www.prediq.io/digital-marketing-and-lead-generation-blogs/ Marketing Podcast: http://dadpreneur.co/ Digital Marketing Education: https://bizhack.com/digital-marketers-course/ Lead Gen Tool Guide : https://www.prediq.io/digital-marketing-tools_prediq-2021/ Marketing Evaluation: https://www.prediq.io/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Prediq-Marketing-Evaluation-2021.pdf Lead Gen eBook: https://www.prediq.io/online-leadgeneration-ebook/ Social Media # Kit: https://www.socialpilot.co/ebooks/trending-hashtags-kit-2021 Find Out Your Facebook Ad Score: http://ssqt.co/m5jrkmK I'll end with one of my favorite quotes; "Dream big. Start small. But most of all, start." -Simon Sinek Some great books for Entrepreneurs, Marketers & Leaders Start With Why and The Infinite Game by Simon Sinek Tipping point, Blink & Outliers by Malcom Gladwell Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill 5 Levels of Leadership by John C Maxwell Good to Great, & Built to Last by Jim Collins and Jerry Porra 4 Hour Work Week by Tim Ferris I hope this helps entrepreneurs put together a quick business plan without fuss. This is really the nuts and bolts of building a business plan that works for you and not the other way around. It's meant to move things along fast. It's all about execution! Don't wait until it's perfect or it'll never go live. In today's global economy that is constantly changing you have to be willing to innovate. You may also consider going to the SBA or SBDC for help from experienced mentors. Before I close this episode I want to tell you that I'm excited about the guests I'm interviewing. Those episodes will start to go live in late April. For now my focus is giving you solid advice on Digital Marketing, Lead Gen and Entrepreneurship and occasionally share my journey as a dad homeschooling my 4 kids with my wife.
